Go to the last 1:45 of the video to specifically hear him discuss this.
He seems to believe its kind of a luck stat. I admittedly havent researched it much. Whats your take on this?

Him believing it is a luck stat would explain why his teams have been poor at defending it.

Kind of looking for opinions on those not biased against Wade. Run along.

Sorry but it's not a lucky stat when it happens every game.

Can't listen right now. What exactly do you mean by him saying it's a luck stat?
Posted on 2/10/20 at 3:08 pm to josh336
Without listening...
A lot of it is luck, one of the biggest stat swings game to game is 3 point shooting. There's a lot less variation in 2 point shooting and FT shooting even compared to 3 point shooting. You shoot 47% one game then 17% the next, not uncommon.
That being said, we suck at defending the 3 and the law of averages over the season agree with that. We simply do not guard close enough out on the perimeter and let bad guys get good looks and even bad guys will make them when you allow that so often.
So yes, he's not wrong 3 point defense is kind of a luck stat game to game. But over the course of a season 1 team that allows 36% 3 point shooting vs. one that allows 26% in the same league is clearly defending the 3 probably a lot worse than the 26% team.

He basically said its based on randomness, and not something necessarily that lsu is doing wrong. I guess i would liken it to hitting with runners in scoring position

Kinda like PM saying a hitting coach does nothing
He’s fricking wrong

Going back to his first Chattanooga team, opponents have shot between 33-35% on 3s, never ranking in the top 100. Yes there is some luck game to game shooting 3s, but overall there is a trend that his teams are not good at defending the 3.

Too loose, not contesting, and even worse is having to defend against penetration. They drive, kick, extra pass and they’ll get looks for days. Vandy having that guy who had never scored more than 16 go 7-9 was lucky but the way they penetrated and moved the ball around helped get those looks.

I think he's specifically referring to the broader stat and how it's calculated simply being the number of 3's made vs. number of 3's attempted.
There's enough variables in the relatively small number of three's attempted in a game that judging performance solely on the stat isn't accurate.

Our guys tend to be out of position and flat footed when it comes to guarding guys on the perimeter. Its not a coincidence that every team lights us up from outside or has guards that easily drive to the goal. Even when they get to the goal we let the score or commit a touch foul. If our guys just learned a few defensive fundamentals we’d be almost unstoppable.

Are there teams that regularly rank in the top 50 in the country in 3 pt defense? Think that would kind of disprove this
Posted on 2/10/20 at 3:13 pm to josh336
Auburn couldn't miss from 3
they were shooting better in the game than most teams do in practice

Gonna guess you’ll see the likes of UVA and TT up there. Opponents just get such great looks because we are terrible at defending the point of attack
Posted on 2/10/20 at 3:14 pm to josh336
While I think our perimeter D sucks, there’s no stopping that Auburn kid who was throwing up prayer 3’s and hoping for the best

Agreed. I think he is probably right that the dribble 3’s that guys like mccormick hit should only go in about 20% of the time. But the horse 3’s we give up are what bothers me coming off easy penetration into the lane
Posted on 2/10/20 at 3:17 pm to josh336
I agree it's based on randomness. But he is delusional if he thinks uncontested 3's are just as easy as heavily contested 3's with somebody in your face.

right. I've heard Wade speak to their inability to keep vandy out of the lane....not having enough of the right type of defenders. Being that a 2 pt fg is more consistent and reliable, he is hedging his bets by having our defenders give some space and lure them into the 3 point shot..............which is backfiring.
When Taylor went under two ball screen under twice in the final 1:30 of the AU game to give up an uncontested 3, I lost my shite. Why not chase the ball into the paint. If those two 3's were two pt fg's, we win by (you guessed it), two points
