This will probably lose us a few games this year. More than a few if it doesn't

I’d be more worried if I thought Demin would continue to go 28 % for the year

Yea I think they’ll eventually settle down and get to the 70s. Keba should

Maybe should play Bosco at 5 at the end of games. Keba can't shoot and Fous is

Need to progress to the mean there, no doubt

For those in the know, why is this? Is it just not a point of emphasis in practice? Seems like something that is pretty

Playing basketball myself, free throws are more of a mental thing in my

Attention control under pressure. We need lessons from Mr. Ferrin.

Yep. But I'll add: a ton of practice helps the mental game. My junior year in HS

I'd add that in addition to the mental aspect is pure muscle memory.

Ball didn't go in the hoop

There is no way an NBA coach is spending precious practice time on free throws.

ninja math

I get that. But also, isn't that something that players just have to go practice on their own?

durandal

2:39pm

It very much is. With a private shooting coach if necessary.

Once we get that fixed, we'll be even more dominant!

Check the baskets

Basketballs are barely half the inside diameter of the hoop

UCR shot 82.6% against us from the line. They seemed to handle it pretty well.

Chemish

There’s no way that will last all season, but that’s terrible

I'll bet Saunders, Demin and Catchings end up among our best in FT%

StoneyCurtis

Fouss was pretty good last year

Lifer

12:43pm

Yes, that's true - sample size here is too small.

StoneyCurtis

12:49pm

Well that low of a % will costs them several games this season.

So are you saying missing the one free point to get a rebound and get 2 more is

Crowd Factor

It's actually worse, missed the front end of 1 and 1 multiple times against UCR

NYC and Japan

Seems like something that will definitely course correct when the sample grows

Ghost Pirate LeChuck

We should hope so. But these are also probably the least stressful free throws

Definitely a problem. Tough to fix.

Making otherwise good games, close.

Plantagenet

Halls 60% will help lift it when he returns 😂

Magneto

2:09pm

Every guard--which takes refined skills--should shoot at least 75%.

Plantagenet

RE: Halls 60% will help lift it when he returns 😂

durandal

2:35pm

So we should just step back ten fet and get 1.5 pts per FT

We can't be amazing at everything

OldFogey

Unacceptable. Failure to fix will cost BYU games.

Didn't something similar happen during the first of the season last year.
