Reminds me of the coach I had in Jr. High, the one responsible for making me hate basketball for the rest of my life.

Do you spend time shooting free throws every day in practice? Maybe you should look at how much time you spend doing it or how you coach them. I would not run them. It is your responsibility to get them ready in all facets of the game. If there is a shortfall (other than athleticism) then that is on you. How does running fix their shot?
Fix the problem...it is your problem too. Running them says "it's your fault" to the kids on something for which the lion's share of the blame is yours. Be a man and take responsibility for the problem. Then do your job and fix it. Run them for stupid mistakes that they have been coached and coached not to make.

How do you not make fricking free throws pieces of shite

I would strongly recommend doing that and getting a BELT too just to make sure they know you mean business.

Do you think they wish they would have made more free throws? I think punishment is better left to instances where people intentionally do something wrong (i.e. missing practice, being disruptive, etc.). Your job is to figure out how to make them better free throw shooters, and not to simply take out your frustrations on them.
Maybe you need to allocate more practice time to free throws. If they do well in practice, but not in games, maybe you should include something in practice to teach them to tune out distractions while shooting.

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?

What about their shooting mechanics?

Have them shoot free throws at the beginning
Scrimmage as if it’s a real game,
You can also get a radio or something else to simulate crowd noise if that is the issue
There’s a lot of areas you need to address besides running. You save that for when they foul another kid on purpose

They shoot good in practice even with music playing. Idk what else to do since we shoot every day. They arent pieves of shite I was just frustrated but I do feel like they need to understand the urgency and care in getting down your free throws.

since you shoot free throws i practice and they miss in-game time its obviously mental
so make em shoot in practice while you frick their mom under the goal
they learn to concentrate on the shot

They're young. Things like free throws and throwing a hitch in football are a repetition thing. Quality mechanics will shorten the number of repetitions needed for mastery but, even so, it is asking alot for a 12-14 year old to have mastery of a repetition skill. Athleticism can mark a lack of repetitions but for most kids that isn't the case. Also, you can expect a regression of the skill in a game setting. At least until they figure out that the skill is used the same way in a game as it is in practice...that is an experience issue.
What I am saying is this: reps, technique, and time will eventually smooth out the problem. Be patient.

Simple, you have to hit 8/10 before you leave practice. Our coach did that and we won District from 93-04

Are you really a coach?
Posted on 11/30/18 at 9:50 pm to Hawgnsincebirth55
You trying to be Bobby Knight or something? You shouldn't accept losing but there are other ways to motivate them then what you are proposing

Christ have mercy man. They’re kids, 11-12 year olds. Relax.

At that age, most of them could probably use some more work on their form that would benefit more than running
