We always ended practice with each player shooting 2 free throws. We ran a suicide for every miss.

And no, it’s not unacceptable. But will punishing them for missing free throws correct or motivate them to not miss them?

Maybe practice should be structured to shoot free throws while exhausted to prepare them for game situations?

Restructure your practice so that you end with conditioning and then free throw practice. Make it to where each kid has to make 3 free throws in a row, then they can leave. Then as the season goes on you bump that number on an individual level, depending on the kid's skill level.

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.
