BYU I Bleed Blue Walk-on

probability of more free throws in close would be higher I would imagine. Still, an "and one" would be the same. Free throw percentages wouldn't really change though just based on shot attempts.

i'm a rose apologist. my favorite byu coach of all time. but its ridiculous

34% on 3 is more than 50% on 2's

thanks. and there you go. he should be shooting 5-7 threes a game.

We seem to be running a scheme for the sake of running a scheme rather than

Indy Coug

right. because long rebounds go back to us a good percentage of the time.

johnnycarson

1/12/18 10:44am

I just mean that the percentage of a 34% 3 is equal to like 51% from 2.

yeah. and im saying its even better than that. i think people have been able

I agree, especially as a 4 if you can be a consistent threat from the outside

Except that isn’t considering foul shots.

DOes that work for individual players stats?

Long rebounds off 3 pointers is a myth.

I really miss the transition game.

I miss it, then I remember how it equated to zero success is post season

3 x .333 = 1, 2 x .5 = 1

But, 3 x .34 = 1.02 which is > 1.

I agree. If you take 6 threes at 33% vs 6 twos and make 50% you end up with six

the main reason he needs to shoot more 3's is because he is supposed to be

Seljaas is also gun shy when anyone us in his vicinity

and this is where i blame the coaches. they should be telling him to shoot or

The offense is not getting him or others enough open shots, especially

kimdaddy35

i really think its because rose is running this high low post play all the time.

It seems to me TJ specifically struggles in the half court

you can't push the ball if you can't rebound well

We are one of the best defensive rebounding teams in the country. #4 in

This team is also forcing more TOs than last year's team fyi

Gotta add in the effect of more free throws when taking 2s

Are we assuming Seljaas is reluctant to shoot because the coaches have

Agaricus

that's the assumption and i'll tell you why. the coaches have all the control -

has anyone else noticed that Seljaas has a sid-spin on his shot? It's not

yeah and he sometimes floats forward too

It definitely exists.

The only question is whether it existed during his frosh year or

Maybe he's not shooting or trying hard to get open.

Don’t blame Rose. The kid has lost confidence in his shot

youngster

1/12/18 3:20pm

he should be told if he doesn't shoot it when he's open he'll get pulled

smokymountainrain

And you're privy to what they've told him how?

I'm assuming that coaches are experimenting this year with the offense. Some areas are improved, but it's also clear
