Nevada, I agree with bradfordwilkins on the differences between when the act of shooting begins from amature to pro levels too. IMO the timing of whistle is whats most important as the difference is only a second. We tend to pop too soon & interupt the game. I'm sure we've all had the play where there is contact on the drive & the player goes right thru it & scores with ease. Now we're giving cheap and1s or worse, interupting the game to administer do overs.

I wouldn't say I'm applying pro principles at the amature level, just the pro mindset as basketball is basketball.

I'm not saying drives equal FTs each & every time, I'll put em OOB when the play dictates. But I'm always looking for a reason to reward the player with FTs. It's been working for me.

For the record, I posted here as CH1town previously, changed my email addy & my account locked up.
