There is some seriously BAD advice in 5L, which may be the cause of your problem, namely the feel of throwing the basketball toward the target. It's OK as long as the pivot alone does the throwing, but most do it with an independent arm/hand effort.

Any effort of the arms/hands towards the target is steering, which causes all sorts of problems, especially lag loss.
