I mean unless the ball hits the side of the frame or something.
And then there is the mental dimension and how that plays havoc with your muscles. If you think you are going to miss you do. If you think you'll make the shot, you likely will.
What I learned to do in coaching was not to let myself get pinned down by that question and have literally said to many players--if anyone can look at one miss and tell exactly what went wrong on that one ball, they are lying.
So I think it's a question of swing shapes--including what the whole body is doing--staying as close to good technique as possible, and understanding the mental dimension. The truth is the player is only one really in a position to say for sure why he missed...

Sure start a thread!
When you look at a lot of clips you may see trends or tendencies with certain players on certain balls that may contribute to a percentage of misses over time. But again to look at one ball that is two inches out and say "that is the reason" is tough.
Nick Saviano always said errors could be technical, tactical, mental or movement related.
I think that if the player looks good on a range of balls without obviously flaws in numerous repetitions, that's about as far as a coach can take him or her.
The only other step is to try to get the player to communicate what may go thru his mind on misses in terms of negative or distracting thoughts.
