Shout out to whichever of you is representing in Cuse gear in the front row.
CBSWhat channel?
Goodine put up nearly the same second round score as Joe, but looked more inconsistent doing it, as BG’s shots were off left/right when Joe’s were almost all on-line. A lot of arc for Brycen, as well. Wonder if that will be ‘coached out’ or if it’s okay as is.
More arc is better than less
I thought Goodine was signed up for the dunk contest.
Also cuse at duke from this season on some channel called college stadium.
That's what Noah said.
Sooo... here’s no such thing as ‘too much?’More arc is better than less
Post again so I can give you a second like
You’re on fire.You hand out likes "two by two"?
Sooo... here’s no such thing as ‘too much?’
Sooo... coaches should tell JG3 to add arc?
Seriously, I thought shot doctors talk about a point where there is an unnecessary amount of arc, and all you’re doing is adding more ‘flight distance,’ which just magnifies inaccuracy.
I’m hoping he’s also a dribbler and a passer in between all of those 3’s and dunksI really liked them saying how Goodine said he's a dunker and a shooter. What's not to love?
chix kicked butt in 3 point shoot out.
Smaller ball
IDK, maybe. Didn't look like he had 'too much' arc.
I'm just against messing with a jumper that isn't broken. Tyus had an okay jumper that he tried to make better and he broke it.
There is in fact an optimal arc for shooting. If you take into account ball backspin and trajectory to calculate the shot angle approaching the area of the rim, the highest margin for error (i.e. greatest chance of ball entry through the hoop) is at a 52 degree angle (IIRC, it's been awhile since I looked at the physics). This allows for the most right/left and long/short variance of the ball's position to still go through the hoop. When you actually calculate the angle and associated trajectory, it comes out that very few shooters in fact have arc as high as the optimal arc. So generally speaking, for putting the ball through the hoop you want more arc rather than less.
If you are interested in the derivation of the physics, there is an excellent book on the Physics of Basketball by John Fontanella (ex professor at the Naval Academy and former research collaborator of mine).
