I would like to see someone (not here) do a statistical study on this. Until it is done this isn't obvious.

It really isn't all that hard to get a put back on an intentional missed basket. And with 5.9 seconds you might get more than one attempt

Bottom line time out discussion: "If Bowers gets the ball, foul him". We didn't even blink when he got the ball so I'm assuming that discussion never happened. And that's a shame.

The right thing to do would be to put a FT shooter on the line that will struggle to make that first free throw.

Next, and equally important, is to make them catch the ball going away from the basket and not in shooting range.

LSU managed to have a perfect case scenario play out, and they didn't take advantage of it. They got a very poor ft shooter, catching a pass near half court. A foul right there and we may be talking about LSU upsetting Kentucky today.
