That's on the players. The coaches are only allowed X # of hours a week and need to spend that time working on offense/defense/game plans. FT shooting is just about the easiest thing in basketball to do. Its all repetition from the exact same spot on every single court in the world. To lose a 2nd game to Houston in a week because of the same pitiful FT shooting is inexcusable. But they get what they deserve sitting at home again this March.

Not on the coaches ? SMH

Let's assume that you took the time to think this one out the best you could, using your special brand of logic, and that this post is a perfect example quality of all of your posts, and call it a day. I would suggest self reflection, but you would have to be able to look up what it means, and even if you did, it would be too complicated for you.

HUH ? FT shooting is on the coaches---everything is on the coaches----the coaches job is to correct/fix/improve the weaknesses ---the buck stops with the coach.

I typed in plain english but you can't seem to keep up. Again, are Roy Williams, Bill Self, Coach K, Izzo, Underwood **** at teaching free throws? Kentucky was #2 in the entire country in free throw percentage last year. Is Cal a great free throw teacher?

DUKE
2019 - 236
2021 - 233
2018 - 192

2017 - 26
2011 - 29
2013 - 49

Is Coach K is **** at coaching free throws? Did he forget? Are the coaches at Oral Roberts, Lafayette, Detroit Mercy and Eastern Michigan much better free throw coaches than Coach K? Simple questions, see if you can answer them.

North Carolina
2014 - 344
2021 - 291
2020 - 266

2016 - 38
2019 - 56

Does Roy Williams alternate between being the worst free throw coach, to one of the best, to one of the worst every few seasons?

Let's see what you come up with. Simple questions, simple answers. English if you feel up to it.

Everyone harps on turnovers, but it’s the free throws that have cost us this season.

For weeks I defended Penny when people were saying he was too dumb to install an offense

For weeks I defended Penny when people were saying he needs more experience .

I will say it AGAIN---NOBODY knows more about the game of BB than PENNY HARDAWAY

I am a Penny fan BECAUSE I am a TIGER fan---I want him to win every game

GOT IT NOW ?

My drives and chip shots are much better on the range while warming up for the actual golf game. Then when play starts I seem to end up in the woods and bunkers and water more often. I wonder why ???

Penny has said for weeks that they practice FTs at the end of EVERY practice.
It's inexplicable, really.
I get it with Malcolm and Cisse. They just don't have much outside game.
Boogie? That's all mental.
Too late now. Let's celebrate the good. The offense turned around. And - man - what D!

We finished the season playing at the level of a Sweet 16 team at least. With Lomax, we win one of the Houston games, are in the tournament and maybe make it that far this year.

The first half of the season is 90% on the players. The coaching staff couldn't reach the players until Williams came on board. The coaching staff was on everyone to stop being so selfish, but Williams is the one everyone eventually listened to.

Yeah, you could see Boogie was just thinking way too hard. He seemed so frustrated when his FT's weren't dropping. After one he looked over to the bench and just seemed so defeated. If you watch the best FT shooters they literally get the ball and shoot it. All about muscle memory and keeping your head out of it as much as possible. Much easier said then done BTW...just take a look at my scorecard from the course this weekend...

Any skill takes more work than what goes on in practice. They can shoot them at the end of every practice, in fact they should, no matter what. That's not the work that's going to make them better. It's hours of work outside of practice that will make them better. Same goes for shooting, dribbling, footwork, etc.

Shooting as a whole does. It amazes me that Boogie was 5-8 from 3, yet 2-10 from the line. Makes no sense.

You left off the e.......and you know that isn't true-----you know I am the Penny defender ---was a Penny fan when he was @ treadwell--thrilled when he became a MEMPHIS STATE TIGER---a fan when he was in the NBA even though that was the beginning stages of it becoming the FIXED FAKE RASSLIN LEAGUE---I am still a Penny fan because he is coach of our TIGERS-----I will always be a fan of Penny as long he is our coach----and I hope he wins every game.

I knew he could install an offense when people were saying that he couldn't----and NO coach knows more about the game of BB than Mr. Hardaway.
