In the paint post up is the worst shot? Worse than an 18' deep 2pt shot?

Im genuinely surprised to hear that.

Are these college analytics or pro? Because applying pro analytics to the college game is crazy

I like that guy and imagine his players love him.

Well, analytics are different for every team. Our teams points per 3pt attempt (232 for 744 = 31%) is 0.935. My point is...find out what your team is good at and put them in a position to do it. Just 'cause you win one huge game does not mean your an analytical coaching genius. If I have Hardin or Curry on my team, you dang right I give them the green light.

This thread prompted me to look at Wilt the Stilt's stats. I gotta admit, I had no idea just how 17'n dominant he was...

Averaged 50 and 26 in 1961-62 season.

He shot 50% that year, but how do you factor in how often he got the O rebound of his own miss and put it in, like Big T does so often?

It grate's on me when I see a player turn down a wide open 12'-15' shot

for the chance to drive into the lane (so he can throw up a poor shot) where 2-3 taller players are waiting on him.
