that's how it works at all levels so thanks for your post. The NCAA only gives the coaches x amount of hours a week of court time. Free throw shooting is something that a coach can work with a player on the side, but the repetition is on the player to work on outside of practice. In the off season while on campus it is up to the seniors/captains to make sure everyone is putting in time on the court, in the weight room, film room and so on.

You can see that Pierce is working on his shooting form and changed it to shoot from a lower angle. I'm sure he's been working on this for a while. Loewe is stiff as a board at the line and looks like he has no confidence that anything will go in. He's 1-10 this season. Teams are going to know that and foul him.

Luke will probably get a few more chances, but like Gustys from the past, you end up on the bench at the end if you can't make fts. Teams won't stop fouling him in big spots until he converts with regularity. Owens has also struggled at the line, not sure about Scott.
