CLK - The "Problem", to my eyes at least, with our guys and free throws is largely mechanical. Some of our better players will just not be good free throw shooters ( 75% or higher ) due to their technique. I'm guessing the coaches will not covert BJ, DS, EE ( to a lesser degree ), AM, RP, JW or DT to 75% shooters from the line. Heck, I'd settle for 70%. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: CLK 's message, "Tghanks for the report VBC. Not much competition but still 12 points, 10 assists and 9 steals. is an impressive start forTJ. What the heck is the problem with are guys from the FT line? Hopefully our coaches will get this fixed." on Sunday, October 31, 09:31:19am

I believe Joel Wright was a 71% FT shooter prior to coming here. EE was 80%. It is a big part mechanics, some part psychological. (NT) -- TMH, Sunday, October 31, 10:40:30am

  - Not to belabor the point but ... By all accounts the players practice free throws constantly. Whether they are practicing with proper fundamentals - I'm not sure. The in game results are what they are. Maybe this year, BJ and DS, in particular, will improve enough to pick up more of of those "Gift Points" from the line to materially improve the W-L record.

We would heve won 20 games last year if we would have been just an average FT shooting team as opposed to one of the worst. (NT) -- CLK, Sunday, October 31, 01:46:17pm
