Assani,

Good analysis, I suggested to Al that he PM you given your background.

However, I too think your 15/minute is high, partly because there's only two balls and two people in play, so you could clank one here or there and not get them in your hand to maintain that average. That's a shot every four seconds. In my breakdown I thought a shot every 5-6 seconds was reasonable (so, 10-12/minute). Although the pre-shot routine will be tossed out the window, there is still the necessity to square and use proper technique. Between getting the ball and executing the shot and repeating this for 30 minutes, my guess is 15 shots/minute is simply not reasonable without negatively impacting the FT%.

Also, I mentioned to Al that if it's the guy that was proposing it then to beware, he knows what he's doing. It reminds me of Nick Rainey and the racquet/throw tennis prop bet.
