Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5450403, member: 405"] Yes, and if we didn't even have him as a low post threat, what was going to happen when Judah or Joe had one of their 5-23 nights? We'd have lost by 50, not just 20. The reasons that teams shoot well from 3 is that their team can score at all 3 levels. If you can ONLY shoot the 3, teams can take that away. That was the essence of the great Boeheim 4-out-high zones. He outnumbered the shooters at the 3 point line. If people take away the 3 point shot, and you don't have someone who can score down low, tell us, [B]what do you do, as a coach?[/B] Because the defense will sag off you and dare you to drive into the packed in defense. UConn was good from three because they ran their offense inside-out. Surely you've heard announcers say that 1,000 times before. That's what opens up the outside shot, people collapsing on the ball in the lane, and then kicking it out to the shooter. [/QUOTE]
