Random Stat: Technical Free Throw ShootingQ: I would like to see stats on Technical/fragrant foul free throw shooting... I did this on my own for Lebron James last year and surprisingly it was somewhere around 60% -- bcherkalaA: Well we would regard technicals as very different from flagrants -- for technicals the team gets to choose who shoots it from the five on the floor, whereas the flagrant is the guy who gets fouled, not to mention post flagrant foul you might expect a player to be a little shaken up and not at their best! You try shooting "freebies" after getting clobbered by say Danny Fortson! So, we'll only look at the technicals:
You could posit all kinds of theories on why players might shoot the T worse, everything from not liking shooting without other players lined up, feeling the shot is unearned, not coming in the normal flow, or even feeling more/less pressure on the shot. We like to think that perhaps there's a touch of sympathy for the opponent who got dinged since technicals do indeed arise more than once in a while after legitimate bad calls... The more interesting look though may be on the team level, so let's go there...
So there you have had it, a truly obscure stat! There have been a lot of requests to see "Clutch free throw shooting" numbers and we'll probably get to those in the not too distant future as well..
Do you have an idea for a cool "random stat" you would like to see? If so, drop us a line
