It helped me immensly, and eventually changed the way that I shot the ball.
Calipari had to know that Kansas was going to "hack a shaq" if it came down to the nitty gritty. I guess he thought the athleticism that his team possesses would sweep his most obvious glaring problem beneath the rug...I'd throw them in the gym and tell them to make 15 out of 20 ft's each or they don't eat.. Something along the lines....
You think that they couldn't have gotten better using repetition and some sage advice? Bring Mark Price in to teach some of these kids...Kidding of course...

Remember that Free throws are as much mental as anything. You can shoot a million in practice but with the game on the line it is a different story. When your 1st team all american shooting guard and the number 2 pick in the upcoming draft point guard miss FT's in the last 20 seconds it is really hard to blame the coach.
