Which is WHY MilfordHusky described Azzi’s steal, subsequent layup and made free throw!This is an Azzi thread.
On that FT. Azzi is currently shooting 100% from the foul line this year, having made all 17 of her FT’s. I checked to see if anyone had shot and made all of their free throws in a season, setting a minimum of at least 50 taken. While a few MBB players have accomplished that feat, no woman has ever done so. EDD hit 58/59 in a season. But perfection has never been achieved.Today, she got a steal, dribbled behind her back, drove the length of the floor, and made a layup while getting fouled. Of course, she made the free throw.
About that behind the back dribble, I was struck by it too. Tons of kids can do that casually. But to use it effectively in game conditions with a defender in your face is decidedly different. And controlling the ball tightly on the other side is not easy.Today, she got a steal, dribbled behind her back, drove the length of the floor, and made a layup while getting fouled. Of course, she made the free throw.
