When teaching the correct mechanics for overhand throwing, at the "break" (or "ready" or "load") position, should the throwing hand be facing away from the target (aka "picking something off the shelf behind you"), or up/toward the target (aka "picking an apple from a tree").
Also, do we all agree that the glove hand should be pointed at the target? I've seen some discussions stating only the glove shoulder needs to be pointed at the target, and one comment stating the glove should NOT be pointed at the target, but with no reason stated.
