The strategy is fine. The rules are fine. Players should learn to make their free throws, preferably from an early age.

The "issue" here moreso shows a lack of proper training for young basketball players. I was the tallest guy on the court growing up, but I was taught how to shoot free throws at an early age, so I made most of them.

I think some guys rely too much on athleticism and don't learn the proper fundamentals growing up. That is a breakdown in the system, not the rules. IMO, of course.
