It has lost at least three maybe four games for us.

What exactly is the solution?

Gotta drive a coach crazy
 
Im amazed there could be 80 middle school teams worse, let alone D1 teams.
 
The problem seems to be that our "good" FT shooters completely choke it down the stretch. That is 2-3 games that Crawford and Mitoglou misses down the stretch have cost us. And is there a worse end of game FT shooter than Hudson? I bet he shoots 80% plus in the first half of games and maybe 10% at best in the last 5 minutes of games. We know that Thomas is going to be around 50%l it is what he has done for 4 years. So that is a good reason to make sure that he isn't handling the ball down the stretch. Instead, he ends up on line more than anyone else down the stretch.
 
Aren't coaches paid to teach basketball fundamentals? Do they not work with these kids on basic shooting form? We have one of the better shooters in WF history on staff and he can't work with these guys on making simple free throws?
