Shooting faster than one shot per second, Coach Bob Fisher of Centralia, Kansas made 88 free throws in two minutes to smash the Guinness world record of 68 on March 7, 2010. This is Fisher's second Guinness world record in two months after he set the most free throws in one minute with 50 on January 9, 2010.
Both records were set at Valley Heights High School in Blue Rapids, Kansas where Fisher served as a shooting coach this past season. "Bob was looking to break the record to demonstrate the effectiveness of his methodology," says Ryan Noel, head girls' basketball coach at Valley Heights High School. "His studies into shooting have really taken him beyond what others in the world have been able to figure out."
Fisher released a shooting video, 'The Secrets of Shooting' in 2008 and simply incorporated its content and approach into his training. "There really are secrets of shooting," said Fisher, "and knowing them definitely helps."
Fisher does not plan to stop at two world records. He is currently working to set up a fund-raiser in conjunction with his next attempt to help raise money for much needed repairs to a gym in his local school district.
To lock in the title of "Fastest Basketball Shooter in the World", Fisher's next goal is the most free throws in 5 minutes.
