Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 4180296, member: 504"] You think that practicing foul shots a million times will make every one Bill Sharman? If that were so, everyone would be Bill Sharman including Wilt who got fouled as much as anyone and totally sucked at the line. You think these guys don’t do tons of foul shooting drills in practice and on their own? Who besides Donyell would you have had at the line in that Florida NCAA game and that wasn’t even a 1 and 1 and I’ll betcha if you watch a tape of that he wasn’t off by more than an inch. Guys miss foul shots. If they didn’t they would just put the points up. Obviously you try to get the ball into the hands of your best foul shooters in close end game situations. But it can’t always work that way because there is that sticky little problem of another team on the floor trying to prevent it the same way our team tries to do. And even the “right” guy doesn’t make 100%. [/QUOTE]
