Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3032292, member: 289"] Of course an undefended shot is easier to make than a defended shot and if all coaches insist on scoring in the paint or from the arc, those are the only places defenses have to defend. Also, the capacity to shoot from three point range is going to vary from player to player, team to team and level to level. having every player and team use the same strategy assumes that all players and all teams are the same. Tyus Battle isn't going to score as well as he did eschewing the two point jumper in favor of three point jumpers because he's not as good at them. The insistence that everybody should be jacking it up from the three point line or driving to the hole and nothing else is the equivalent of the trend in baseball that says that everyone should be swinging with an uppercut and going for the fences, even fast guys with little power. It's taking an overall stat and assuming that it applies equally to all situations. [/QUOTE]
