Good news is that FT% is on the rise. Three teams shot over 80% this year, the most of any year since 97-98 (when I started looking).
I went back to the 97-98 season and this is the average FT% of all D1 teams by year:
97-98 - 67.45%
98-99 - 67.78%
99-00 - 68.12%
00-01 - 68.52%
01-02 - 68.97%
02-03 - 69.39%
03-04 - 68.77%
04-05 - 68.64%
05-06 - 69.20%
06-07 - 69.02%
07-08 - 69.05%
08-09 - 68.81%
09-10 - 68.81%
10-11 - 69.20%
11-12 - 69.05%
12-13 - 69.29%
13-14 - 69.85%
14-15 - 69.25%
15-16 - 69.89%
16-17 - 70.36%
17-18 - 71.37%
ETA: yes, I'm a little bored this morning
ETA2: updated back to 97-98 which is as far back as this source goes LINK

This is a perception issue.
Historical studies have shown a dirty little secret about FT%-- its essentially historically flat, varying by about 2% over the last 6 decades. You'll have good ones, you'll have bad ones, but what changes is the volumes of FTA, not the success of the shooters.
