I think it is something like 3 point shooting - you can either do it or you
can't.

If FT's could be taught; 

1. There would be camps for it and they'd get big bucks for attending.
2. Wilt Chamberlain would have learned and he would have been the complete
player.

All I know is that we've had good FT shooters and bad ones, every college
teams to be so blessed.

Why can't BC teach free throw shooting?
