"Nash put 60 seconds on the clock and just tried to make as many free throws as he could," Miller said of Nash treating free-throw shooting almost like it was a Pop-A-Shot game at a sports bar.
Now three-to-four times a practice Ollie stops the action and sets guys up at foul lines. In one minute they need to hit at least 17 shots or they have to sprint the length of the court twice as punishment. "They don't like that a lot," Ollie said. Players can usually attempt about 23 or 24, depending on their speed.
