Hank Luisetti, who played for Stanford University from 1935 to 1938, is credited with introducing and popularizing the one-handed shot in college basketball.12
Before Luisettiās innovation, the standard method for outside shooting was the two-handed push shot. Luisetti developed his running one-handed shot on the playgrounds of San Francisco and debuted it on the national stage during a 1936 game at Madison Square Garden. Although initially met with skepticism by the basketball establishment, the shot eventually transformed the sport by replacing the slower, static game of two-handed set shots with a faster, higher-scoring style of play.21
