So last night in D2 Phelan an oddity may have transpired.

Final Four

I made zero FT’s and combined we made 4.

Anyone ever had or seen a team get 0 FTM?

The D2 Phelan tourney is truly the 2020 of tournaments.

It truly is

Luckily the Rockhurst players aren't as handsy as their coach.

I’ve never seen FTs quite that low in a game, but I can contribute a frustrating oddity from the foul line. In Rupp conference play (thankfully against mostly bad teams so far) my team is shooting:

FG: 58%
3PT: 55%
FT: 52%

That’s wild! What’s the teams overall FT grade?

Team is a “C” overall with only 1 of my top 7 at C- (none below). This morning’s 4-15 FT game didn’t help. I guess I should start considering the FT rating during recruiting now.

It’s so tough to recruit with that in mind.

I thought I was done with this topic, but I just lost a game in OT in another world where I went 12-27 from the foul line, including a chance to win with 3 seconds left in regulation (yes, he was a D+ but I would think he can do better than 2-7 for the game).

So I’ll ask, does anyone factor free throw ability into recruiting? I’m seriously tempted to consider this last week of failure.

It isn’t a primary consideration, but it is quite often something like a tiebreaker, especially if he’s going to be a principle scoring option at some point. The difference between D+ and B+ could be a point per game or more for some types of players, so it isn’t meaningless.
