It’s not possible to get open three’s with HCBS
It’s not in his DNA. He’s all about the system. Period
He cut his teeth on the high/low. All the tutelage He has received has been play strong defense and pound the ball inside. The three is viewed more like a hail marry, or trick play. Only used to confuse and keep the defense honest so the ball can go back inside.
He doesn’t value the three. He’s called it fools Gold, and believes it should only come in the flow of the game. He doesn’t scheme for the shot unless the game is in the line. Kind of like a Hail Marry, or trick player.
HCBS prefers to run the offense before a 3 point shot is hoisted, meaning by then the shot will be contested. The offense is hurried as the clock is running down, and the defense is ratcheted up as they know the offense is running out of time.
I just don’t believe the three point shot is apart of the offense game plan. I think as fans we were bamboozled into thinking the three was apart of the game plan, as KU players were hitting them at such a high percentage. When in reality they just had the green light to shoot the three in the flow of the game if they became open. There was no scheme, rhyme, or reason for the shot.
There is no real offense ran in the system for the three point shot. The three is nothing more than a novelty item. Only to be used in the flow of the game and at the end of games when KU is losing. So how to get an open look three??? Well if your playing in HCBS’s system the answer is get lucky.
