Cool. Thanks for posting.

It was interesting to hear LB compare this hiatus with things he has been through in the past when coaching in the NBA.

Hope we don't take less threes. I know LB believes that if you work the ball and run the sets you should be left with a good look somewhere between a layup and like 4 feet (which it often does), but our offense clearly can create in rhythm open looks from 3 as well. An in rhythm open look for 3 should be a green light for Keith, Nic, Shake, Sterling, and Foster.

I had the same thought listening to Larry's interview. Our guys have proven they can use pretty good judgment as to when to shoot threes and as a team we are hitting almost 44%. Sterling is hitting 72% of his threes, Shake 45%, Nick and Jarrey 44% and although they have only taken a couple each, both Markus and Jordan are shooting 50% from three point range. As a team, we have taken 151 threes to our opponents 234 (opponents are hitting only 31%). I like that our guys have had a little more freedom in not passing up wide open looks. Of course, Keith is only hitting 36% and has always been the guy most likely to force up a questionable shot.
