--The Bobcats have improved their foul-shooting this season (15th

currently, versus 29th last season) and that might have something to

do with the "free-throw school" assistant coach Jeff Capel runs

Dudley -- three weak foul-shooters in the rotation -- each shoot three

sets of 10 free throws in the school, with military-style exercises as

the penalty when they miss.

nervous about joining the ranks of people telling him what to do." --

Coach Larry Brown, on his reluctance so far to directly lobby Antonio

McDyess to join the Bobcats.
