Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 4852379, member: 12414"] Neither one of them look at the basket when they get the ball. Have you ever played BB at any level? If you have you must have heard of a concept you learn when you are taught how to play offense. The goal is when you get the ball is to become a triple threat. Basically that means be ready to pass, dribble or shoot. If they don’t even look at the basket everytime they get the ball they become much easier to guard. Actually the whole team becomes easier to guard. I am certain Adama just decided to start shooting threes in the tournament with no input from the coaches. Interesting what happened after he made a few. We proceeded to run the table and our offensive was a big reason. You have to start somewhere and since you bring up Dixon watch how we have to defend him tomorrow and then go back to your original response about why them taking a few won’t change anything. Also I did not say it will draw them all the way out all we need is for them to move a step or two further out not just sit at the half circle below the free throw line. Of course they are not going to play them like the play a legitimate shooter, but one or two steps can make a big difference to the defender from protecting the rim and still staying connected to Clingan or Samson from rolling or cutting to the hoop for a lay up or ally oop.
