Interesting College Basketball Observation

[AMBy]

Why is it that when a team plays on a court in which both the pro and college 3 point lines are on the court they end up shooting many more deep 3 pointers from beyond the pro 3 point arch?

To me it seems like a no brainer...don't take that shot. Don't even stand out that far to even be confused by the 3 point lines....

It's not because they are confused by the college/pro 3....it's to impress NBA scouts.

Believe I saw a study a while back that in games that have the NBA 3 point line on the floor, shooting percentages from deep are much worse.

So they don't do a great job of impressing the scouts, in other words.

Herman you are one smart cookie! By the way, you still use your patented "bunny hop" approach when you shoot the 3ball?

I haven't shot a basketball since that day. Before that day, it had been probably 3 years.
