ABSTRACT:
The practice and game free-throw performances of an NCAA Division I men's basketball team were studied over a two-year period. In practice, an average of 7.53 free-throws were shot each time a player went to the foul line. In games, free-throws were usually taken one at a time or in a two-shot sequence. Practice free-throw percentage for all free-throws was significantly higher than game free-throw percentage. Shooting percentage for the first two free-throws taken per practice grouping was significantly higher than subsequent practice free-throw performance. However, when performance on the first two free-throws in each practice grouping was compared to game performance, no significant difference was found. Using the principles of encoding specificity and practice variability, suggestions for structuring practice to improve game free-throw performance are discussed.
