He's not wrong, now most shooting coaches teach the Curry style of shooting over the Allen style.

Debatable which is better all things considered as where Curry's shot sacrifices the high release point it has the advantage of being a quicker release with arguably less motion to mess up.  I'd argue Allen's form is better if you are getting a lot of shots off of off-ball screens (which isn't common anymore in the NBA, while Curry's is better off the dribble.  Catch and shoot is up in the air because really mechanics are less important than consistency and touch.

Jackson's shot at UConn was bad mechanically but it also was inconsistent in how it was bad.  His mechanics are better now, if marginally but he is still inconsistent in how he shoots.  The big positive I saw is that his looks more connected to his lower body now and his elbow is marginally better.  His release point is still off and inconsistent, as are the fingers that control the shot.
