Bracey Wright

that is who I was thinking but wasn't positive. What a crazy idea

Bracey Wright.... Dwight Howard also did this in the NBA and his percentages went up... I can't remember if Wright's percentages increased or even if this was a change or if he always shot from an extra step back?

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,723]

yeah, stepping back a foot is very silly.  Its all muscle memory for a good shooter.  TOE the free throw line and shoot GOBS of FT's.  There you have it.  Bracey was just too cool though.  Grabbed some extra attention.

I don't know if I've ever seen a D-I player shoot a free-throw granny-style before.  Check out hte link for the video of Chicanu Onuaku (Louisville) firing a few off Hickory-style.

Edit...I hope that link works.  It's on the right-side of ESPNs page.  ESPNs video sharing capabilities suck.  Apparently they want the clicks to their site.  Maybe it's on their twitter account. 

Somewhere Rick Barry is weeping tears of joy.

Bracey Wright shot like that from day 1. Former pro Nick Van Excel used to stand almost at the back of the arc to shoot his free throws. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9BZneIqUlQ

Couldn't get a video of him making it.

Of Van Exel or Bracey?

Van Exel was a career 79% free throw shooter.

Bracey was a 77% free throw shooter at IU

Oh I know they were good shooters, just found it amusing the video was of him missing.

I've been watching the Indian Hills CC site in Iowa and former player Emmitt Holt is playing well for that top juco program.  He has scored 8 points, 13 points, 14 points, and most recently 12 points and 8 rebounds against our local Vincennes Trailblazers. They pounded Vincennes which has a good program as well. Their only loss was to another top ranked and unbeaten juco team on a last second shot. It looks like a lot of players get playing time and Holt is the 2nd leading scorer.  Their top scorer just signed with Baylor. I am glad he is playing well and am disappointed by his actions because I think he would have been tough for us the next few years.

 I agree rebel. I was very exited to watch Holts contributions to the team this season.He really showed a natural instinct on the court.

I don't think he's a bad kid,just made some really bad decisions.I wish him well.

@JonRothstein: BREAKING: NC State's Mark Gottfried has received a five-year contract extension through the 2019-20 season, sources told @CBSSports.

[Str8Hoosiers 2,965]

USA TODAY has released their preseason bracketology... Obviously means little at this point but I found a few things interesting...
IU a 4 seed, in the same region Wichita State (picked by some for Final Four) as the #3 seed.
Also have UofL as a 4 seed, yet they aren't even ranked preseason.
Vandy a 5 seed, gonna be tough in Maui
Michigan as an 8 seed proving BIG TEN depth

Gonzaga game called off at halftime.

Gottfried proceeds to lose his first game with this extension, 85-68 at home against William & Mary.

[Dalton26 16,891]

I don't think these announcers realize anyone besides Ben Simmons is on the court. I've not heard another name besides his except when they compare him to LeBron.

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Yes, they have a love affair. But he is smooth, and he rebounds well, plus he keeps his teammates involved. But, The James comparison is a bit much.

Butler hung 144 on The Citadel tonight.
