We have been working hard at free throws all season, and our work is beginning to pay off. Over the Christmas break, we held numerous free throw only practices during the morning. This has really helped our players’ fine tune their routines and step to the line with confidence. We are going to continue to shoot a lot of free throws as a team and individually, as many ACC games this season will come down to the line and we want to be prepared.</blockquote> (The blog post is dated '06, but the context makes it clear that it was written in '07) Actually, I read today that free throws are being given special treatment, I can’t find the original article, but I found Coach Purnell’s blog (I didn’t even know he had one), which has the same comments:

Something like special teams for our football squad. You’d imagine that with the trouble that Clemson had from the stripe last year that they would make it a point of improvement in the off-season.
