Message: [QUOTE="TinyManInside, post: 2533651, member: 1251"] That's how statistics work if each individual action is defined by a simple statistical probability that is influenced by [B]nothing[/B] other than it's own random probability. Shooting free throws doesn't really work like that. You cannot neglect the human element. Good shooters tend to calibrate their shot/adjust their mechanics. Some players will start out poorly but figure out how to adjust to make shots (like Chukwu last night). Then on the other hand, poor performance on one trip can influence future poor performance ("getting into a player's head"). Most players will follow a regression to their mean percentage if given enough chances. [/QUOTE]
