limit/control all variables and shoot without needing to think about it

This is applicable to both fts and js.  Also, pitching, bowling, throwing darts, shooting pool, curling, putting....  
sure it does, but ft's and j's aren't the same.  i think.

If you bring a player in to your program under the assumption that he is going to be a shooter then for the most part you let him shoot with his own form that he is comfortable with (i.e. Denis).  The only time you mess with a perimeter shooter's approach is if they have a low, Fred Brown, release point.  There is a huge transition from hs, where that might work, and college, where your shot selection greatly decreases.  Dom, on the other hand, is a perfect example of a situation where spending time on proper mechanics is worth it.  His shot is timid and lacks confidence, but these are problems that can be fixed.  He needs to stop second guessing his shot and just let it fly, that insecure hesitation kills him.  He fades/leans too much on his jumpers, even if he's open, whether it be forwards or backwards,  and doesn't follow through.  He needs to learn to find a focal point, like the back of the rim, and watch the shot all the way through every singe time.

There is no "good" form or "bad" form. Consistency is all that matters.  If you consistently make shots using "bad" form then is it really "bad" form, or just unique.  Inconsistent form is what leads to bad shooting.

Form helps consistency.  For example, a low release will get your crap swatted more often than a high release.

This is like saying there's no bad golf swing.

I agree w/ _33, but only with proven shooters.  Proven meaning perimeter shooters that can consistently hit shots regardless of who's guarding them.  Reggie Miller's shot was horrendous, yet he was a prolific shooter.

It is easier to be more consistent if you use proper form.

I guess.  I still think I'm right for the most part.

A set shot (Clems and Dunn) is bad form, technically speaking.

Not really.

True. It's really encouraged it women's basketball.
Billy Walker's set shot from 3 was cash.

There's definitely a balance between consistency and mechanics. But the fact remains that there is a "best way" to shoot a basketball", mechanic-wise. Someone with bad mechanics can compensate with exceptional consistency, but they''ll never be as good as they could be if they had proper mechanics+consistency. Loft, spin, trajectory, etc. There's a reason that Hank Luisetti and Kenny Sailors are regarded as innovators. They found a "better way" to shoot a basketball.
