Can I Buy A Free Throw

Free throws are anything but free.

They cost you the player time, work, and
concentration.

And they can also be very expensive.

They can flat out cost you games. Let that
happen often enough, and it can cost your
coach their job.

I'm just not confident too many kids today
think free throws are all that important.
Not you because I know you want to be a
better shooter, but in general.

And coaches if your players don't get it
on their own I believe it's up to you to
stress free throw shooting and shooting,
period. It's you who could pay the
bigger price.

Here's a tip from Coach Duane Silver.
He's noticed many players who miss free
throws tend to FALL BACK toward the
half court line after releasing the ball.
Sometimes these shots go in, but there
is no earthly reason you should be shooting
a fade away shot from the charity stripe.

Nobody is guarding you.

His solution is to make hiswwwwwwwww players line up
and shoot free throws and purposely fall
a little bit forward after the release. Then
he can get them feeling the spot in
between where they are going straight up
and feeling balanced.

Try that for yourself.

Free throws are anything but free, so don't
let yourself be caught where you can't buy
a free throw.
