1 and 1 Free Throw situation - NBL?
This is an obvious feature of NCAA College Basketball, that aims to reward those players who successfully make their initial free throw. After seven fouls with a non-shooting foul, the team is considered in the "bonus" and shoots one-on-one rather than inbounding the ball.
The team always shoots the first free throw but only shoots the second if the first attempt is successful.
Personally, I like the 1-and-1 free throw idea, as it basically rewards players who can make their free throws; And I like the belief that it is based upon --"If you can't make your first, you don't deserve to shoot the second". It also helps players focus on free throws more, something which im sure coaches appreciate.
Anyway, the reason i made this thread was because I wanted to know your guys thoughts on whether the 1-and-1 free throw rule would be effective/beneficial in the NBL?
