Red was never a great shooter. He wasn’t horrible, but rather pedestrian. He was a career 33% 3 point shooter and career 75% FT shooter. GMac was a career 36% 3 pt shooter and 90% FT shooter.

Also, Red played on teams with significantly better talent (Moten being key) which often allowed him to get off easier, unguarded shots. By GMac’s junior year he was the main focus of the offense and his numbers declined a bit. Red was never the main focus of the offense.

Basically, I think GMac understood the mechanics of shooting significantly better than Red.

FWIW, this is not a pro-GMac for next HC post. This is a post stating GMac knows more about shooting than Red and is a better coach. But if we could go back in time I would have picked GMac over Red, if the decision was solely between those two to take over from JB.

But I was always an advocate for an outside hire. I’m looking forward to a break from the JB tree. Program needs a fresh start and a new identity.
