Jordan Poole, a career 88-percent shooter from the foul line, said the sound of barking — especially if a player didn’t expect it — had the potential to unsettle a pro before his first or second attempts. “If there was a way you would try to sneak a free-throw miss out of me, or two, it might be some dogs,” Poole said, smiling. Corey Kispert, a career 80-percent free-throw shooter, said he would be thrown off-kilter if two sections’ worth of dogs suddenly started barking. “It would confuse me more than anything,” Kispert said. “It’s kind of what you want from free-throw defense, and any chance you can get a little bit of a leg up in these games, the better.” -via New York Times / January 6, 2025
