Free-throw ideas

  • Validate all wins with a free throw, a player from the winning team must make a free throw or his team runs as if they lost (Vance Walberg)
  • Each winner must go 2 for 2 (or 3 for 4) or he runs (Ian MacKinnon)
  • Every player must make 5 free throws in a row after practice before leaving (Rick Pitino - 8 for posts, 12 for perimeter players)
  • Make 25 free throws before and after practice, post a list, players write down how many attempts it took (Mike Dunlap)
  • No talking, coaches included (Hubie Brown)
  • Start and end practice with 5 minutes of free throws, shoot when fresh and when tired
  • Shoot free throws for 12-15 minutes in the middle of practice to simulate halftime, stress the energy and quality of play directly after (Dick Bennett)
  • In between drills, break into pairs at each basket, each player shoots 3 to make at least 2 (Kevin Pigott)
  • The team is on the baseline, down 75-70, each player comes out to shoot one free throw, a make is +1, a miss is -2 (Don Meyer, Bubba free throws)
  • Pairs ladder each day, 20 free throws each,
    • the winner at the top basket stays for next practice, the loser rotates to the first [bottom] basket, all other winners move up one basket (Brad Soderberg),
    • or winners move up one basket (stay at the top), losers move down one basket (stay at the bottom).
