Jordan on FT Shooting


From Rick Majerus' book "My Life on a Napkin":

"I got paid to be a coach at Jordan's camp, but I would have done it for free. it was worth it just to hear Jordan talk. I picked up things to tell my own team. I'll tell you one thing that was really a great point. Someone asked him during the talk-back, 'When you go to the foul line after you get hit, what are you thinking about right there?'

He said, "Number one, I expect to get hit. My expectation is that I'll be hit, and I'll be hit hard. Then I go to the foul line, and I try not to go to the foul line angry. I don't want those thoughts to cloud the concentration and the mechanics needed to make a foul shot.'
