One of our departed and beloved members, Olde Coach, a world-class skiing instructor, wrote a treatise on FT shooting.  He was the resident expert.  He would have been thrilled that the 2015-16 team led the nation at exactly .800.  Unfortunately, we dropped to .779 last year, and 8 missed FTAs against Mississippi State cost us a likely national championship.

I agree about getting into a rhythm and building muscle memory.  It is very much like a golf pre-shot routine.  I'd rather see Lou have a short pause before her shot, but that's not the way she learned it. Both Crystal and Pheesa are shooting slightly under .700.  Maybe they should try a bounce or two.  ;)

In terms of good form, I always thought that Michael Jordan was very good.  Elena's form is strange, but she limits lower body motion and has phenomenal success.  Rick Barry's underhand approach was as good as it gets.  Norwalk's Calvin Murphy was outstanding too.  He was the Steph Curry of 40 years ago.  Murph shot .892 for his career, including .958 in a full season, and once made 78 in a row.
