If this abomination continues they are going to lose a couple of games this year because they can't hit them.

GG is gonna be fine with FT’s once he stops moving backwards. I think he’s likely putting extra time into becoming better on D - which he needs to do - and it might be affecting that part of his game.GG came in with the reputation of being one of the best HS shooters in the country. He can barely hit a foul shot. Most players just don't improve their shooting under Pike. It generally gets worse.
You don't get better by simply putting in practice time at the charity stripe. You get better by practicing with an expert eye watching you and giving you feedback every few minutes.If this abomination continues they are going to lose a couple of games this year because they can't hit them.

It’s inconceivable to me that a guy with as good a reputation as a shooter could be this bad at the line. I cannot think of another example of any Rutgers player, any division one player or any NBA playerGG You s gonna be fine with FT’s once he stops moving backwards.

It shouldn't. That being said I think he'll eventually be alright.GG You s gonna be fine with FT’s once he stops moving backwards. I think he’s likely putting extra time into becoming better on D - which he needs to do - and it might be affecting that part of his game.
Yeah I doubt that.It’s inconceivable to me that a guy with as good a reputation as a shooter could be this bad at the line. I cannot think of another example of any Rutgers player, any division one player or any NBA player
Well…..when you think about it, RU FT shooting has been downhill ever since that incidence. Just sayin’.Bring back naked FT shooting
Exactly…each of them should have a set routine in place that helps them become automatic when they get to the line without overthinkingSimpson should be in charge of the clinic. His shots are perfect, nothing but net.
There is zero arc on his free throw shooting. He's a true brick layer.Gavin has good form. I still think he rushes his foul shots.
Right now JMike is a bigger problem if you want the ball in his hands. His foul shooting has been atrocious.
I think (hope) that Gavin is all about confidence and feeling comfortable here. As someone else said I bet his FT% in HS was great. That being said other than Derek Simpson (6-6) yesterday every single player was 50% or below - without Simpson we were 7-20 in FTs - crazy and unacceptable!Gavin should be an 80% ft shooter. He needs to develop a routine to use every ft and to not rush it.
Right - I said this in another thread discussing JMike. He pushes the ball and shoots line drives on his FTs. Arc on his ball would do wonders.There is zero arc on his free throw shooting. He's a true brick layer.
After the game, we are #340If this abomination continues they are going to lose a couple of games this year because they can't hit them.

So many guys in all sports practice doing things the wrong way.You don't get better by simply putting in practice time at the charity stripe. You get better by practicing with an expert eye watching you and giving you feedback every few minutes.
Given the poor foul shooting, I would conclude either players are practicing foul shooting with no feedback or the feedback is too poor to be useful.
Pikell always says we hit them in practice same thing as 3’sSo many guys in all sports practice doing things the wrong way.
Will Pike ever say we suck in public? NOPE. Based on game observations he is not telling the truthPikell always says we hit them in practice same thing as 3’s
Yikes, didn't think it would drop that low and that's with Simpson shooting 6-6 yesterday,After the game, we are #340
Chicken and egg scenario.I think (hope) that Gavin is all about confidence and feeling comfortable here. As someone else said I bet his FT% in HS was great. That being said other than Derek Simpson (6-6) yesterday every single player was 50% or below - without Simpson we were 7-20 in FTs - crazy and unacceptable!
That's definitely one way - but I also think if he starts playing well on the floor and finds the consistency he's been lacking his FTs are sure to follow.Chicken and egg scenario.
The only thing that allows you to be comfortable and confident is making them in games.
Got our worst foul shooters to transfer outThat didn't work.
Well duh. You really want him to bad mouth his sucky free throw shooters to the press. I don't think that would go well.Will Pike ever say we suck in public? NOPE. Based on game observations he is not telling the truth
