Ralph Miller, the coach of the Oregon State Beaver hoops team from 1970-1989 favored a similar heavily pass-oriented offense. I think he cribbed it from Phog Allen. He hated to see his guards dribbling more than twice.

guess nba assistant pooh allen did it on national tv when shamgod was still in high school lol
“If you know Pooh,” Rozier said, “you know he’s going around showing people that clip.”
finally track down the penn coach who taught it to pooh and
O’Hanlon said he doesn’t remember when he first did “The Reach Across.” He was always trying to come up with new moves and discovered this one on his own and never saw anyone do it before him. “I did come up with that,” he said. “I didn’t steal it from anyone.”

looks like hes catching then adjusting so his hand is way on top and to the side of the ball then compensating for that weird placement by thumbing very intensely, good luck man

I don't think we're talking enough about how Victor Wembanyama is making floater 3-pointers a thing over in France. He's made multiple of these shots this season, and it breaks my brain every time he does it.

I know this sounds dumb but if you have the requisite strength and skill etc it doesn’t seem like a bad shot at all
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 4 January 2023 02:25 (one year ago) link
that's a runner not a floater imo
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 4 January 2023 02:27 (one year ago) link
imo its defining trait is that its a one legged shot, which when dirk popularized it with his turnaround people were like wow only dirk what a great shooter but we come to learn its a good shot in many situations so why not from three
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 4 January 2023 02:32 (one year ago) link
Still didn’t seem like a good shot cos youre moving towards the rim vs stationary up and down, adding another factor to screw up the shot. But it could be used to keep the defense off balance to set up other moves I guess
― im a beacon of light (Spottie), Wednesday, 4 January 2023 02:55 (one year ago) link
maybe a couple things that could be good about it is the big jump towards the basket is powerful making it an easier shot arms wise allowing for more touch, and also it could open up spots where a traditional jumper wouldnt work step through type moves and so forth, i dont have any idea if guys can hit it at a good enough rate to be worthwhile but i want to see them try
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 4 January 2023 03:00 (one year ago) link
you see guys shoot it sometimes when they dont have time to get a normal shot end of shot clock situations etc so on some level its a thing that makes sense to do
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 4 January 2023 03:03 (one year ago) link
yeah it's probably no worse than the stepback three as far as degree of difficulty; both are using some sort of movement to create space for the shot
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 4 January 2023 03:06 (one year ago) link

guys might be seeing plays where none exist like sure players are setting off ball screens and whatnot but i dont think theyre all going horns chicago floppy, past the initial action its prob more just read and react
― lag∞n, Thursday, 12 January 2023 20:19 (one year ago) link
those are some ok percentages but aside from steph theyre not great and more importantly its just the kind of shot that can turn to dust against a good prepared defense an already very difficult shot becomes impossible with a defender in yr face, if you want to take it at the end of the shot clock fine yr already kinda fucked whatever, could also step in and take a long two going towards the basket tho

relatedly in saw a clip of luka taking a catch and shoot three in the finals and it was so bad he just kinda flung it there was no intentional foot work going into the catch he looked confused, his game isnt normal

nba tracking data has luka as going 169-421 on step back threes this year which is 40.1%. i don’t see a leaderboard for this stat but obv a big improvement from 2021 and a rate that would’ve been way ahead of everyone in the league aside from stephin the playoffs this year luka was 38-118 on step back threes which is 32%in the finals he was 6-28 which is 21%i don’t think the exact link is working on my phone but if you go to his NBA player page and select “splits” and “shooting” and scroll all the way to “shot type detail” you’ll see it https://www.nba.com/player/1629029/luka-doncic/
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Monday, 24 June 2024 13:08 (three months ago) link
a lot of his game plays off the step back, guys jumping up on him and then he uses that to get in front of the guy and pin him on his back and then he’s going to the rim exactly how he wants etc. you see this happen all the time when he plays. it’s a fine line to where the threat stops being worth it bcuz the shots keep missing but at 40% in the regular season he was far above the red line so to speak. 32% is a diff convo, 21% is not one at all
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Monday, 24 June 2024 13:11 (three months ago) link
ah very nice thats a lot of data https://www.nba.com/stats/player/1629029/shooting
it declined from 39% to 34 in the mavs playoff run two years ago which is not that bad but idk i just feel like cant you find a better shot its not only difficult its also static iso offense, i think one reason he does it is compared to how he gets his other buckets its not that tiring
