7th grade gym class can be VERY intimidating!!! One air-ball and you're the outcast through high school.

I didn't see every free throw taken, but from what I saw it sure looked like the free throws were rushed a little bit. Maybe they should take an extra dribble or two to focus?

If we do that, MAC Officials will say we are taking too long and take the shot away...yeah, MAC Refs are THAT bad!

4 of 13 is pretty bad but EVERYBODY can shoot 80% when they stand at the line, get in a rythym and shoot shot after shot. Doing it with 5,000 people screaming at you and after running twenty wind sprints makes it a bit more challenging I would think (I never played in front of 5,000 people so I'm not sure).

Well, I don't think the people screaming at you makes any difference, (Personally I would find 20000 silent people to be much more unnerving) but the running wind sprints part does. It's much more difficult to shoot a free throw while trying to catch your breath, possibly just after getting knocked to the floor, than it is in practice. In practice I could usually hit 80-90% with ease, but I would never be over 66% or so in games.
