    Are you telling me that you can't tell the instant you let your shot go if it felt right, looks right, and is likely to go in?

    95% of my 3s feel good.

    I also don't miss long because I have a soft touch with good backspin and a high arc. So even if I miss short, I'm not gonna get the rebound.

    Which is why my shooters retreat.

    I also think there is some simple miscommunication here. Some people may be thinking shoot and immediately follow. That's not what I'm saying.

    No. I didn't play my Sophomore year because I didn't want to live in Tri Cities, I found myself a girlfriend in Vancouver, and my knees kinda went to shit.

    The team had 2 players return and went from 4th in a 33 team league to last. The coach was a player's coach and I probably would've gotten the shots to score 15-20ppg for the shitty team, and earn a scholarship somewhere, but I didn't go back.

    Now I'm 20 pounds heavier and am player local men's league. I may try to play at a school in Portland the season after next (2018-2019), but I think I'd be a Junior since I took two years off after my freshmen season (I think athletes can only play in a 5-year window). I also don't know how my college benefits transfer to an Oregon school.

    I follow all of my shots with a beer-back.

    Doesn't apply to shot clock pressure though....CJ has a tendency to follow his shot sometimes. Stotts does not value offense rebounds over transition defense...for a poor defender, it's probably not as important.
