[QUOTE="dbeverly26, post: 1965136, member: 515868"] What really makes shooting free throws difficult in game situations is going from having your brain in a quick reaction mode to a calm focus mode with your heart rate north of 160. You can drill the mechanical stuff all day in practice but it’s almost impossible to simulate the rest of it. Free throw shooting performance has marginally improved over the years but given how much higher the skill level in the game has gotten it’s stayed remarkably consistent for a long time. It’s just the nature of the task. [/QUOTE]
