Hi,
My name is Barry Wolfson, also known as the Foul Shot Doc.
It’s New Year’s Day 2008 and I’ve decided that’s it is a good day to start a blog to share my thoughts re: foul shooting. I figured if NBA star Gilbert Arenas, Agent Zero, can do it, why not me.
It’s my hope to share my thoughts and adventures regarding the world of basketball with you. I hope you will enjoy it. Feel free to email me at barry@foulshotdoc.com with comments or feedback.
With the summer 1/2 gone, NOW is the time for all hoopsters, whether NBA pros or youth to be working on your game. Having worked w/ NBA All-Star Jameer Nelson and Trevor Ariza to improve their shooting, The Foul Shot Doc looks forward to helping you get better. Feel free to get in touch. 877-959-9400 or barrry@foulshotdoc.com
Let the games begin. Feel free to give your opinions to questions below. Who will end up where? Who will be LeBron’s prom date? Are you a little tired of LeBron yet?Which teams are now playoff contenders?
I will be a guest today on voiceamerica.com on Ray Ellis’ sports talk show. I will be on w/ several pro athletes to discuss pressures of Game 7 for the Lakers/Celtics. Feel free to listen and give feedback.
f you are Doc Rivers do you bench your star pt. guard at the end of game 7 vs. Lakers. Shooting 25% in the finals is piitiful. A free throw shot can make or break a team…and win or lose a game. Even the best players can be poor foul shooters. But can you as a player, coach, or agent afford that? When it comes down to the line, is your player a liability?
If your player is shooting 75% or less, it’s just not enough. At the end of the game, if your player is on the bench instead of on the court, it’s time for a change. It’s time to see the doctor…The Foul Shot Doc.
So.. who’s gonna show up tonight? For LA, will Kobe try to do it himself? Will LA use the triangle and/or work it down low to Bynum and Gasol? Will Bynum get more than 1 rebound? Will Artest be Jekyll or Hyde or both? For Celts, will Ray Allen shoot blanks or set records? Will Celts bench outplay LA in LA? Will Rondo and/or Perkins miss clutch free throws? I would love to see Game 7.

Ever wonder why “Bigs” can’t shoot foul shots? It’s simple. Since they were little or should I say young kids they were always told to stay near the basket by their coaches, me included, to get rebounds. There were other average sized players to dribble the ball and shoot from the outside. Consequently, they were told NEVER to shoot from the outside and all their shots were a few feet from the hoop.
When they were fouled, all of a sudden they were forced to shoot from 15 feet away, where they rarely practiced from with all eyes on them.
It is hardly a surprise that they were not successful
Celtics Rajon Rondo’s foul shooting is getting worse and worse in playoffs. 1st rd. 83%, 2nd rd. 65%, conference finals 57% and at halftime in game 4, shooting 4 for 15 under 30%. Lakers should foul him any time he is near the basket.
