Johnny Jones did not miss those FTs by SlowFlowPro
He recruited and coached the players who did. Any player can be a good free throw shooter. All he needs is a little bit of coaching on how to mentally discipline himself and do it. No good coach has teams that suck at free throw shooting. It takes about an hour or less of coaching time and then many hours of individual practice by the player. If a coach isn't smart enough or motivated enough to spare that hour or motivate a player to put in that practice, he loses by one point in the first game of the tournament because his uncoached, undisciplined team shot 1 for 7 from the FT line in the final minutes. That's Johnny Jones.

that is actually not true. some big men don't have the coordination, especially with their hands
FTs are on the individual, both in prep, growth, and execution.

FT shooting is ALWAYS on the player. There's no special coaching involved or necessary. It's all about desire and the willingness to take countless FTs on your own. You have to WANT to be a good FT shooter. Regardless of the opponent, the defense, etc., the look from the FT lines is always the same
