[QUOTE="FiveStar, post: 1504098, member: 603998"] I think most coaches nowadays aren’t enamored with the midrange jumper (even myself at the high school level included), but I guarantee you the elbow jumper in spread is one of the “good shots” the offense generates. Unless he changed his philosophy since his OSU/SFA days when I saw him in a clinic, when he has guys who can hit that they shoot it. There are read options for the second cutter based on how the high post man is defending the cuts. If he’s sagging into the paint, the second cutter should run a “brush screen” to kind of pin the defender so the elbow pass can be thrown and a jumper there an option. The other option for the second cutter is a hard flare screen (usually on a special call, he calls it flare so nobody knows what’s coming for sure lol) so the high post guy can pop back a bit to create more space and shoot the shot or drive on the closeout. A good shooter can pop the flare all the way to the 3. This reply isn’t to you specifically just to expand on the midrange idea, and why people have become so against it. Nba stats incoming but they’re the best players in the world, so it kinda really makes the point. Within the last couple years, at the end of the nba season, I saw that the nba average on midrange jumpers was 44%. Because these are the best players in the world, we can assume that they’re better than college players but ill round up to 45% for clean numbers. average midrange shooter @ 45%= 45/100 = 90 points for 100 shots great midrange shooter (think Michael Jordan) shoots about 50%. 50/100= 100 points per 100 shots. average 3 point shooter who you’re gonna be okay with shooting a 3: 30-33%. Let’s go low, 30/100= 90 pts per 100 shots. A low average 3 point shooter is even with an average midrange shooter. a good 3 point shooter is giving you 40+%. 40/100=120(!!!) points per 100 shots. so you can step back 2 feet, sacrifice 4-5 percent shooting, and still increase your points per 100 shots by 1/3. You really kind of have no choice. [/QUOTE]
