Nope. That's just more generalized theory/instruction, go straight up and down.That's what you tell kids who are jumping all over the place. But if you were to put a quarter on the ground and go up with perfect form, you're going to land about 3-6" in front of it.
A natural jump shot has your feet floating forward slightly at the release/follow thru. And attempting to come down and land on that quarter every time you would shoot a FT is just dumb.
