Default Re: Why don\'t coaches understand fundamental math?

[ QUOTE ]
If you'd like another example. Consider a basketball game in the bonus with 30 seconds left on the clock. The team with possession of the ball is trailing by 4. Does anyone else on this forum think the best shot to take (given a team of standard skill distribution) is a 3-pointer?

[/ QUOTE ]

edit: pps is points per shot

there are players whose pps is high enough that they should be electing to take the best shot available, rather than shoot a 3.
