Not sure why the staff is not able to spend a bit of time individually and take his free throw shooting apart and fix it. Just watching him, there is no consistent approach and method through the entire free throw. No 2 attempts look the same. Changing his method mid season can't make it any worse.
You are correct, the basketball staff has never worked on FT's, every poor FT shooter in the world is the product of poor coaching, because FT's are obviously easy! Which is why the national average has never been 70% or above.
https://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/04/sports/basketball/04fr...Thanks for the article. What was your point in posting? To point out the quote “A lot of coaches don’t want to spend time on it in practice,” said Blake Ahearn “They want to work on defenses and offenses and schemes.” or to highlight "Coaches admit to baselines of acceptability for their players and teams. When numbers slip, time is devoted to improvement. When they rebound, the game’s other facets take precedence." Maybe you thought that since 70 per cent is the norm we should not be concerned or question if there has been some individual attention to the individual that is critical to this particular team at this point in the season.
Asking the question is not indicting anyone, it was a simple question connected to the observation that looking and rewinding his free throws shows no consistency from one to the next. His 3 following his 3 pt attempt showed that all 3 were released and followed through differently. Just an observation that makes one wonder. If you have the answer to what the coaches have done that would suffice.
It was interesting to see former MAC coach Hunsaker quoted in there. He was quoted back in the 90s when we played them about his free throw methodology, something I always remembered about his teams. His 2 sons seem to have learned it as they are have shot free throws well at Brown and UV as have a few of Coach's UVU players. Thanks for the article. it is informative though it does raise a few questions
