Uh - what kind of coach are you? Make those frickers MAKE free throws.
Extra running seems punitive. Extra free throws (that they have to make) seems corrective.
But, you do you, baw.

I said that they only have to run if they miss

I hope one of those kids tells you Shaq is a hall of famer and couldn’t make a foul shot to save his life.

Maybe practice should be structured to shoot free throws while exhausted to prepare them for game situations?
If you are set on punishing them, then have then run a couple suicides, then make then line up in single file at the free throw line and each shoot once. If <60% make it, then they are done running.

Why not have them practice shooting feee throws? How is running suicides going to improve free throw shooting?

Maybe they have no motivation to play well for a piece of shite coach?

Shut up, bitch. Those kids would probably beat your arse.

Dude we are talking jr high here. Your not coaching college or pros nor does it sound like you should be. Lighten up scrimmage and send them to the line during the scrimmage. They are there to have fun learn and get better not have some Bobby Knight ruin the game for them.

I got you. How about make them shoot MORE free throws until they make them?

A suicide per miss is just dumb and unneeded. I’ve coached HS basketball for over 10 years. Generally every year my teams finish between 62-70% from the stripe and that’s very good in HS basketball. My better shooters tend to finish above 70%. We shoot FTs between drills and game plan install every day. Finish practice with everybody shooting 2 and running a sprint per miss. If you need some basic fundamentals on proper FT technique just say the word and I’ll beak it down for you. I’m the first one to tell you that you need to stay on the kids and be hard on them but you also have to be their biggest fan as well. If they do something right tell them and give them positive feedback.

I would take a shite and wipe my arse and take the toilet paper and shove it in their face. At least that’s what Bobby Knight did and because he’s a white male strongman people on this board love him

Me too. I want to fight this Jr high "coach" bastard right now.

I treat them the same way you do it sounds like. I'm pretty level headed with kids just wanted to vent on here

Make the little bastards run, it isn't going to kill them.
All your downvoters and the its-just-a-gamers : games are important, doing things correctly (making free throws) is important, winning is important.
Losing to an opponent because they did what they were supposed to do and you did also is fine. They were better than you. It happens.
Losing because you didn't do what you're supposed to do isn't fine. Running a few laps at that age serves as a good reminder of this.

We used to shoot free throws at the end of practice everyday. This was 7th/8th grade. If memory serves, every player on the team had to make x amount of free throws. I don't remember how many. The entire team ran half court suicides for the misses.
The worst punishment I recall collectively getting in that age group was having to come in on a Saturday morning and run a fricking gagillion laps around the gym for something we failed to do correctly in a game, I can't remember what. It was the most consecutive running I've ever done in my life and I remember everyone was fricking dying. My lungs were literally in pain.
It was hands down the hardest basketball season and practices I'd ever had in my life. Coach was a real hardass son of a bitch. But our super undersized team ending up outrunning and out executing everyone else and we won the championship that year.

Eta: if they miss a free throw in practice I think I'm gonna make them run a suicide for every miss.
For clarification for those who dont want to read the thread. We already practice free throws every day with music at the end of practice. You think I havent tried covering all these bases already?
Dude, you absolutely make them run. I would dedicate an entire practice to practicing foul shots/ suicides. And they will make more foul shots
