Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5653751, member: 405"] The thing is, though, that more and more players could not just make a 21 foot shot, but they can now make a 25 foot shot. That made the zone spread out even more. He already moved the forwards up to the foul line, so we had 4 guys guarding the line, compared to usually 3 shooters. But the openings in the middle became bigger and bigger, Centers contesting corner threes became impractical. And corner threes suddenly became the ones that people made the most, when in the early days, it was more elbow threes or from the top of the key, where you had the backboard to give you depth on the shot. I think that if JB had brought the forwards down a bit, where they could contest both the wing three, and the corner three, and we left the center in the lane to block shots and rebound, it would have worked better in the later days. My two cents. [/QUOTE]
