[](http://beatthecompetitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/HOLD.png)How Much Of An Effect Does The Crowd Really Have?
There is no question that psychology plays a crucial role in sports performance. How many basketball games have you seen where the pressure of a clutch situation causes a player to make a poor decision and make you say to yourself “What on earth was that guy thinking?” Players from basketball recreation leagues all the way to the professionals often make poor choices that they wouldn’t normally make under relaxed circumstances.
Arguably one of the most influential factors that may cause a player to act irrationally is the atmosphere created by the noise of the crowd. Dealing with a noisy crowd (both home and away) has proven to be a difficult task as a loud crowd may cause a number of issues to arise, which include . . .

Arguably one of the most famous examples of this confusion over the right play call was when the Michigan Wolverines missed their chance at a National Championship in 1993. Reflection on this event shows that indeed the inability for players and coaching staff to deal with the crowd noise created an atmosphere of confusion and misunderstanding amongst the team that neither player nor coaching staff had anticipated.
There was this dull roar, you couldn’t hear yourself think”
Dugan Fife – Michigan Guard
This clip clearly demonstrates how a lack of familiarity with crowd noise and pressure can cause confusion amongst both the players and coaching staff, thus costing the Wolverines a National Championship.

Hitting Free-throws when it counts is critical to the success of a basketball team. Practicing free-throws under the same pressure as a game is critical in developing the proper mindset to excel from the free-throw line. It is difficult to mimic the emotion and atmosphere of a jam packed arena within the confines of a teams practice facility. It has been shown that during the last five minutes of basketball games….
free-throws constitute 35% of the points scored and in games decided by nine points or less, free-throws comprised 48% of the winning team’s points during the last five minutes, and 69% during the last minute of the games”
Ozar, Vaughn, Whitfield, Lord, & Dye (1994)
Since opportunities to shoot free-throws increase near the end of close games, it is imperative that these opportunities be converted into points. Unfortunately these conversion attempts are often failed by players dealing with the stress and pressure of the crowd rooting for the players to either hit the shot at home games or miss the shot at away games.
It has been proven that players will shoot better in practice then in games as shown below…
A significant difference was found between the overall free-throw shooting percentage for all games (69.2%) and practices (74.5%) [[[Chi].sup.2] (1, N = 3,038 shots) = 10.16, p [less than] .005]”
Ozar, Vaughn, Whitfield, Lord, & Dye (1994)
