No More Sacremento Kings

Posted by Barry

Once an original NBA franchise as the Rochester Royals, the Kings are moving again. In Rochester, Seton Hall grad Bob Davies became a HOFer, In Cincinnati, the Royals were home to Jerry Lucas and “The Big O” , Oscar Robertson. Then they were the Kansas City Kings,  Kansas City-Omaha Kings w/ Tiny Archibald and finally Sacremento Kings. Decent contending teams albiet Chris Webber’s disappearing act late in games. Now what, the Anaheim Disney Wonders? Any thoughts?

NCAA Finalists Determined by Foul Shooting

Posted by Barry

Butler and Uconn are playing for the National Championship tomorrow based on foul shooting. Butler beat VCU 70-62 as the Bulldogs shot 20-26 for 77% as Matt Howard led way w/ 11-12, more than entire VCU team. VCU shot 8-13 or 61% in loss.(12 Pts less in 6pt. loss). UConn was 9-11 from the line in 1 pt victory as Kentucky went a horrific 4-12. Any coaches or players out there underestimate foul shooting or the reason for The Foul Shot Doc?

15 Games in NCAA’s Decided by 4 pts. or less

Posted by Barry

It get curiouser and curiouser. Amazing all the close games. So many have been decided in the last couple of minutes on the foul line. If you look closely, most are decided by either number of foul shots taken, % of foul shots made or clutch foul shots. For example, if the Pitt player makes his 2nd foul shot, his teammate wouldn’t have fouled…game over. It’s really foolish to underestimate  the importance of foul shooting.

6 Games in Tournament Decided by 2 pts or less

Posted by Barry

Players and Coaches: You don’t think foul shooting is that important? The first round is not even done yet and 6 games have been decided by 2 or less points. Just ask NOVA what the others what they think. What do you think?

Chat w/ Confidence Coach re: Dwight Howard

Posted by Barry

Steve Tarde: Dwight writes to me. Steve, I know you are a Confidence Coach, but hey, I am Superman. Could use some help with free throws. Why can’t I make those shitty shots? I don’t have a clue.

Foul Shot Doc Tell Dwight Howard to ask Jameer Nelson about me. Although he thinks I’m nuts ( I have some different teaching techniques), Jameer improved from 68% to 78% and 31% to 43% in 3 pt shooting(8th in NBA) after I worked w/ him. Jameer recommended Trevor Ariza who improved from 47% on the line to 70% after I made three trips to Orlando. I’m here for the asking

Steve Tarde: I have heard Jameer talk about you, That’s why I plugged you. If I get picked up be a lady’s team to be their confidence coach, I might ask that they bring you in as well.

Foul Shot Doc What did Jameer say?

Foul Shot Doc I guarantee I could make Howard a better foul shot shooter. He doesn’t have to pay me.

Melo to The Knicks

Posted by Barry

Carmelo Anthony finally got traded to the Knicks. Athough the Knick gave some talent and potential talent, they got more star power and can always get role players to fill in. “D” and rebounding may be an issue this yr. Billups as a throw in is an absolute steal. Great leadership in running offense and of course Mr. Big Shot. Shout out to my main Left Coast man, Greg Newell. Gotta love him since it seems we agree on everything all the time. Greg is Pete’s son. For the younger folks who never heard of Pete Newell, google him. Amazing impact on the basketball you are watching today. What do you think of the trade?
