The use of all the individual or collective technical-tactical contents are oriented to achieve this objective. Between the different kind of shots, the only one which can be considered as a close task is the free throw, which means that it is developed in a stable environment. Despite of that the accuracy percentage obtained in real competition are really far away from the ideal results. This work try to analyse the incidence of free throw in the final score of the official games as a start point to revise deepthly about the methodological process of training.
