This isn't the NBA.
Most of that is repetition. 6 to 8 hrs a day of repetition. When you get to college, your shot is pretty much what it is. Flawed or not. The muscle mechanics are ingrained. That's not to say little things can't be corrected through a lot of repetition but this isn't the NBA. College players do not have 6 hrs a day to work on their shot. Classes, homework, study time, practice drills, film study, weight training, etc.
Not true at all. Interviews with Jeff Hornacek while he was with the Jazz confirm that he never learned proper shooting technique until he got to the NBA. Looking back at film when he was with ISU confirms it - his shots had a side spin instead of backspin. That's why he was a streaky long-range shooter in college and why he became a consistent long-range shooter in the NBA.
