Early Practioners of the Jump Shot: One of the earliest known practitioners of the jump shot was Roy “Flip” Allen. He graduated from Mt Morris, Il, High School in 1932. For six to eight hours a day for the next three years, he shot baskets and played pick-up ball at the Mt Morris College Community Hall. During those three years, he developed a shot essentially the same as the modern jump shot.
From 1935 until 1939 Allen played basketball (and three other sports) for Northern Illinois State Teachers’ College (Now Northern Illinois University). Though the coach threatened to bench Allen for shooting the jumper, he said that he “used it when he needed to.” Allen was inducted into the NIU Hall of Fame and selected for its “All Century” basketball team.
As a junior high school coach and PE teacher, Allen taught the jump shot to hundreds of kids. He also used it himself playing three years as a forward for the Sterling-Rock Falls semi-pro team, and as a member of various U.S. Air Corp teams.
