[QUOTE="lexwaldez, post: 1572759, member: 9817"] I didn't focus on everyone's free throw shooting but just look at Kofi's. He'll shoot short the first time. Next up he's long and bricks it on the back of the hoop. Maybe the next is left (legit miss) and then long again. I wonder if he's changing his target and his eyes focus on different parts of the rim for each shot. I mean, are we sure Kofi does not need eyeglasses? His shot doesn't look that bad. It's gotta be either focus or vision. We always taught to focus on the exact same part of the rim for each and every shot. Every shot is exactly the same. Dribble twice, breathe, look up, focus on point, put it up, follow through, repeat. Do that 1000 times every day for two weeks, and you should see some improvement. If you couldn't shoot over 80% from the line in games then you couldn't play (and everyone was tracked on a board - daily FT practice and in game stats). And you have to practice FT's AFTER practice. I think after practice and FT's, we ran wind sprints and suicides; when you were done with those coach picked one person to shoot two FT's and if they missed either shot then you started over with sprints and suicides. Make your FT's ladies. [/QUOTE]
