Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 4521203, member: 237"] Here are some numbers. In 2002-2003- 84 teams shot 20 3s a game and 50 shot less than 15 In 2012-13 - 88 teams shot 20 3s a game and 23 shot less than 15 In 2022-23 so far- 256 teams are shooting 20 3s a game and 7 are shooting less than 15 a game Let's look at makes- In 02-03 19 teams made 8 or more per game In 12-13 25 teams made 8 or more per game In 22-23 103 teams are making 8 or more per game I would say the game has shifted necessitating scheme adjustments. Put that into a model with more variables and the correlation will be strong. Now take the above and pair it with recruiting struggles and you magnify the issue but the way teams play to shoot the 3 has shifted massively. The reason for doing the above is that the numbers on the bell curve have shifted a lot. That is significant and related to how the tactics of the game have changed [/QUOTE]
