slufanskip Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 He also owns the NCAA record breaking Valley Park's Gary Buchanon's record. I have been told they had the same shooting coach in HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I would definitely hire Harrelstemhern as an assistant in some capacity, once extensive due diligence has been performed, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I don't know, Box. I'd wait for Obi Dixon. Obese Dixonokor will forgo a salary in favor of an unlimited meal plan at Gries. I say that hire's a no-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyJumpUp Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hire Ahearn as the Bills FT coach. His shooting coach frequents Billikens home games.....maybe they could get him to come in for a few practices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 It's NOT an NBA record! I'm looking for the post where someone says it is. The article did say it beat the NBA record. I don't understand the f/t thing. It's ridiculous. I had a 5th grade girl hit 28 of 32 last week. As a team our 5th and 6th grade A teams make about 40%. With 20 minutes a day per player I could raise the team average over 5% in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I legitimately don't get it. -nor do i -at the open practices i attended there was a lot of work on ft's and running on misses (that made me a better ft shooter in high school, fwiw) -i would think this is one area where the experience of the staff would come in handy, i guess i know nothing (a sgt shultz moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm looking for the post where someone says it is. The article did say it beat the NBA record. I wasn't aiming at a poster, but at the article's title (in the link, which says, "Blake Ahearn broke the NBA's consecutive free-throw record"). I'm just saying -- he wasn't playing NBA games, so it's neither an NBA record nor breaks an NBA record. (I also have a problem with "World" Series being a "world championship" and the Super Bowl winner being "world champions.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 free throw or any shooting improvement realistically wont happen during the season. there just isnt enough time for the needed repetition to fix mechanical errors. in all likelihood, those 25 attempts at the end of practice with one sprint for every miss is probably only making things worse as each player is reinforcing mechanical errors rather than fixing anything. improvement has to happen in the summer when they can shoot 1000 shots a day. i would be surprised if at anytime this year we become a good free throw shooting team. we will have good nights, but overall it will be mediocre is my guess. and btw, i love the picket fence.
