I'd like to push for a new rule that makes free throws optional.  If a player is fouled, the team can choose to take the ball, and inbounds it along the area where the foul occurred rather than have to shoot free throws.  It'd stop this inane fouling at the game's end.

Of course, OUR PROBLEM was missing them when they were FREE POINTS!!   Angry

If we would it our FT's people would stop fouling us. That is the coach's problem. Make them shoot FT's till they do it in their sleep. These are college players. RTR!

Shooting FREE throws is an outdated part of basketball.  I grew up playing basketball as a kid, and even in pickup games we shot free throws when fouled.  But as a teenager when we played black kids, we played by their rules of simply taking the ball inbounds when fouled.  You called your own fouls.  They never shot FTs, and never practiced it.  That was about 1965.  When I got to Tuscaloosa we played pickup games nightly in the old gyms by the same rules (no FTs).  Only during intramural games with a ref were FTs shot.  Never since then have I played in a game of pickup bb where foul shooting was used.  Today the rules have remained; no foul shooting in pickup games.  So kids don't grow up shooting them, except sometimes in deciding teams (shoot and hit, team A; miss and team B), so they seldom practice FTs.

As a result kids don't practice FTs until they get into organized bb.  It's an antiquated part of the game.  Time to end that practice, except when/if a team chooses to shoot them.   Angry

I don't think there's any team in NCAA basketball that soaks up a lot of the allowed weekly practice time shooting a bunch of free throws.   Remember, there is a 20 hour total limit of mandatory activity (practice, meetings, workouts, etc).  It necessitates it being outside individual responsibility.

We were a middle of the road FT shooting team (72%) going into that game.   It was more about choking than lack of practice.  It was a first time experience for all of those guys.

The more I see reasons why we don't practice FT's shows me if we had hit 80 to 85% of the FREE SHOTS, we might have won the game in the 2nd half. Am I wrong? RTR!
