My youngest son's team does it as well. For free throws his coach usually breaks them into four teams (they practice with the B team) and has team winners and then individual finals where the top 4 compete for a small prize (squeeze bottle, team T-shirt, etc.). It's typically done right after suicides so they are winded. The boys are really into it and it does a good job of recreating the pressure of game situations. They do similar things on other drills as well but the highlight is always the free throw competition.

Congratulations, Gavin, on a great HS career!

Yeah Borna, saw that one too! Fun stuff and looks like Gavin is an affable fellow which is good to see...

The dunk highlight actually came from the all-star game where Gavin also hit 3, 3 pointers in a row. Take a watch here: http://www.channel1450.com/Gold-Team-Gets-Bragging-Rights...

Saw this article about the top 20 players in Illinois...

[quote]20. Gavin Block, 6-5, WF, Lincoln
He never received his due for all he does as a player –– and the career he had. A jack-of-all-trades wing, the ultra-skilled Block can handle the ball, pass and shoot the three. Plus, he’s a stuff-the-stat-sheet player who does many things well to help a team win. This Ohio recruit, who lacks ideal athleticism, has a terrific basketball I.Q. and helped lead Lincoln to a state runner-up finish in 3A as a junior.[/OUTER_QUOTE]

Only other MAC player listed was Naviagto of Toledo (by way of Buffalo) in the "Outside the Top 20 …" section.
