@rick4bama you were asking about offensive numbers.
When was the last time you had two guys that shot over 40% from behind the arc?
It would take a DEEP dive. If we started looking at efficiency numbers it's a top 50 team in the last quarter of a century. If not longer.
That's 8000 to 16,000 teams.
I'm not making these numbers up. I posted a thread about this a month or so ago...look it up.

I think that was Trelly ... when they reviewed the shot at the commercial break.

That is incredible statistical picture....
And dont waste a bunch of time getting ball in air...
So glad days of passing and passing til last seconds of shot clock...turning down good shots and having to take a bad one...

Remember the old days of Dale Browne at LSU before the shot clock? Boring as Hell.

I LOVED that offense...but, let's not forget to give a nod to McLendon.

Name a better example of a team controlling the pace of a game. Dictation.
Everyone credits Dean Smith; some point to Princeton. But, it was McLendon at UNC Central who "invented" the 4 corner stall.

With national title rings on their resume.
Juxtaposition. You love the idea of a 10 minute drive, four yards and a cloud of dust, to seal a ball game. But, take that to the hardwood?

Yep.
Passing bball around for 7-8 minutes is pathetic
Never a dean smith fan. Bball is a fun game to watch. He made it unbearable
Thus. Shot clock
Yep. A 7-8 minute drive in football to seal a win and bash in ur opponent is a thing of beauty.

You say that...but I'll bet you this. You haven't seen the frustration on a defense like the 4 corners brings. We saw teams just give up.
On one hand you appreciate "Make their ass quit" but in basketball, when they made them quit, you didn't like it?
I know...going back to high school days...but the team I played on kept the ball away from Coosa the entire game playing 4 stall. Loved it as the PG. We lost...but good lord, that was fun.

Never played against it...not anywhere...ever...
Bama up 20...they still blasting away...thats fun
Really. Football n bball are different...hard to understand any analogy
But....some people chocolate...some like vanilla...

Staring down competition. In the eye.
It was the Harlem Globetrotters in a suit and a tie.
