The team that doesn't play defense. Aka Run-and-gun could look at the old Layola Marymount teams who had success with it in the 80s

Next next season: "The Team that doesn't shoot."

“The team that doesn’t play”

"The team that doesn't teams"

Unless u have Michael Jordan then u can shoot tons of middys 😂

I had his brother as my math teacher

Jordan's game is obsolete in today's game.

@@ibashcommunists6847 No he’d hit middys like DeRozan, get to the rack and get fouled. Either he’d finish like Kyrie, make contact layups, or knockdown FTs bc he was a lethal free throw shooter. Also could pick off passing lanes like De’Aaron Fox and had huge hands like Kawhi. He could literally drop 30 a game today without a 3. He could do even more if he practiced the 3 more nowadays, but I’m not gonna get into hypotheticals. Slashers and sharpshooters are still relevant in today’s game idk whatchu talkin bout 🤣 plus he brings good defense to the table

@@jaboy8603 incorrect. He doesnt have the skillsets of kyrie. Doesnt have a euro, doesnt have a floater. Jordan in the 90s would struggle in today's game plus analytics would absolutely destroy jordan's game.

Can’t blame him for leaving the Mac, the fan bases and athletic support is awful

Same, I knew when he left that was the end of successful UB basketball.

I was watching a pistons game the other day and Bojan was open for a mid range off an inbounds play and instead of shooting the deep middie immediately he took a dribble back to the three line.

He wan’t been a Defensive guy since VCU

@@jacobreddington2899 At Texas, his team's defensive efficiency was better than their offenses every year but the last one when they were basically tied.

@@ra2bk interesting, they didn’t seem that good on defense

they suck

*rockytop intensifies*

roll tide

I mean, until the last possession it's still good to get the most possible points per possession. There isn't that much less variance shooting a 2pt jumper (say 40% vs. 36%). So you're not really minimizing risk much. In a 1 point game with 10 seconds left? Sure. Take a mdrange jumper at the higher chance to make it. Although your team shooting and practicing taking 3s so often probably eliminates most of the difference in difficulty.

@@ra2bk All midrange shots aren't alike, nor are all 3 pointers. A wide open 10 foot shot in the hole in a defense that is focused on protecting the rim and guarding the 3 point line should be a 60% shot, which is 1.2 points per possession, which is equivalent to a 40% 3 point percentage, better than just about any college or NBA team is going to shoot on a sustained basis . It's certainly a better points per possession play that a small guard driving it all the way to the basket and trying to finish over a big defender. Alabama's smaller guards like Sears and Quinerly turn the ball over too much because they pass up a 10 foot floater to get their shot blocked at the rim, pick up a charging foul before they get to the rim, or commit a turnover because they get caught in the air and try to make a pass out to the 3 point line. An open 10 footer isn't the same thing as a contested 17 footer. Any theory can be taken too far. I think players should be working on the 10-15 foot shots in the middle of the defense and small guards should learn to shoot the 6 to 8 foot floater in space instead of driving all the way to the basket when there's a defender there.

@@Don-md6wn I agree not all midrange shots are alike and I was generalizing, but floaters are generally NOT good shots. National NCAA average on floaters was 35%. You really might as well take a 3 in that case. If you're wide open, sure, but you're rarely taking a wide open floater... otherwise you wouldn't be floating it at all (by definition a shot designed to arc over defense) and/or you'd just drive all the way to the rim if you had a clear path. Instead of floating, you could pull-up, which is better, but an off the dribble pull up midrange shot is again not a good shot. The act of pulling up off the dribble makes it much tougher. Attacking the rim adds the good chance of getting fouled, which is so efficient that it's worth a couple blocked shots as a tradeoff (you may make the shot if not blocked or recover the block oreb anyways). But again, this is all in theory and every single play is different. The best are able to process in real time what the best option is based on the positioning of the defense, etc.

You hate the shot that wins championships?

Easiest ≠ best

@@derekyoungman3895 it’s about efficiency, when the defense close out the three and defends the rim the best shot is the midrange. To say we don’t shoot midrange anymore is same idiotic bs like saying we don’t shoot free throws anymore. To limit your options on offense is dumb, defenses can adjust easy to it especially in the playoffs.

@@ImadogGarcia nah you’d be surprised. Forcing a 3 is still usually better than an open middy

@@derekyoungman3895 i saw a statistic a couple of weeks ago that in college basketball alone , a “contested” 3 point jumper had a higher average fg% than an open deep midrange

Underrated comment my friend 💯. Passing up a good look mid range jumper (that isn't a deep mid range jumper) is often the better option than a contested three or passing up that look in order to create a perfect look three point shot, which will be hard to create versus good defensive teams 💯

That must have been bad lol

He learned that the midrange wasn't working, so he adapted to the 3 pointer. That's what great coaches do, they adapt and make changes to their system. You get left behind if you can't make adjustments.

