I feel this is a whole lot of the problem. When you watch the ladies, most seem to more or less "nonchalantly" flip up the shot. I like to see a shooter take time to breath, aim and carefully fire up the shot. They seem to do this more "when the chips are down" late in games. It would be interesting to see side by side videos of the ladies taking shots early and late in games. (especially close games)

Your video idea is too good to have not been tried by someone, somewhere.

Since the days when establishing a free throw routine was considered the key to success at the line, we've learned a lot about the intricate workings of the human brain. But nothing I've read/heard in recent neuroscience or cognitive psychology seems to contradict that as still the best approach.

What's being touted in current coaching seminars? Is "loosey-goosey / keep it fun / avoid stress" the approach now, rather than mastering the stress by automating the mechanics? I've no position on this, but it certainly would reflect the zeitgeist.

I mean they shoot 59% for the season, so yeah that's a pretty good bet. It's not like tonight was just a fluke off night. You would have hoped the problem would have improved at least some heading into conference season, but here we are... :rolleyes:

Saw a lot of players with the wrong form to be successful at the line. Until their form is corrected they will continue to be bad free throw shooters. The ones I saw with excellent form were Striplin, and somewhat of a surprise Saunders. Really bad form Dye and Wynn.

Chatt. has to be one of the worst teams I have seen line up against the TN Lady Vols since I have been following them in the early 80's.

I’m not sure how pointing that this a team isn’t good at FTs is “being a drama queen”.

It isn't. Obviously we need to improve on FT's to reach our potential. There's really no excuse for any DI team to be this poor at it. And pointing that out on this forum isn't a problem with me at all.

But never seeing the positive of being ranked 7th in the country, or acknowledging that the glass is mostly full at 11-1, despite a couple negatives, is my beef with that poster. All of his negativity is designed to get at Kellie, whom he disrespects with an obsession. He attacks any weakness, perceived or real relentlessly (free throws, hammering Darby, etc), no matter if he publicly ridicules a player in the process, as avenues of attack on her. And, yes, drama queen is accurate for that poster.

For those of you who were worried about this game tonight, you shouldn't have been. Our Mocs women's team has fallen very far from the days where we actually beat the Lady Vols a couple of times, including Holly's first game as a head coach. The Mocs are terrible, plain and simple. I am both a Mocs and Vols/Lady Vols fan - all sports including women's basketball - (hence the VN nickname) and I am very happy that Kellie is doing well as head coach. I must say I had my doubts even though she was on the staff at UTC for a while.

Looking forward to the bowl game this Thursday and hope to be there if I can find some good seats at a reasonable price!

Go Mocs! Go Vols! Go Lady Vols!

That's actually incredible. How the hell has a player TWELVE games into the season, who started every game and averages 20 minutes, not gone to the free throw line once???

One take:
No more of a mystery than Wynn getting to the line a lot in her relatively few minutes. One player is slasher and driver and the other is a spot up shooter who plays on the perimeter.

But, I guess some might project that Darby's lack of FT attempts is yet another irrefutable sign that Kellie is not up to the job, if only Jeff Walz (shakes fist at sky)...... right?

No Lady Vol history

So speaking of facts, did you bother to look at shooting percentages 12 games into every season because that is the only apples to apples comparison. Somehow I doubt you did. I also doubt you looked at full year percentages. I’d guess just shooting from the hip.

It's pretty tough research to find out what every team was shooting after 12 games. But here is a link for every team at seasons end.

Year By Year Season Stats (PDF) - University of Tennessee Athletics

Teams that finished worse at shooting than this team after 12 games?

2015-16 was the only team shooting a lower percentage FG's and 3 PT FG's than this years team so far.

Interesting stat. The 1988-89 team took only 26 TOTAL three pointers. It was the second season of three point shooting. A different time back then.

Do you believe that the stats will improve playing against the tough SEC teams?
