Question about a layup

Having played, officiated, and coached, I dont have the darndest visual of what this is asking. And I dont recall the last time I saw a shot in which the player did not jump.

That would be a "set shot." It's an old antiquated technique that died as defenders started trying to block shots.

I'm certain MTD, Sr. could provide more information. Padgett could help as well, but I'm not sure if he's taken his meds yet this year.

I got this one. You're in the wrong sport. A "set shot" is when Bjorn Borg used to pass John McEnroe down the line to win 6-4.
