  • Summary

  • Larry Costello was the last NBA player to employ the two-handed set shot. The one-handed jump shot had taken over basketball in the 1940s, but Costello was still using the old-fashioned shot even in the 1960s. Later during his tenure as the Bucks' coach in the 1970s, he invented the idea of watching game film to study an upcoming opponent, an invaluable practice now. While he may have been an old-school player, he was certainly not an old-school coach, and he was even inducted into the Hall of Fame as a contributor for creating the idea of studying film.
