ABSTRACT:
The practice and game free-throw characteristics of an NCAA Division I men's basketball team were studied over a one-year period. In practice, an average of 5.58 free-throws were shot each time a player went to the foul line. When pre-shot preparation times and shot distances in the first two free-throws in each practice grouping were compared to game free-throws, no significant differences were found. However, free-throws subsequent to the first two shots in a practice grouping were found to be preceded by significantly shorter preparation times, and were more accurate than both game free-throws and the first two shots of a practice grouping. The results are discussed with reference to Gray's Three Factor Arousal Theory, and implications for the structuring of free-throw practice.
