try to look at it with some creative glasses and humor
This is my favorite quote of the conversation. After all, seeing my players skills called atrocious, awful, and inept at this level helps me see the humor. I defer to those who actually made statistical analysis to explain that. It has a diminishing level of returns similar to all functions of BB. All the same, I'd love to see note that my player succeeded despite collosal incompetence, similar to pulling a Homer Simpson. I'd love to see a player receive a pass he wasn't expecting, catch the rebound off his head, and throw an underhand half court three pointer to win the game, or even lose it by missing.
It looks only disappointing that my coach can't pull a Larry Bird and have all players shooting 80% FT. In spite, a few players have shot 6 of 7 in one isolated game.

The system is good the way it is. Just train FTs every once in a while or buy players who already have the skill. Nothing more complicated than that.

He didn't say it was a perfect system. He said, "The system is good the way it is." Which I don't think means perfect. In fact I think that pretty much means acceptable, which is what you would say it is. Hmmm...


And certainly stamina should have an effect on FT shooting. It does in real life.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Stamina: A player with high stamina will tire more slowly, and can be effective for longer periods on the court.

That I think is the answer to the question about stamina effect on FT.

It really isn't. I'd say that it's acceptable but by no means is it a perfect system.


Maybe it is acceptable - but I don't like the idea of changing it so it trains easier. Training should be hard.

The skills work fine. It's the manager's job to develop the player the way they want -- don't expect to be given a freebie because "that's what happens on average". Not to mention that if a pick a bunch of random high school or amateur players, they won't be shooting .700 on average, I can guarantee you that.



You can't guarantee that. I bet you I can shoot .700 on average.

Now if you were to grab a bunch of random 8th graders and told them to just shoot 100 shots from 20 feet out then yea im pretty sure you can guarantee not one of them will hit 70 or more of them.


If they can, some colleges need to start recruiting junior high kids.
