The more you drive to the paint (inside-oriented tactics), the more likely you will draw fouls.

This means that FT would be considered in the shot making decision for the last minutes of the game (or the entire game... or never). Perhaps one of the gurus in analytics (Moutlinho, Josef_Ka) can give us some insight on this.

Maybe he was beating 3-2 zone and then poor shotblockers pf and c used to foul against him?

After he beats man, who guards him, he drives to the rim. So pf or c tries to close the window and fouls..

One time I had a C with poor JS and IS, but great PA (10) and FT (16, I think). In a close game when he played on SF or PF, in the last minute he started shooting on every possession even thought there were much better shooters around him. At first I was baffled, but then I understood the coach wanted him to get to FT line. He did two times (I didn't win that game). However, this particular game made me think you are right with your theory, but I'm not sure completely.

conversely, the other team was happy to let such a player be taking shots late in the game. and occasionally they would make a mistake and foul him.

I just think It makes them get to the line and make them. The game against UMD was before the 1st week of FT Training. The Game against S.L.C.J was the day after training. I got 4 more pops this week in FT,so I probably will make more.

Overall,It could make them go to the line more (Or less,as it did to me)
I think the more FT's you shoot,you could maximize the number you make.
The less FT's you shoot,I think you will make mroe.

I haven't ever seen a game with perfect FT's,while shooting 30+. I think that's why There is a "cap" to FT's made,no matter what level you have.

Jst saying,I may be wrong.

no, that must not be the case just look at this formula:

f(x)=a*x/(a*x+1)

the higher the x get the closer it get to one, but the higher the x is the lesser is the difference when you go to x+1.
That pretty much like the FT formula is working here, the first improvement makes a big difference and going to perfect shooting is most likely impossible.
