2019-20 Season Notes

Even with virtually no one returning, he thinks we're better than Minnesota & Northwestern.  That's scary for those two teams.

 
Let’s talk about this “4-point line.” Hoiberg put down blue tape about 5 feet back from the 3-point line. I think it is genius. Nebraska runs every set from the 4-point line (or in transition), and the team actually has to redo a set if it doesn’t. It is not only designed to create more space when initiating, but it is also made to condition guys to come off a ball screen or a handoff to have enough time to set up for a shot behind the 3-point line. Usually, in a set run at the top of the key, the quick jumper would be from 15 feet. But — as coaches will now tell you — that’s the most inefficient shot in basketball. So, now, instead, the quickest shot off a screen is a 3. Which is what Hoiberg wants. The 4-point line could create some bad habits with guys taking long 3-pointers, but it could also help Nebraska’s range. Which needs to happen anyway.
