"Free throws don't win basketball games. Vander Blue wins basketball games."
Seriously though... the BEST FT shooter and one of the top FT shooting teams in the country just lost after being up 6 pts. with under a minute left to a team that doesn't practice FTs.
Moral of Story: Don't waste practice time on the 1 pt. shots that *might* help you hold a lead... focus your time on how to get the 2 pt. shots that win the game.
Benny, I was just about to post how happy I was that we were back to practicing FT's - we just outshot the No. 1 team I'm the NCAA 79 per cent to 65 per cent. As good as that was, the boards were huge.
Cat came in makin' 112 of 119 and boned his first attempt.
Bad coaching.

John Wooden, Coach K, etc disagree. Personal choice, there is no right or wrong answer.

Is it your personal vendetta to be the single most annoying person on the planet or does it just come naturally?
