The aim of this thesis is to emphasize the great occurrence of free shots in basketball, the percentage they have in number of overall wins and thus the importance of offensive options when taking free shots and the ways they are taught, learnt, and practiced. Basketball is a game in which two teams, of up to five players, attempt to get the highest score. The control over the ball is achieved by leading the ball or passing it among players of one team. Every attempt at physical interference of the opposing team’s player is called a foul. If the foul is committed at the time of a player attempting a shot or if the opposing team is leading, then a free shot is awarded. In basketball, the players are usually divided between five playing positions. Each player is given a position, at which they are supposed to complete the tasks given and each carries a criterion by which the players are valued, one of which is the success rate of free shots. The aforementioned variable used for player and team efficiency assessment has been established not too long after the invention of the game itself. In accordance to that, situational structures and movement structures important for the game efficiency have been developed. As modern basketball is aiming towards a team having multiple players who can play at different positions and complete different tasks, both attack and defence roles, thus is greater their influence on the game outcome, which greatly effects the importance of creating situational structures when carrying out the free shot that are partly presented in this final work.
