We have to bring it up. We still win against Indiana if we hit at the charity stripe! We missed 10 foul shots, hitting only 60 percent. I am not exaggerating when I say that a good middle school club team hits way better than that, and they (95 %) will never see a D1 court. Why no focus on improving here?

Yep…lack of focus? discipline? Fundamentals? Some or all. Frustrating
Perhaps they practice with the men.
Neither our men or women have ever in my memory been known to have FTs as a strong point. I know a lot of professionals have the same problem.
Just wondering......is there a technical reason why players don't use the granny shot any more? It can be extremely accurate, more so than what most players can do with the customary method. Does it mess up your normal FG shooting mechanics? Is it just to avoid ridicule? Didn't Jerry West shoot the granny FT?
Just seems to be if I was a player and I was hurting my team's chances to win because I could not be relied on to make a free throw, I would do something to change that regardless of what it took....more practice time or a different method of shooting.

My guess is the loss of "cool points" is a bridge too far. You are also right about the BU teams in general. I don't get it.
