This is the dude that EVERY media member was laughing about being hired like 3/4 years ago. Oops.
He sure has a funny way of showing it considering Duke is 230th out of 350 in % of shots taken from 3 point range lol

This press conference was from a year or two ago. The video of it is hilarious.
This isn’t the NBA. In CBB, those analytics vary considerably from team to team based on personnel.
A corner 3 is not your best shot, if you have no good shooters.
A post-up is not your worst option if you have a 7-footer shooting 70%.
I really think you should look at these numbers over the course of decades, and not just this year. It’s the worst kept secret in the world that K likes to run a 4 out, 1 in offense.
K is adjusting to the players that he has this year.
I have a hard time believing that Marshall is in any way ahead of the game. They needed a world of luck yesterday. Their guard was literally jacking up the WORST shots you could take from distance. A ton of heat-check variety 28-30 footers.
That’s not due to some coach being ahead of the game lol.
Yes, his ‘chess moves’ look great when the shots are falling.
OTOH, his ‘chess’ netted 6 losses in a one-bid league.
Puts in perspective a coach who can win a P5 conference title running his O thru the nation’s FG % leader and then win the conference tournament without him.
Kansas won the big12 tournament jacking a ton of 3s off dribble penetration. Their offense was basically unguardable doing exactly what Dantoni described here.
What's easier to recruit, a dominant 7-footer or some good 3 point shooters? Especially if you're marshall
That’s a different argument. He was talking in absolutes, as if all rosters are roughly equal.
The answer to the reporter’s question, ‘should you go inside more?, is not a discussion about NBA analytics, but about his personnel.
