Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3061896, member: 8636"] Brian Scalabrine makes a great point on the Celtics broadcasts, that one should not attempt a 3-point shot until the ball has at least touched the paint. I believe in that 100%, especially regarding my favorite teams, the Celts and Huskies. The ball gets into the paint by way of dribble penetration, post pass, pick and roll, cut, back door. The defense has to react to any and all of those possibilities, thereby leaving a shooter open. Finally the shooter needs to relocate, meaning to move so the defense doesn’t know where they are, and/or move to the spot that is open on the floor. Shooter should be ready, like was said by Tonyc and the pass needs to be on target. All these fundamentals happen and UConn shoots at least 40% from 3. Passing around the perimeter does not break down a defense or open up the inside for 2nd chance points. Taking the first look available does not move the defense. Finally, shooters are in rhythm when the team is moving or clicking. [/QUOTE]
