Good luck with the final few feet! They are always the hardest to get but the most rewarding.+1 to TB_Rays.
My DD ( no athletic background whatsover) started with 12 ft when she started preparation last year. With practice, technique, improving fitness she is close to 37 ft now. 5-7 ft more ft to go and meet her goal..
If you are athletic and otherwise strong, throwing the basketball from your knees is 98% technique and practice. If you are not athletic and not very strong, you need to work on gaining strength and athleticism and then work on your BB throw technique.
As a 2019 Grad, I just implore that it would greatly behoove you to strive far above the standard for the basketball throw. Usually only the top 10% throw scores are seriously considered for admission, and you will be categorized into different companies in beast by your throw. Lower scorers receive smaller food portions, and are often expected to iron the uniforms of higher scorers. During my time as a CC, I practiced the basketball throw religiously and careered a ball everywhere I went in school. All successful USMA cadets have a similar story, and those with scores under 80’ have an ABYSMAL graduation rate, due to their weak physical form and lack of commitment.

Why 2nd LT Barry M banned? Did he share that was not something to be shared or mid-representation of info?
