Looks like Moretti is physically dominating DGL.
Clearly the biggest and saddest takeaway from this is Dain losing the dragon horn hairdo.
It wouldn’t hurt Goode either. His percentage was in the mid 60s last I knew.

It doesnt matter how many they shoot each day if their technique/form isnt correct.

Did Rick Berry use the right technique
He's a career 75% shooter...on eight attempts.
It's a white out game
If he was a UNC or Arizona forward playing in an NCAA tourney game against Illinois, he would have that many attempts in the first 5 minutes.
Well, I stand corrected then. (I know he was out forever with the injury, and he’s more of a spot up guy rather than a scorer/even a slasher…but I’m surprised he doesnt have a few more attempts than that total.)

He did. If he hadnt he would have missed more. It doesnt matter if it is overhand or underhand there is a right way & a wrong way. Thats why pro teams have a shooting coach & a free throw coach. The Mavs had the same free throw coach for years and were always around 80%. Then they decided they didnt need 2 coaches & they are horrible right now, 25th place in the league last season.
It's not like he's played a ton of minutes, which is part of it as well.Well, I stand corrected then. (I know he was out forever with the injury, and he’s more of a spot up guy rather than a scorer/even a slasher…but I’m surprised he doesnt have a few more attempts than that total.)

You don't want to just brush this one off. Will it be shown on YouTube?
Goode was 2 for 2 last year and 4 for 6 as a freshman so 75% in 2 years but it's an incredibly small sample size(Just like RJ shooting 60% from 3 as a freshman). His shot looks good though so I don't have any questions about his ft shooting ability plus his play style will never create a ton of free throws.
To put that in perspective Harris was 4 for 20 and Rodgers was 12 for 31. Not huge sample sizes but still absolutely atrocious.

Well, the original Twitter post said TRAIN, DEVELOP, repeat, so I'm giving the coaching staff the benefit of the doubt that they are attempting to coach these guys up beyond telling them "shoot 10,000 FT's, I'll see you tomorrow". We'll see if they show any ability as a staff to improve something that was pretty subpar overall.

A very well coached team that has won the conference 5 straight years, and made 4 NCAA tourneys in a row (sans the covid cancel).
#1 in 3point % in the country last year. Not your everyday cupcake game.
This is where I'm at. Without a seasoned PG, this is going to be a bumpy ride. If we bring one aboard and have a guy that can steady the ship and make the right plays... especially late in games, we're going to be pretty good.
Not to play the "what if" game, but if Shannon doesn't go nuclear vs Texas and UCLA....we were probably the top seed in the NIT with the best case being in the play in game. Those two wins kept us above water all year long. Part of the issue was being a complete mess ball handling, getting the offense set with more then 5 seconds on the shot clock, getting our scorers the ball in scoring position and making the right play at the end of games.
