Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 5180993, member: 1673"] A high shooting percentage generally reflects taking high percentage shots. High percentage shots generally reflects taking open shots. Open shots generally reflect shots where the shooter will not be fouled. High percentage shots are not always open shots for post players, but our star post player is the post’s version of Bueckers, a savvy player who knows how to get and take open shots, including drives to the basket that are too quick to be fouled. We have a smooth offense with an impressive amount of savvy players (add Fudd, Shade and even Cheli). While I hope we improve from being 350, we will not get as many calls as other top teams. Increasing foul attempts would likely depend on Arnold, Chen (the drivers) El-Affy or Brady (the posts). El-Affy would be the preferred candidate for this …. if she learns to shoot FTs better. On edit: There are offenses/programs that seek contact to draw fouls. Notre Dame historically has been such a team (both on offense and defense). UConn tends to adapt to the roster. This roster has players that know how to move the ball and get open shots. [/QUOTE]
