Best ACC Home Court Advantage From 2001-2011

Scott Wood's struggles at the line made me think about this. Has anybody come across a study of home court advantage (or road court disadvantage) that includes FT shooting by players? That's the one constant from building to building from game to game. Every shot is from the same place on the court, but everything else changes.

Free throw shooting is how it's tested in basketball. A couple of years ago there was an article in Sports Illustrated called "The real reasons behind home field advantage"
Here is the best online link to read it:

Yeah, that's team FT shooting, not individual FT shooting. In order to use team FT shooting, there needs to be some evidence that the distribution of who shoots free throws is the same home and away. It probably is, but it got me thinking.
