Whether it's right or wrong, the best players usually get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to fouls. They get those favorable whistles. Now, Collins sees Brooks as one of those guys. He believes Brooks is at that level, where he’s deserves that level of respect on the court.
Brooks' style of play, driving hard to the basket, finishing through contact, that’s the kind of game that should get him to the line more often. The dude’s got great balance and strength, great footwork, and he knows how to use that contact to his advantage. With the way he attacks the rim, especially with all the banging he takes inside, you’d expect him to be living at the free-throw line more than he has been. That is the longer and less subtle version of what Collins is saying. He should be shooting more free throws.
