There should be mandatory free throw drills every practice. They are shooting 64 per cent on the season. They win today’s game going away if they had made a reasonable number. And we lose to a 3 and 11 team. UGH! And RW’s post game interview was somnolent., as was his demeanor throughout the game. The bar is lower now than last year, if that is possible. I am out!

Mandatory free throw drills huh? Novel idea. Good Lord. You honestly think they don't shoot thousands of free throws every week? They're bad but do you really think that D-1 teams just show up and play a game like they're at the Y? Has absolutely nothing to do with that! Zero! I could have you shoot a million free throws a day - maybe tweak a few things here and there - but if you are a bad free throw shooter, you won't make them in practice or in a game. This fan base is really as frustrating and clueless as the coaching staff.

So the Griffs just happened to recruit a bunch of guys who genetically can’t shoot free throws ? I agree with Griffer. Maybe a little coaching might help with drills. Mitchell is going to get fouled a lot, to his credit. But then he holds the ball with two hands high over head. Of course he has zero touch.

A little coaching with drills huh? And the dreaded two hands high over your head error that bad shooters consistently make. Have you ever attended a division 1 basketball practice? Do you think they just play a pick up game and head to the cafeteria? They have shooting drill after shooting drill and then most of them stick around and shoot more and more and more.

A bunch of guys? Dinkins shoots 84.4%, Siem 83.8%, Gadsden 84.8%, Palesse 72.2%. Last year Staveskie was 87.3%. It's two guys (Mitchell and Okpoh). Big men are notoriously bad free throw shooters. Do you watch much basketball other than an occasional Canisius game? Shaquille O'Neal was a 52.7% free throw shooter and received the best coaching on the planet. Wilt Chamberlain 51.1%, Bill Russell 56.1%, Dwight Howard 56.7%. Some of the best big men to ever play the game.
