Pretty cool seeing all the regulars telling the fair weather vol fans to get lost in the 2nd team thread.

Where were ANY of those guys before this year? Not this forum.

I can’t trust anyone with a 2nd team. Suffering through Pearl’s show cause, Cuonzo’s departure and then Tyndall’s show cause makes the current state of our program even more rewarding.

I would have posted this in the above mentioned thread but I’m trying to turn that one into the Regular Porn Thread of the Basketball Forum.

Anybody else question the use of the heavy balls to shoot free throws? It was said during the GT game that KA used a heavy balls(during practice) to shoot free throws and that CRB was one of the last coaches to use it.

Is it possible the heavy ball is part of the issue with the missed free throws?

I think it’s about data and science. If the data backs it up, you gotta go with it, even if it seems counterintuitive.

Idk what the data is though. I’m sure RB does.

I hear ya, just trying to imagine shooting a heavier ball during practice and transferring that to a game. Seems like the miss would be long, which GW was all night.

I’d assume it’s about form. Maybe it forces you to be more mindful of your form.

That was the announcers reasoning behind it. Said you have no choice but to use proper form. I’m just saying it could have an early impact in getting used to it with game time energy.

I agree, I don’t completely understand the reasoning behind using it for free throws. I practiced with a weighted ball growing up and it was great for improving off-hand ball handling and passing but had never heard of anyone using one to get shots up.

It definitely has it’s advantages with consistency and form, but it should be an early practice tool. Imo

But heck, KA has been money at the line so far, and he was the one they said was using the heavy ball.

I’ll definitely take our starting five against Kansas’s starting 5. Hopefully we see them next Thursday.

Agree, without Vick last night they lose by double digits to Louisiana. If we keep him from going hamm I definitely like our chances in that game.
