Are these the official NCAA thresholds? Because making 2.5 threes per game is a lot. I've written in before about how the conference leaderboards seem to be skewed because only a few players qualify, and no wonder.

Hansen broke his finger early in the 1988-89 season, the year that coincided with his decline from 74% to 56% foul shooting, so perhaps that was responsible.

Then again, he also shot 58% from the line in his first 2 NBA seasons, and aside from one fluke 85% year as a sophomore, shot under 70% in college. Perhaps the half-decent 74% run from 1986-88 is probably the outlier, not the surrounding years.

Neil - How can you explain the sudden drop off in free throw percentage of Bobby Hansen in the late 1980's. For 3 years as a starter for the Jazz he shot better than 70 percent, then he collapsed.
