Through 10 games of the 2011-12 season, Kentucky was shooting just 154-for-228 (67.5 percent) from the free throw line. It appeared John Calipari's reputation as a coach with supremely talented teams who can't consistently convert at the foul line would be reinforced, right or wrong. Then, over the holiday break, Calipari instituted stiff penalties for missed free throws. For every attempt at the line that the Wildcats miss in a game, a 33-second sprint would await them in practice the following day.
