...and the search carries on.Basketball truism...Rebounds and Free Throws win games!!!
From my understanding, the NCAA mandates how many hours a team can practice together, so i doubt much time is being spent in practices shooting free throws. I think is something guys need to be working on during their own time. I don’t know this for sure, but just speculating. I do know that Christian Vital used to spend a lot of extra time and late nights practicing shooting.Are free throws traditionally worked on in practice? Or are players expected to devote extra time outside of regular practice to practice shooting free throws?

Many teams devote the last part of practice to FT shooting, which gives some players a chance to catch their breath before shooting. This is a mistake in my view, unless they are right after a round of killers. Their bodies should continually be simulating game conditions (i.e. faster heartrates and breathing). Players can't assume they are getting a TV Timeout to find their legs before they go to the stripe.From my understanding, the NCAA mandates how many hours a team can practice together, so i doubt much time is being spent in practices shooting free throws.
