Kyler Filewich had been struggling with his free throws for years .

Last season , he shot 31.6 percent from the line, leading to his coaches asking if he would consider switching up his form from a traditional shot to granny style.

Wofford even brought in Rick Barry , the godfather of granny free throws, for a free throw boot camp.

The results have been mixed with Filewich shooting 18 -of-51 free throws ( 35.3 percent ) since February .
