Not sure if this has been razed but maybe Webber should consider

having the team line up and shoot free throws at the beginning and end of practice.  When I played high school hoops back in the early ninties the team would all stand in a line and we would take turns shooting a free throw.  I'm guessing that each player would get at least 8-9 shots each practice.  This could really reap some big gains in the FG % department come march madness time.  Does anyone have coach Webbers email address I may send him an email and suggest this.

Thoughts? 

(before anyone gives me any grief, I'd guess we shot well over 60% from the line in high school which was a huge improvement for us because early in the year we shot poorly but that was because we weren't lining up an shooting so many free throws every game.

Coach also may want to make it fun and have them play a few games of knock out from the free throw line.  Sometimes with kids you have to trick them into practicing hard and a fun game like knock out (aka lightning) can be the ticket.

Perhaps...  However, I think we'd all be doing our alma mater a HUGE dis-service if somebody didn't at least email oscar with such a great idea/coaching tip.

shooting FTs at the beginning of practice does absolutely no good. anyone can make a couple from the charity stripe (some basketball slang right there) with fresh legs.

THIS is why I'm a gE premium member...  Fantastic display of such HFTSIQ.

what the players need to do is do the same routine every time before they shoot the free throw. this will help to establish muscle memory and increase ft %.

They had a thread a few years back about free throw shooting and I think the consensus reached was that the players needed to bend at the knees a little more during the shooting process.

The FT practice process needs to involve fatigue and pressure.

A) Have the players shoot when tired; after running a particular difficult drill or a long scrimmage session.

B) Create REAL pressure on the shot; ie. "if you miss this FT Thomas, you will lose 1/5 of your scholarship money."

BOOM. We'd be the best FT shooting team in the league.

I am so frustrated with the free-throw shooting. I just don't understand how young men that have been playing the game of basketball for most of their lives can continually miss a damn free-throw. eff practicing scenarios for free-throws, just rough ridin' make them for crying out loud. They have probably shot thousands in there life it's not like it's something new.

A free throw is not difficult. It just isn't.

I don't think you understand how freaking tired they are when they're shooting these things.

Agreed.  Maybe after running a "suicide" (which is a drill where you start on the base line and then you run to the free throw line and then back to the base line and then to the half court line and then back to the base line and then to the other free throw line and then back to the base line and then full court and then back to the base line.)

Do we think Kevin from the home alone documentary series could set us up some sort of mannequin pulley system that could imitate crowd movement?

i've always wondered if kstate could get some engineering class at kstate to study bramlage and all of the fans on the ceiling and then rig them in some kind of way that would force the ball towards the inside of the hoop on the kstate offense side of the court.

But pressure is important too.

"Will, if you miss more than 2 of 10, Gip will punch you in the face."

"Jack, if you miss the front end of this one, you won't be able to go home for Christmas."

Stuff life that.

rick you've had some bad ideas in the past (starting a restaurant called surprises where the menu changes every single day is just one of those bad ideas that im thinking of right now) but this is by far the worst one.
