Does anyone pay attention to their breathing when they make a shot?
I haven't seen this discussed at all since i have joined the site.
Thoughts please.

Chew gum while playing. If you're chewing, you're breathing regularly. Worked pretty good for Michael Jordan, among others.
Focusing on slowing down you breathing etc can help you relax in tense situations.
Have you ever heard about the Buteyko Method? It is not well recieved by the medical community here in the US because of some of the claims in its ability to cure diseases. The theory of Buteyko is that hyperventilating is the cause of many diseases and it is much more dangerous than we realize and doing the Buteyko breathing exercises will retrain your breathing to prevent hyperventilating.
I dont know about its ability to cure asthma or diabetes but I have heard good things about it strengthening the lungs and reducing anxiety levels especially in high pressure situations. I have never tried it though.
There is a free app with some of the exercises. I might try it just to see what it is about.
The following link talks about Buteyko for anxiety even though it doesnt discuss it in a sports related situation.

You mean to tell me that I can catch a disease from breathing real fast?
Well, then answer me this. After all the sex I've had, lo these many years, how come I'm not dead yet?
And, what about the time a guy at the pool hall pointed a gun at me and told me he was going to shoot out my headlamps? I shit my pants, but I didn't develop diabetes.
C'mon, Satori, you gotta do better than that.
I'm not real familiar with it's usefulness in fighting disease. If you can e-mail Magic Johnson he could probably tell you more.
All I know is Buteyko system + CTE + Clock system = on your way to becoming a world champion
Magic Johnson, contracted HIV from breathing too fast? Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather.
