A hypnotist! I love it, I'm not criticizing him but that is funny.

Hypnotists have been used before with mixed results. I think it depends upon whether a guy makes them routinely in practice with no pressure such that his form is fine, but he is unable to relax in a game similar to one who drives it straight on the range but not out on the course. First you work on mechanics, then the ability to relax.

It was crazy on Saturday, because even MAAR was bitten by the missed FT bug at times.

Mind you, this is only what I once read (back when I cared about the sport I played at U-M):  Hall-of-Fame hitting machine ROD CAREW regularly consulted a hypnotist.  How much that had to do with a .328 lifetime average or seven(7) batting titles is debatable, but it obviously didn't HURT his prowess.

I've never played organized basketball, but I have to agree with coach B: FT shooting success/failure is at least 50% mental, for the AVERAGE player.

As an addendum to your, point, 'Shoes, I also played (sandlot, not college) tennis for decades, and knew many, many people (myself included) who hit groundstrokes very well----DURING WARMUP. Once the match started, the net was a MAGNET for their shots.

Do you think it could be (as with bad FT shooting) a type of "mental block" that in a GAME (or match), misses/mistakes COUNT FOR SOMETHING, and something bad, whereas in practice/warmup/driving range, you think what the hell,  just hit or shoot the next ball?

Everything is mental. I'll leave it at that.

90% of the game is 1/2 mental
