McCallum Into Championship of 'Shots from the Heart' Tournament

Head Coach Bracket | Shots from the Heart Information

DETROIT -- Already with one championship in 2012, Detroit men's basketball head coach Ray McCallum is after another as he in the finals of CollegeInsider.com's “Shots from the Heart”. He will now take on Arizona's Sean Miller – runner-up in the competition a year ago - in the title match of the head coaches' bracket.

The objective of "Shots from the Heart" is to help create more awareness for the growing problem of Heart Disease and to raise money to benefit the Skip Prosser Foundation. CollegeInsider.com and the Skip Prosser Foundation are working with the American Heart Association, which will be a beneficiary of the Skip Prosser Foundation, to further promote "Shots from the Heart" and the educational aspects of heart disease.

Coach McCallum has been dead on during this event sinking all 125 of his free throws so far. He started by eliminating then-Ohio head coach John Groce, 56-47, in round one and Delaware's Monte Ross, 56-52.

In the “Sweet 16” he ousted North Carolina State's Mark Gottfried, 56-52, and then dispatched defending champion in Iowa State's Fred Hoiberg, 56-49, to reach the Final Four.

He drew UNC Wilmington's Buzz Peterson in the Final Four and in a close battle, McCallum's uncanny ability to hit free throws led him to a narrow, 56-55, victory over Michael Jordan's former roommate in college.

The competition is based on each coach shooting 25 consecutive free throws with different point values attributed to each set of shots. There is also a tiebreaker based on consecutive shots. The event will come to an end in late May.

SHOT VALUES:
- Shots 1-10 are worth 1 point
- Shots 11-15 are worth 2 points
- Shots 16-20 are worth 3 points
- Shots 21-24 are worth 4 points
- Shot 25 is worth 5 points

TIE BREAKERS:
First tie breaker: Most consecutive shots converted without a miss at any time during the 25 free throw attempts.
Second tie breaker: Bonus basketballs. If there is still a tie shots 5, 10 and 15 will count as double points.
Third tie breaker: In the event that the two competitors are still tied there will be a shoot off.
