Fouling a 3 point shooter

[BULLET VOL]

Do we lead the country in this stat?

 

[A.J.]

I wouldn’t be surprised. They got it out of the way early in this game. Hope thats the only one tonight. Glad it wasn’t a 4 point play at least.

It could have possibly been a 6 point play

Heck, it could have been a seven point play if we tried hard enough.

I do wonder though if it’s worth it to eat some free throws if the aggressiveness means our opponents are generally shooting well below their average.

Fair but some of them have been flat out dumb, like Cade’s tonight.

Yeah for sure. “Surely they’re not going to call *all* contact” aren’t words you want to be living by, either. I don’t mind getting right up to that edge though and let the refs tell us where it is on any given night.

I agree. Tonight Cade was late getting out and had zero chance of affecting the shot. He closed out poorly and that foul ended up being the difference. It didn’t cost us the game of course but those points mattered in a 2-point game.
