NCAA approves rules change that will not allow coach to pick his free-throw shooter when one of his players is too injured to shoot free throws. Now (according to AP, and this sounds fishy) the opposing coach gets the choose from the four remaining players on the court.
Hurray! That was a bad rule that needed to be fixed.

This still doesn't prevent my idea of Burke and James never shooting free throws, but it is better than the previous rule.
Glad they waited until after Novak graduated for this one. I remember TC taking advantage of that at least once.
At least something positive came out of that miserable day.

Good thing Burke and James will never shoot another free throw for MU! ;)
