Grumpy Old Man

“Everybody, all they want to talk about is our free-throw shooting. I don’t know why. I come back to the conclusion that maybe they haven’t seen our team play, nor do they really know and the easy thing to talk about off the stat sheet is our free throws."
- John Calipari

I hate to be a curmudgeon, but being able to hit free throws is a basic fundamental of basketball. If you can't do it consistently, you really shouldn't win a title. It's the easiest way to put away a close game - if you can get a lead and hit your free throws, it's almost impossible for the trailing team to comeback.

Maybe, just maybe, there's a reason why Calipari still doesn't have a title. Just sayin...
