btownqb Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 The AAU comment is confusing. Some of the best ball movement, and player movement I have seen is in AAU. But.. just move the line back to 19ft 9in (what it was when it was introduced), 2.5 feet closer than what it is now, and watch the %s skyrocket.

I still think reducing the shot clock to 30 has hurt shooting percentage. Also teams waiting 12-15 seconds to get into their offense leads to a lot of bad shots at the end of the clock.

KoB2011 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 1 hour ago, Indykev said: Just to make everyone on the same page, the pool of eligible players that these stats are pulled from is 106 total players. I can’t find the exact criteria, but my best guess looking at it is a minimum of 2.5 made threes per game. For example, we have four players over 40% from three on the season and another at 39%, then Mack just a tad below 35% (I am confident he will finish the season over 35%). None of our guys qualify for this list because they don’t have enough makes. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to shoot at Market Square Arena when we took the boys and girls club to play there. I was use to the line being 19'9 but I was able to hit 8/20 from the pro line 23'9. I would hope ba college level player could adjust to the college line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think the all-time leading scorer in Big Ten history and an excellent shooter could make that small couple of steps back, but he never could. He was almost 44% for his career from 3 in college, but just under 30% in the NBA. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been fired for trashing the culture of the program Agree. I've said numerous times over the years that the phone calls aren't why the program was ruined, it was the grades and drug culture. My post wasn't meant as a support of what Sampson did at IU. It was "what could have been" if he had been able to keep his nose clean and run the program like he has at Houston. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can post that as many times as you want. I agree we need a starting PG. You start TG with --- transfer PG, TG, McNeely, MM, and Malik 10/10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty ridiculous to expect a high school kid to come in and shoot NBA threes while learning the college game. I thought it was dumb when they moved it. At worst split the difference or just left it alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
