Free Throw Shooting

I agree! It has to do with WHO is shooting the freethrows.

But I never made a claim about what building it was in. I don't even know what that means.

What about the visitors?

They were 3-6 on the "good" rim and 4-12 at the other end of the floor.

Again........if you can make freethrows, nothing else should matter! We happen to have some players that don't make freethrows on a regular basis. That is what I saw!

Ok....I thought the visitors really made good shots on the "bad" rim that rattled around. I think those numbers show that a bit.

I agree, on a whole, that if you shoot absolutely perfect and the ball does not contact the rim, the ball will go in regardless of how tight the rim is. It just seemed to me, on that day, that the endzone by the student section was rather tight.

I think a lot of it has to do with how much the kids practiced FT's in High School and AAU. I know a lot of defense isn't played on the AAU circuit, so a lot of it is kids wanting to be flashy without worrying about getting fouled and shooting FT's. They can get better at FT's if they want to but most players are more worried about the rest of their game. A good coach can get them on the right path.
