Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4355818, member: 7511"] It’s not quite that simple. The foul rate on 2-pt shots in the NBA is 13.9% vs 1.7% on 3-pt shots. This past season the average number of 2-pt shots per game was 53 vs 35 x 3-pt shots per game. The average FT percentage was approximately 78% with an average of approximately 17 made FT’s per game. Some of those FT’s were non-shooting fouls when teams were over the limit and some were technical fouls. But the vast majority of those FT’s occurred as a result of fouls incurred on 2-pt shots. So here again, running an aggressive offense that attacks the basket gets a team to the FT line a lot more than firing up shots from the arc. [/QUOTE]
