dump the free throw

[BigCat]

5 on 4 works in hockey because its rare as Bryan said and, more importantly IMO, there is a goalie in front of a net that sits on the ice. And they play on ICE. Scoring is still hard. 5 on 4 in basketball wouldn't be the same as hockey. Wide open easy shot whenever u wanted in basketball. If you don't like FTs I'd say just do it like summer ball, after so many, give them a point and move on.

Frankly, as you have said, FTs have been part of the game forever. They have stood the test of time. I'm not saying this to be mean to you but I care more about the game and the players who play it than I do you or any other fan. FTs are basketball. Fundamental. If Shaq could make FTs we wouldn't have hack a SHaq. To be a 90 plus percent free throw shooter takes effort. A lot of it. It isn't easy. I know the player who does it shoots 500 a day at least. I respect that. Not exciting but I know what it takes to be really good at it.
