    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">At 88.9 percent, Scott Skiles is the fourth-most accurate free-throw shooter in NBA history. At 41.8 percent, Ben Wallace often got pulled from Pistons games late.

    Sounds like a match made in improvement heaven.

    "I don't really want to go into it because I don't want to make an issue out of it," Skiles said. "Because I truly believe what I said at [Wallace's introductory] press conference: I don't care if he makes them or not.

    "I don't expect anything crazy to happen where all of a sudden he's leading the league in free-throw shooting. I just want him to relax and work on a couple of things and see what happens."</div>

    Well I watched a video online a while ago (I believe I posted it here) of Wallace shooting FT in practice and making somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20 in a row. He can shoot them it’s just during the game the adrenaline affects him. He has to learn to shoot them in game time situations.

    Hopefully he does improve and we don't have too pull him out of games late in close games.

    If you click on the source, it has a couple of more lines.
    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After each practice, Wallace shoots free throws, and knocks them down with consistency. Skiles said he and staff members watched video of many Wallace free throws and suggested some pointers.

    But that's about all Skiles will say. And Wallace, as usual, just keeps talking about working hard to get better.
