I asked Self about FT shooting once. He said FT shooting is mental and it would be a waste of time to devote any team time to it.

Our players must have been lobotomized at some point in their lives then

It’s an odd phenomenon, but analysts, journalists, and coaches appear to be programmed to bash fundamentals. That’s another subject deserving of its own article, but criticizing modern free-throw shooting has always been a dubious exercise within that realm. After all, that’s one fundamental we can measure, and free-throw percentage has essentially been constant for the last 50 years.
But my perception is that most people in the game feel like free-throw shooting was better way back when. And if people can’t get that right, one should be skeptical when other fundamentals are criticized. Are players really worse at setting screens, or scoring with their off hand than they were 30 years ago? I think it’s reasonable to wonder whether we’ve been lied to all along about those things as well.

I think its normal for people to think "it was better back in the day" and most of the time they are wrong.
I watched nearly the entire Midwest Regional Final from 1988 last night, that basketball was no better than what we see now. And it was pretty physical back then as well.

i will certainly have this stat in my back pocket any time someone tries to throw out the "fundamentals" or "it used to be better" talking points
