Worst free throw attempt ever

I like the tag

Whatever you are imagining, this is worse.

He was right.
 
Clearly, he was shooting into an 80 mph wind.
 
LOL that was great. I saw it on the men's board. Not sure if it slipped out of his hand or not, but how could you not laugh, even if you were the player who attempted it?!!

Not quite so funny, but many years ago there was a game on National TV where Purdue and its star Rick Mount were playing. He had the reputation of being the best pure shooter in college ball at the time. He took a jumper from about the top of the key that went over the backboard clean as a whistle.

Didn't he shoot all his free throws as jump shots...?

Don't remember. Only saw him on tv a few times in the prehistoric days before tv supersaturation. Now Hal Greer I remember jump shooting foul shots.

A bit like one of Matthew Stafford's pass attempts last night against Green Bay!
 
Coach probably told him to put more arc on the shot. Right?
 
Only thing worse might be hitting yourself in the chin while shooting a free throw.
 
I never had a shot that missed that bad, but I had foul shot attempts that were as embarrassing. I had a very late growth spurt and as a freshman I was the third smallest in my grade, including all the girls. I would fervently pray each game that I would not get fouled, for my foul shot amounted to standing by the back of the key, rushing up to the foul line, and heaving the ball at the basket. Adolescence can be a trying time.

Swin Cash can relate to shooting at the wrong basket! Still one of the funniest moments in UConn basketball history!

Yea, I guess you can say he didn't hurt anybody. :rolleyes:
 
On Swin's shot: I remember that an embarrassed Cash told CD The Elder that she hoped her family back in Pittsburg wouldn't see it.
CD said something to the effect 'are you kidding? It will be on ESPN over and over.'

Then there's Brian Meeker, the Olympian who has a word named after him. Meekered, as in, "He meekered the phone pole."

I blame the socks.

He's lucky he didn't break some ribs. Ouch.

In watching that video I'm reminded of what a fine announcer Bob Picozzi is. I do think there's a shelf life to being an announcer, some may expire sooner than others, and Picozzi's had expired for UConn wcbb (so, too, would some unnamed others).

Yet he has a good voice for the job, a quick wit and is knowledgeable. I've always enjoyed listening to him do other games besides UConn, and for the first 5 years or so I loved him doing UConn. Some things just get old (read contrived and chatty) but he has a natural gift for what he does.

Anyone that's returned kickoffs has done this several times a game...
