A. If you think college basketball players shooting FT's

is at all analogous to military pilots landing jets on a carrier, there's really no point in discussing this. B. I'm not saying you can't improve at something by working at it. I'm just saying that one bad stretch at a bad time doesn't call for reactionary measures. Again, variation happens. Things that happen at x% don't happen exactly at x% for every sample. That recent 3-game stretch where we shot FT's really well, do you think our FT practice was better a few weeks ago? Then we got complacent and shirked our FT duties? Really? And I'm also saying that dedicating the kind of time to FT shooting that might actually improve things significantly would be counterproductive midseason when there are more important things to work on like preparing for the next opponent. Time is a limited and valuable resource. C. It's an opinion. It's never going to be right or wrong. Some will agree, some won't. D. As for the personal stuff, you'll have to enjoy that on your own. Happy to discuss topics. Digging at the people posting about them is useless.

Not sure what happened w/ the 1-8 @ line, but I love we played 10 to win.

It says 1 of 8, it was really 1 of 11. There were 3 free throws we didn't

People need to get over the FT's

You are %100 correct.To say we need to practice free throws just feasible.

I agree to a point, but missing FTs last night almost lost the game…

Ridiculous, if you aren’t doing something well you work at it, drills are

A dig at what you wrote, not at you. There's a difference. 🤷‍♂️**
