Wanna get out ahead of this and say that if you see locker room stuff after UNC wins and your immediate reaction is "I don't know why they're so happy, they only won by 8"….I'm judging you so hard your ancestors can feel it, and no, you don't want me to elaborate.

Naw I’m gonna elaborate, changed my mind: imagine seeing guys bust their asses all summer, win their first game, and your take is “don’t be happy cuz you didn’t win by enough.” What kind of stupid shit is that? Respectfully

The amount of seat-watching takes I’ve seen about the football game last night tells me it’s more than time for basketball season. My head hurts.

I hear the bots are gone…let’s test it out. Ahem. Drake’s music has been turbo buns since he got slapped around by Kendrick. Also, a glow worm runs this app. Finally….a lot of us were right about Russia and a lot of people owe apologies. ***waits***

Sigh….here’s the thing, guys. He’s not saying never take mid-range shots. He’s saying they don’t want to run plays to create mid-range shots. It’s analytically bad basketball. Let’s chill out there.
UNC coach Michael Malone: "We do not want to be a mid-range shooting team. Worst shot in basketball... We want to live at rim, the free-throw line, and get up a lot of threes."

This quote seems to be melting the internet so I think the key is talking through what this actually means. When constructing an offense as a coach, you should not be trying to CREATE midrange shots. Obviously though, sometimes the defense wins. And the best bailout can oftentimes be a midrange jumper. So if you’re a player (particularly shot creators who spend a lot of time on the ball), yes it’s valuable to have a midrange jumper. And yes, if you’re training players who are on-ball players, you should be helping them with that shot. It IS really important for those moments where offenses need bailed out. But midrange jumpers shouldn’t be the goal of what a coach is trying to create offensively.

Got a first look at Coach Malone's first team in Chapel Hill. Fast, deep, and they can protect the rim. @UNC_Basketball is built to play uptempo and it shows.
