I’m too lazy to look but  what was the FT% when the last loser was here.?

[jchem1995]

I agree, simple FT shooting improvements year in year out BG is still our guy. But no…

What’s boggling, to me, FT shooting and tackling in football are just the basics you develop from the beginning. Not figure it out in college.

The interview was set up, but I printed my resume on 20lb instead of 24lb paper.

Gregory prioritized athletes over shooters because of his defense first DNA.  That's one of the main reason we suffered at FT% and 3pt %

In club basketball there is no beginning to (or even a thought of) FT shooting.  Even in most high schools.  Many HS coaches tell players they are to work on FTs on their own time.  These days you're very likely to get fundamentally unsound players.  You do have to coach... and you can make an impact.
