 Boren has served as an NBA Free Throw Shooting Coach for the past 17 years.  He was with the Golden State Warriors from 1993 to 1995, the New York Knicks in 1996, and the Dallas Mavericks from 1997 to the present.  From 2003 to 2006 he worked for both the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Clippers. 

The Mavericks have finished either first or second of the 30 NBA teams in free throw shooting in 9 of the last 12 regular seasons.  In the past 11 years the Mavericks have made the playoffs, and have averaged 81% over 127 games, by far the leader in free throw shooting.  In a road playoff game at San Antonio in 2003 the team made a record 49 consecutive free throws, a record that might remain unchallenged forever, as it is rare when any team even attempts that many in any game.  The Clippers made the playoffs once using Coach Boren, shooting 81.6% at the line, second best in the 2006 playoffs. 

Complete regular season and playoff free throw statistics are included on this website.  Reference letters from coaches who have brought Coach Boren in for clinics can be viewed by clicking on the school or coach’s name.
