In an era that featured the traditional two-handed set shot, Luisetti developed the running one-handed shot, an early version of the jump shot. Equipped with such an offensive weapon, Luisetti became one of the most dominant players in American college basketball history. While at Stanford, he joined Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity."
