It is my theory that this has been such a squeaky wheel issue for so long that sooner or later something will give. The Powers That Be just haven't told us if they're thinking about doing anything different about this issue. I sometimes see the forum as a sort of public petition, and when I see a whole lot of griping about the same things over and over again, a change tends to get made. We have so much more time to spend extra time griping about 5th/8th place this season now that the one of our old favorite complaint topics, the draft, has been addressed. From what I can tell, other issues also get addressed when they they consistently get a ton of Forum chatter (day trading, market inflation, etc.). Maybe the right solution hasn't been hit upon yet, or maybe it's secretly in the works, who knows. I have faith.
But in the meantime, the wise will figure out that Free Throw training can net a team an average a few points per game if not neglected, and that could mean the difference between winning an losing a couple of times each season. Embrace Free Throw training!
Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!
