[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 947321, member: 282"] The overall average is 68%. Most free throws would be taken by regular players, so that should skew the percentage to them (hard to foul a guy who isn’t on the floor). 60% is as far below average as 76% is above it. [URL='https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/north-carolina/men/2023.html']Here’s UNC’s stats for the year[/URL]. I’d scroll down to “Totals”. The good shooters have the ball in their hands more often, so they take most of the free throws. As a team, they’re at 74%, which is above average. Back to the idea that FT% isn’t highly correlated with winning—if you’re already shooting well, your overall shooting percentage is probably more highly correlated with winning. It’s smarter to spend more time on shooting from anywhere in game situations than on the charity stripe. Good shooting should translate to free throws, but free throws might not translate to overall shooting [/QUOTE]
