Author: Martin Plum September 14, 2026 Duration: 23:51

It seems so simple, right? It's "free" after all, so why do so many games come down to missed free throws? In this podcast we discuss the importance of free throw shooting and why it should be part of your daily routine in practice, tips for better free throw shooting and ways that you can unconventionally add free throw shooting to your team's daily workouts. In addition, we've got a great quote from Emma Hayes, and we discuss one of the absolute legends of the game, Pat Riley!


Imagine a whiteboard session after a big game, the kind where strategy gets scribbled on whatever's handy. That's the spirit of A Pen And A Napkin. This weekly conversation lives at the crossroads of sport and creative thinking, diving deep into the art of coaching basketball. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a gym office, listening to the nuanced discussions about player development, offensive sets, defensive adjustments, and the philosophy behind building a team. It’s less about Xs and Os in a vacuum and more about the why-the human elements and the creative problem-solving that define the craft. You’ll hear authentic breakdowns of game situations, reflections on leadership, and practical ideas that often start with a simple sketch. Think of it as a portable mentors’ roundtable, a clinic distilled into conversation, offering perspectives that resonate whether you’re on the sidelines or just appreciate the deeper layers of the game. Tune in for a podcast that captures the ongoing, ever-evolving dialogue at the heart of coaching.
