Therein in lies a LARGE part of the problem; far, FAR too many kids chuck it up from 3-pt land and don't follow their shot, their teammates shot

True, plenty of kids "finish at the rim" but there are also a fair amount of uncontested def rebounds, simply b/c the "offense" hasn't followed the shot

Add in the lack of "sexiness" factor of the 10-15 foot jumper and of the FT and you have today's college and nba game
I still play a lot of ball at the park. The mid range game is my game these days and no one really defends it either. Plus it's a higher percentage shot. Everyone stands around at the three point line and the defense plays out there too. And yes you can get a lot of rebounds by following your shot. Anyone not following their shot is basically just being lazy in my view.
 
don't disagree with differing philosophies; it's like the different styles in baseball; the long-ball vs. small ball

I don't have a problem w/ a kid taking a three... i have a problem with a kid passing up a legit 2-pt shot to attempt a 3 and THEN not follow up a potential RB

I understand how you feel but most coaches would grade that long two and following the miss as a bad shot over taking/missing a shot from 3 without following. I know many don't like how the game has progressed, but I don't see analytics getting kicked anytime soon.

we're in agreement, i disagree with that coach's grade and I agree on "analytics" remaining

i'm free to "consume" products that I enjoy; the current game is becoming more and more UNenjoyable, i'm betting i "consume" less and less of the current, future game

Analytics, can make or break you... ask Monte Ellis, he found himself out of the league due to analytics. There is a big difference between a 17-18 footer, and a 10-12 footer, and from what I saw this season, the 10-12 footer from just inside the paint continues to be part of the game. The 17 footer is dead, and a 17 footer with the shooter crashing the boards is a recipe for disaster in today's game. Don't forget the impact that the 3 had on transition offense, and the increased importance on getting back after a miss.

Whats JS standard defense? Man to Man, 2-3, 1-3-1...With his type of offense, it would be fun to see a HAVOC (Shaka Smart) or 40 minutes of Hell (Nolan Richardson) style defense...That will surely make the other schools in The Valley hate ISU

Go back to the first page in this thread and I put up a link to a podcast where he was on and talked a majority of his philosophies and X/O approach. Was well worth the listen.

Agreed. The Mo Valley is a grind-it-out league
 
In case you're so inclined...

Been watching basketball for 60+ years and have never come across anyone who knows and analyzes the game like HCJS.
