One thing I haven't seen happen, or addressed, is Free Throw Ranking. I have a few guys on my team, who were admittedly Ds or D+s, C-s or C+s last year in Free Throw Ranking, I've put a lot of practice minutes into Free Throw Shooting this season, my guys this season are shooting in the 80%s, some have gone from the 50s to almost the 70s, and I'm not asking, or expect them to move immediately up to Bs or B+s, but their rankings haven't moved at all this season and one has actually gotten worse, way worse.

Is this normal, or is this another glitch that hasn't been addressed, and needs to be addressed?

I'm surprised that this has been posted for a little over a day now and after 48 people looking at it, no one has bothered to comment on it, one way or the other. Whether it be good, bad, or indifferent.

I've never noticed a big/that much of a positive swing in FT ratings EVER...basically what you recruit is what you get from what I've seen. Why they are letter grades and not numbers is beyond me...

I went from second to last in FT shooting last year, to #1 in FT shooting this year. I got pretty average ft shooting, but aside from 1 guy everyone is shooting almost over 70%. I think its just random luck. The guy who was the #1 FT shooting team last season is middle of the pac this year, and he returned a good chunk of his team. Another guy is near the bottom, and he should be top 3.

Also a team that has 2 A's, 1 B, 1 B- and the rest C's or worse is shooting 80%. A team that looks similar to that is shooting 64%

This has been discussed several tmes.

If someone has a FT rating of, say, 73, well the first time they shoot below 73%, nothing but complaints.

And how are their FT attempts distributed?

In the old days, FT shooting increased dramatically. It wasn't unusual for several teams to hit 80-85% for the year. They FT shooting was dramatically slowed down....you should've seen the uproar from the coaches!

Now it's back up again, too much in my opinion.

Ahh, the good old days. I had a team a Bryant that hit nearly 89% for the season. The worst FT shooter who saw significant time that seasons was a backup SG, who was an A-.
