When Flip Saunders rejoined Twitter earlier this month to express his love for the three-point shot, every Wolves fan was given an opportunity to resurrect an old debate about the head coach’s offensive game plan.
Rather than rehashing the same debate, I wanted to add some new data and analysis to it.
I started with an interesting blog post I ran across about at the shot selection of the 2014-15 Wolves done by Stephen Shea, Ph.D., who echoes Saunders’ critics in saying that it doesn’t matter if Flip likes or dislikes threes, his teams don’t shoot them.
