I'm with you on that motivation for training FT's, but to really get to the point where no one is a FT liability I think you'd have to train them up past Tremendous. I'll get there some day, but it'll take a while since I don't train FT more than once per season.

To me, that's just a lot of wasted training which could be put to better use and I believe that's why you started this thread in the first place.

Once a player gets over 70% he's not a FT liability. Anyone trained to respectable (7) will shoot better than 70% given a large enough sample size. Heck I've got a guy at proficent (9) and he's shooting 89% this season. Not sure why you would want to train players up to a 13 for what would amount to a handful more FT's made by your entire team over an entire season.

If I was able to pop my average FT% from 75 to 80, that would basically average out to one more point per game, roughly projecting I shoot 20 FT's per contest. Very few of my games are decided by one point. Knowing that it would take a whole lot of training to get my team shooting 80% from the line, and that those same weeks would be much better spent training primary and secondary skills on my trainees, I believe I'm landing squarely on the side of the fence where I'm only going to train FT if my training minutes are seriously messed up in a week and I don't want to train stamina up any higher.

Looking at my team's FT%'s again, my three lowest FT shooters have ratings of Strong, Strong, and Prolific, whereas my three best FT shooters have ratings of Proficient, Proficient, and Prolific. That's a gap of about 25 percentage points with nearly the same ratings. Interesting.

I just found a guy on the TL who is 0 for 581 in his career on FT:

So, the answer to the question "How bad is atrocious?" can certainly be answered definitively.

Atrocious has sublevels though so atrocious can give you everywhere from 0-15% or something like that.


I guess we have found the 0% sublevel with that guy then. :P

I understand its to make people spend time training free throws but ive never understood stats like that . 0for 581 , im pretty sure a baby in a pram would score at least one if given a basketball and allowed to flail away nearly 600 times.

The logical solution would be for JS and JR training to also cross train FT's. It's pretty ridiculous to begin with, even funnier when you see that same player shooting decent % on 3-pointers.

Or the even more logical solution - train FT. Easily one of the simplest problems for anyone to fix and the only reason these odd players exist who can shoot well from 3 but can't hit FT is because they have been trained in a completely unrealistic way.
