Abstract: Quality tools that are vital to process management can be used in almost every field of activity, including sports. A player's performance in a basketball game is subject to variation that must be controlled and reduced. An example focusing on basketball free throws shows how statistical analysis and root cause analysis can be used to identify and control variation.
