Everyone up in arms about stats and percentages from the top players. Much to consider. They are expected to take the most shots. They are often the ones who are heavily guarded and have the most contested shots. Even with lower percentages, their coaches are going to make sure they get the ball, run plays through them and get many shots up to give the team the best chance to win. Everyone knows the top players and if you look at current stats they are taking anywhere from 60-100 shots more than any other player on their team and yes, with lower percentages due to other team structuring defense so they don’t get the ball. These are your high volume shooters and exoercted to shoot it We need to lay off Denny. He’s young and he’s the one they want to shoot.
Waynesville, Oakwood, Carlisle and Franklin have the most experienced/top coaches in SWBL and why these teams are all in contention for league title. They understand who needs to be shooting and they get ball in their hands no matter the percentage. These boys don’t shoot, they don’t usually win. They may have lower percentages but they earn every point more than the rest. All the percentage talk
