How old is Eddie now, 100?

Randy Livingston might be able to coach these guys up.

Palubinskas took a position as shooting coach to Shaquille O'Neal with the Los Angeles Lakers for the entire 2000-01 NBA season. O'Neal's improved free throw shooting helped lead the Lakers to the 2001 NBA Championship. He went from 38.3% to 69.4% with Palubinskas' tutelage. Other professional basketball players Ed has worked with are the following: Brandon Bass with Boston Celtics who is now the all time leading FT shooter in Celtic franchise History. Lauren Jackson with Seattle Storm who won the MVP of the WNBA a couple times. She improved her FT % to 90+% and won the title in 2010. Dwight Howard with the Orlando Magic. During the NBA lockout in 2011 Dwight hired Ed as his shooting coach. In just 7 days Dwight improved from 59% to 92% while being monitored by local TV sports analysts in Orlando. After Howard was traded to the Lakers he did not retain Ed's services and his percentage dropped to below 50% unfortunately.

There is a limit to how many coaches you can have on staff. There is no such thing as a free throw coach. This typical. Simplified solutions. Everyone on the message boards has the answers....NOT!!!

this is nothing more than coaching IMO. There is no reason to be poor at FTs.

finish every practice with free throws: you cant hit the locker room until you nail 3 in a row.

Then make it 4. Then 5.

Whole fricking team will be 90+% by the end if the season.

How about he just make everyone stay in the gym and make 100 free throws a day if they want to play.

No, but you can. It's called Google.

They could hire him as an outside consultant. He wouldn't be an official coach on the sidelines or an employee of LSU.

If only it was that simple. No team in basketball shoots over 80%. About half shoots less than 70%. Free throws, and shooting in general, has declined over the years. The solution seems to be elusive for many teams.

Free throw shooting is largely mental ... and this team has shown that they are lacking in that area at the most inopportune times.

We shoot about 70% from the line. It really isn't bad generally.

The problems are not technical. They are mental. Quarterman simply was not focused. It's not like we have a bunch of Shaq's on the line.
