    The difference between a good coach and a bad coach. BS hates it too but Pop embraces it and uses it.

    I wonder how many attempts a game there would be for a 4-point, halfcourt shot.

    BS hates the 3 but allows a 20% three point shooter to chuck 10+ threes a game multiple times. What BS hates is any kind of intelligent offensive schemes where 3's can come in rhythm, or any shot for that matter.

    For some reason probably 90% of my posts the last 2 months is me ranting about the mentally deranged excuse for a head coach we have.

    I'm not a purist to the point that pop is, but I don't like how important the 3 has become (particularly the nonsensical corner three). the nba has needed to enlarge the court for years. they should do that and extend the three point line another couple feet. I think we'd get a more entertaining product, actually.

    I've been saying this for years but everyone looks at me funny when I do. They need to widen the court. Widen it so the 3pt arc is actually a perfect semi circle, so the 3 pt range is equal distance from every point. Not only would this make sense but it would also open up the game more (more space) and prevent those unneccessary moments when guys step out of bounds because there's no room between the sideline and 3pt line.
