Message: [QUOTE="NYFan, post: 5355540, member: 13702"] When you think about it, if you take a 2- or 3- point shot, you have one shot to get 2 or 3 points. But let's say you're fouled going for a 2-pointer. You still have a chance to get 2 points, but the N.I.S.E. stat counts it as 2 "shots", not 1 shot. Yet if someone makes both shots, the team benefits as much as if the original 2-point attempt was made without a foul. In an ideal world, I would say every time an [I]attempt to score[/I] is made (while the clock is running), that should increase the denominator in the equation. That also means that if you make a 2-pointer and get fouled for an "and one", if you make that extra shot, you get rewarded with a score of 3 points on one attempt (as opposed to the current scoring where you would get 3 points on 2 attempts). Now, in reality, I don't know if the statistics are available to calculate all of this... [/QUOTE]
