I would challenge the team to make a permanent POSITIVE mark in the program’s history books. The way they could do that is to indivually commit to using this time to put in the work necessary to make next season the record-breaking all-time greatest for team free-throw percentage.
Assuming everyone has access to a basketball goal and a kind friend to help shag balls, this would be an entirely achievable goal.
And also if I were Kellie, I’d find some money in the budget to spring for 6-8 regulation basketballs apiece to be used to practice free throws. Free throw shooting practice can be dramatically improved by the shooter being able to shoot continuously, in a rhythm. If a friend or two, or family members, are willing to shag balls and, as a team, keep handing balls to the shooter so she never has to move from her spot, I guaranTEE there’d be improvement if they shoot enough. Obviously they’d need to study techniques — YouTube is full of excellent tutorials — to make sure their mechanics are good and then check off with the staff through video...
That would definitely be a doable challenge!
