clearly he has some pathological fear of the free throw line, and this explains it.

there are weird mental blocks in sports, like catchers that can't throw back to the pitcher, or chuck knoblauch suddenly not being able to make routine throws to first base.



not every buzzerbeater team is like the NBA, there are so many more players in buzzerbeater than the NBA you are going to see crazy things like this, but rather than insist that everything look "average" try to look at it with some creative glasses and humor, it will make the game much more enjoyable. Or from an analytical point of view, it seems to me that even a small amount of FT training would improve things dramatically for this player, and if you are doing a proper good cost/benefit analysis, you will train him, make more FTs, win more games, etc... which is i think the point of being skilled at the game.

There's not enough incentive to train it currently. No manager in their right mind is going to spend half a season getting his players FT from average to prominent and seeing their FT% go from 60% to 67% when they could get their players OD increased to sensational from proficient/prominent or JS increased to prolific from strong.


i would say the increase would be higher, and don't forget if you do it with this players all 10-13 players in your rooster will laarn it to if you now have one or two really bad shooters it works in my mind. And you don't need to manage your minutes in this week which is also an advantage of this training, which could use to rescue a crappy weak.

But if you make the effect smaller, and the starting values higher - don't you thing this training becomes really usefull?

Of course, if you have crappy stamina, those numbers can dip significantly, but this is definitely not a problem with free throw shooting.


Doesn't experience also have an impact, for end of quarter and end-of-game situations?
