I actually coached basketball and baseball. My son averaged 17 ppg as a freshman in high school, decided not to play basketball, and concentrate on baseball in which he was signed to a college scholarship.

He was all Northeast Tennessee in baseball, led the Big 10 conference in RBI's, was second in home runs with 12, batted .345 as the DH and had a 7-1 pitching record his senior year in high school. He was also the MVP in baseball and threw a no hitter in the district tournament against the team that had gone undefeated during the regular season. Had to take that opportunity to brag a little bit. Long time ago. Heck, I forgot he went to the Junior League World Series as a starter as a 13 year old. They were fourth in the world out of 2500 teams, Southern Regional Champions (13 states).

Your son's ppg as a freshman does not mean you know anything about basketball.

You know nothing about me and what I know about basketball but evidently it is more than you. I played high school ball, warmed the bench, but good enough to make the team just like Brandon. I taught my son basketball as a coach starting in 3rd grade so I was his coach in elementary school and two years of middle school. I taught him his jump shot and he was deadly from 3 as a freshman. I really don't know how anyone can give much credence to someone who leaves Tennessee for California. Since you said you like to pick at me, I'll return the favor!

Well apparently the head basketball coach at UT doesn't know anything about basketball then.

I think Johnny Bravo actually witnessed it differently at the game rather than some blurb from a gobobcats fan. "Tendall and his staff were watching their players pretty carefully at the RTL. Think he might be evaluating them in some sort of way. Maybe something can be taken from them after all."

I left California for Tennessee. Just proud of where I came from so it's in my username, nice try though.

I make my judgments about you by what you post. I disagree with you because I think you're wrong. I think you're wrong because I have many years of experience playing and coaching at the collegiate level, not because you were a drill sergeant. I couldn't care less about your army experience because it has nothing to do with your basketball knowledge.

Knowing how much you've actually played and coached the game makes all of your posts make much more sense now and explains why you think the way you do. I'm going to stop responding to you from now on and just laugh at the ridiculous things you post.

If as many of the 3 point shots these guys are taking are as uncontested as some have made them seem, he could get those reps in a gym by himself. But working on dribble drive would seem to be more productive against competition. just a thought

80% of the three point shots taken in a regulation game are uncontested. Every offense should focus on getting either a layup or an uncontested 3 pointer. That is exactly what the offense does. So to say the 3 point % stat from the Rocky Top League is not valid is as bogus as the FT% not being valid.

Really?

Darius Thompson 3p%
RTL- 38%
NCAA- 19%

Robert Hubbs 3p%
RTL- 32%
NCAA- 28%

D'montre Edwards 3p%
RTL- 54%
NCAA- 36%

Armani Moore 3p%
RTL- 38%
NCAA- 27%

Josh Richardson 3p%
RTL- 41%
NCAA- 33%

Jordan McRae 3p%
RTL- 36%
NCAA- 35%



So on average the 3pt% is about 10% higher in the RTL according to the stats, not sure how one can argue that, but I'm sure you'll try.

Let Bobby Maze explain from Manny's article since I can't seem to break through the RTL is terrible shell. But the biggest question mark remains. Can they handle the Southeastern Conference?
“Yeah, they can handle it,” Maze said. “For them to come out here and me really having to step it up defensively, me being a pro, I really had to guard them guys, and I really had to get after those guys."
These players probably take as much from their summer league as the football team does spring practice yet youdson't see the football fans downing spring practice. You guys are supposed to be boosting their morale not lowering it.

Nothing in your post provided a logical explanation to my post, which contained statistical evidence and you pride yourself on stats supposedly. How do you explain the average 10% increase in 3pt% from NCAA to RTL, and nobody from last years team shooting better in the NCAA than in RTL from 3?

I don't need some quote that's a completely different topic, let's address this one, about shooting percentages which I provided stats for.

You can't be serious right now. 80% are uncontested?! If any team is letting 80% of 3pt shots go uncontested, that team is getting waxed.

I haven't really gotten into a back or forth with you because I find it hard to believe that someone seemingly as uneducated in a subject could be so stubborn and hard head, without being a total troll. Does the fact that literally nobody on this board agrees with the amount of weight you are putting on the Rocky Top league not tell you something? And B Mazes answer doesn't necessarily mean the Rocky Top league is strong. It could mean that their are a couple who aren't ready for the SEC but why call them out publically.

But that would be another way of thinking and you clearly aren't into that.

EASILY DONE, MY FRIEND! First off you conveniently said an average 10% increase when it was 8.3% difference. You will notice that those who played the most during the regular season had the least difference. McRae's was 1%, Hubbs was 4%, and Richardson was 8%. That's an average difference of 4%. You take the three highest, those who played the least except for Thompson who never showed anything and the stats get inflated. Like the three highest average difference is 12%. Let's cut the real difference of 8.3% in half due to the fact that the 3 point line is 1 foot closer in the high school gym which comes out about 4%. To me that says uncontested 3 point shots are roughly the same whether in the RTL or the SEC unless you got nerves involved which you may not have in the RTL. Lot of factors to consider, huh? Since you like to bet so much, what you bet that Mostella and Punter don't do exactly in the SEC what the do in the RTL except maybe for a few % points difference with the 3?
