Or they even put that ball up when they stole the ball instead of taking it out and wasting clock

In the end it was what everybody had said would haunt Memphis...FT's. If they had just made 1 more they win. For a change, everybody was right.

I just said something along the lines of this to a buddy of mine. FT shooting haunted them all year, and Calapari had ample opportunity to make some adjustments to that facet of his team. He didn't, and they still sucked at it. Cost them a net-cutting. If Scav didn't just lose some ducets on it, I'd say it's laughable. Tough, tough beat bro...Hell of a future bet thought, nice ride for sure.

Please explain how you do that so I can make a ton of money adjusting Shaq and Ben Wallace

I would have stuck these kids in the gym until they found something out about their shot that they didnt know before. I know it's something that you are either good at or not, but, it's an art. I'm sure they could have polished a few of them up on it. When I was younger, my dad's friend taught me to keep my shooting elbow lined up with the basket. Somthing that I didnt know before that. 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.

They were shooting about 75% up until the last minute of the game. I think they were something like 12-16 or something like that. They just choked when it mattered. On the other hand, KU was 14 for 15 93% for the game.

Neglected to look at it that way, but, your right. Legs buckle and arms dont fully extend when the game is on the line... I'm sure that they couldnt have fit a greased beebe in his mudslinger at the end there, it was so clenched..There's a reason that M Jordan wanted the ball every time in when teh game was on the line, he had ice in his veins...Kid has alley-gator blood (said in my best teddy KGB voice)
