RE: Some things to keep in mind

I once played a pickup game in the HYPER at USU and a BB player showed up (6'4" Guard). I was always thought I was a pretty fast runner. He got a rebound and started a break back to the other basket. He was as fast dribbling as I could run unencumbered. I could only trail him all the way to the basket. He ended up playing pro ball in Mexico or something, no NBA.

Open shots in games was one of the most frustrating issues with BYU in the past.

I’m a crap basketball player and probably haven’t made 15 3s in a row. But 10-12

Same here. W/no one guarding me, I can shoot pretty well, but in a game, I suck.
