Shot 52 of 108 & 27 of 71 from 3.

[cuad]

lmao, I could score 138 if I jacked up 71 threes in one game.

Who is his coach to let this kid shoot that many times

[pauk]

Is there even time enough in a game for a single guy to take that many shots?

[Real Men Wear Green]

I'm not sure I could deal with playing with a guy that took 100 shots. Think about what that would be like.

[KG215]

Wait, this was in one game? How in the hell is it even possible for one player to get up 108 shots in one game? Who was he playing against?

[Rake2204]

Haha, this is spectacular. Grinnell strikes again.

If you are not familiar, I would suggest researching Grinnell College's system.

[IGotACoolStory]

Holy shit, my arm would fall off if I shot that many times in a game.

Unless I completely ignored the defensive aspect.

[StroShow4]

How the hell are you gonna score 138 points and not even shoot 50%?

[MetsPackers]

wow smh 71 threes? Guy must have beeb trying to score 100+ right out the tunnel

[outbreak]

Played 36 minutes. how the hell did that happen. His team scored 179 too lol.

[pauk]

Even Kobe would think that this was kindof selfish :)

For the uninitiated, here's at least a piece of what Grinnell shoots for:

It's a "run and gun" offense with offensive possessions often lasting only five seconds in duration (12 seconds at the most), usually resulting in a 3-point shot. Grinnell tries to get over 100 shots per game and over 50 - 60% of those as 3-point shots. They crash the offensive boards with four rebounders, going for the long rebound off missed 3-point shots.

Defensively, Grinnell full-court presses the entire game, using several press defenses, forcing the tempo, trying to create turnovers. They usually force about 28 turnovers per game, but their goal is 32. These forced turnovers often result in easy baskets in transition. Half-court defense is not a huge priority... opponents may score in the half-court, but Coach Arseneault believes his team can simply out-score them using their offensive system and their press defenses.

Of his 15 players, Coach Arseneault will typically have 4 - 6 squads of five players (various 5-player combinations) that he uses. He will substitute five new players every two minutes or so, keeping fresh legs in the game at all times, wearing the opponent down by the end of the game. Many players will get playing time and no-one plays the entire game. You will need two or three good point-guards who can score, otherwise forget this system.

There's a high school coach around my way who runs the system, but with much less success. His team shot 4% from the arc on like, 50 attempts against my brother's school.

[Money 23]

Honestly, if I shot that much ... regardless of scoring 138 points, on less than 50% shooting.

I'd feel utterly embarrassed for alienating teammates. I'd feel selfish just looking at the score board.

[irondarts]

Here's the box score. lol.
