NBA scoring is down, and free throws are at a historic low

Given the makeup of the Competition Committee, perhaps the league’s course correction shouldn’t be surprising. Charlotte Hornets Governor Michael Jordan, the face of the more physical and lower-scoring 1990s era, sits on the 14-member panel, which is composed of governors, general managers, coaches, referees and players. Also on the committee are Detroit Pistons Coach Dwane Casey, a basketball lifer with nearly three decades of NBA experience, and a pair of veteran guards with all-defensive team selections in Chris Paul and Kyle Lowry.