Facts they they weren’t missing I swear

And Timme was also doing well scoring under the basket which caused Bama to defend inside harder which gave them more room for the midrange. I was in the front row at that game and I swear they couldn't miss.

and now shooters are so good they dont need to get into the packed paint to shoot undefended consistently soooo it would still be "boring"

@@ygkemosabi8280 actually no, because when teams come out to defend them, they will need to try to go by them rather than shoot contested 25 footers...no line would benefit the most creative players with moves to score against straight-up defense instead of just watching guys straight line drive against frantic close-outs...

@@gabrielantonio3418 from "pack the paint" to "go out and defend all 5 guys" because everyone in the league can shoot now is quite the contradiction...

No, this team is. Watch the video

I wish Alabama would hire their head coach. Our women's team is meh.

of the rockets maybe....

I wonder, great question

It completely change the game

I hope not

@@breadandcircuses8127 yawn trolll

@@breadandcircuses8127 Michael Jordan was posting efficiency numbers on par with Shaq during his prime lol. 58.0% true shooting in Chicago compared to the 53.6% league average. People lie; numbers don’t lol.

Like the OU game January 28 (ALA 66 OU93). Turnovers and rebounds were equal. FG% ALA 37.9 OU 57.6. 3PT% ALA 27.3 (6-22) OU 69.2 (9-13) [9 fewer and 3 more]. In the loss to UCONN, there was a period where ALA had 1pt in almost 5 minutes to UCONNs 12 (14 pt lead with 4:06 remaining and lost by 15)

most rebounds end up being long rebounds though when you shoot 3s, alabama is actually number 15 in offensive rebounding this year

@@ThomasMichaud If any teams runs into somebody that shoots 58% from the field and 69% from 3, more than likely they will lose, regardless of the style of play. The key to running this style of offense is defending at a high level to be able to weather an off shooting night. If you don't defend, then yes, you can and likely will lose. 2020-2021 Alabama defended at very high level and won the regular season and conference tournament and entered as a 2 seed in March. 2021-2022 Alabama did not defend at a high level and limped in as a 6 seed and trending down. We all see what this year's team looks like. Alabama will typically score points, so their long term prospects will depend on defense. When it is all clicking, it is the most exciting brand of basketball in the country and I don't think it is all that close.

normally, yes. but alabamas defense is so elite that even when theyre on a cold streak they never really get blown out. (with a couple of exceptions) oats has been running this system for the last 3 years. 2 years ago bama also had an elite defense and this system worked to perfection. last year, their defense was average and they were not nearly as good. this system basically relies on a good defense. when they have it (such as this year) bama is a team that is difficult to beat when their shooting is average, and impossible to beat when they are shooting well

Man what are you talking about lol? we beat y'all by 15 at y'all's place in January. We play y'all again in Tuscaloosa on FEB 25. you got your dates n crap all wrong

Arkansas just lost at home to Mississippi St and that guy looked terrible haha. Bama has bigger goals than you.

I didn’t say that Arkansas would win… I just said it’ll be interesting to watch. Relax fellas. Bama is the best team in the SEC this year so far and that’s not up for debate!

Man don't listen to these fools. I hope Alabama wins, but Arkansas won't be the team we saw in Bud Walton is Nick Smith Jr plays. Alabama-Arkansas will be close per usual. Musselman and Oats is a really good coaching matchup. Arkansas is dangerous as always. If Nick Smith Jr is back, Alabama's going to have their hands full underneath.

Only 3 losses with that murderous schedule. Would beat Gonzaga 7/10. Time for you to play Pacific Beach State.

@@morehamsandwich we already did, how many sweet sixteens have you been to?

Ha. You must like those 45 point Stone Age games.

@@morehamsandwich I did grow up watching 80's & 90's NBA and I'm glad I did.

I dont think you can get rid of 3 point shots

How a about we play post offense

@@jmgonzales7701 it's only worth 2/3 value.

@@jmgonzales7701 sure it can be done but very unlikely of course. i'm old enough to remember hoops before the 3pter. it was better. today's shooters have gotten a lot better than than the hoops gods ever anticipated. maybe a 4 pter is coming.

@@t.balognavich221 i mean what would be the incentive to remove 3 pt shots? as a player of football (both) i do enjoy lower scoring games more and i do think our scoring is very inflated but i doubt we can remove the 3 point line.

He’s in the final 4 right now
