They won a Division I NCAA Championship together. Steve is considered one of the elite Division I head coaches today. Steve's father was instrumental in Steve's development, being a great basketball coach himself.

Gary Boren has been with the Dallas Mavericks through many head coach changes and he remains the only recognized, successful, free throw coach in the NBA. We wish he would share more of his instructional secrets here. Gary has published much of his understanding in books and videos. His early foundation came during the years he was mentored by free throw champion and coach Denny Price.

Unfortunately, there is no video of Dr. Tom setting his conscetive free throw record of 2,750. That would have been a lot of video but interesting to the free throw purist. It took Dr. Tom 12 hours to set his record. This is because he took three bounces and has a loop in his style and motion. He also took a 5 minute break every 25 minutes. He set his Guinness world record with the required number of witnesses. They closed the gym on him after he had passed Ted St. Martins record, by over 600 makes, so he ended his record on a make - perfect 2,750 for 2,750.

Ted will go down in all of history as the best free throw shooter ever. No one has come close to equaling his consecutive free throw record since he set it. Over ten years ago, the last consecutive free throw record holder, Dr. Tom Amberry made 2,750 in a row ending on a make, beating Ted's record then by over 600 makes. He probably wishes now that he could have continued shooting as it seems Ted has put the consecutive free throw record out of touch. Dr. Tom had beaten Ted's record then only to be left behind later by a tenacious Ted.

Ray Allen is one of the best shooters in the history of the NBA. See how he also does an isometric while at the free throw line, like Steve Nash, before receiving the basketball from the ref. He's super quick once he has the ball in his hands.
