Nice Job KSL
I don't think they hire editors. See the link:
http://www.ksl.com/?sid=33200429&nid=85 ... ss-extlink
It says that David Collette has hit 88 of his 161 3-pt attempts for a 55%. I'm pretty sure he has only attempted a few on the year.
Later is says that since beginning of conference play USU has banked 55 of 108 3 pt.attempts. I wonder if our players call glass every time they bank a 3 pointer, if not it shouldn't be counted.
Last paragraph says in addition to its 'luck' on the 3 point line. Why can't they give credit for skill but must call it luck?

Re: Nice Job KSL
LOL! Where are they getting these stats? I guess Collette has 264 points this year just from his 3 point shooting. They're only off by 258 points. Collette is actually 2-6 on the year.... pretty close to 88-161 I guess.
What in the WORLD???

Re: Nice Job KSL
Just did a little more research. If Collette really had made 88 3-point shots this year that would make him the national leader in 3 point makes. The current leader is a guy by the name of Tyler Harvey from Eastern Washington who is 86 for 175 so far this year. He is averaging nearly 24 points a game.
Also: If he really were shooting 55% for the year he would be the 2nd best 3-points shooter in the nation.
I wonder what kind of universe this guy is writing these articles from. Wherever it is, that's pretty awesome for Collette.

Re: Nice Job KSL
Did he look at the team stats instead of Collette's stats? KSL has written some shody articles just over the past few months. A few times I try to write comments to let them know the mistakes and my comments always get denied.

The team is 133 for 336 from threes. I have no idea what he was looking at.donlarson8 wrote:Did he look at the team stats instead of Collette's stats?

Re: Nice Job KSL
According to Collette's stats on ESPN his total field goal percentage was 88/160 for 55% through the Air Force game. I guess the KSL "reporter" doesn't know the difference between field goals and 3-pointers.treesap32 wrote:The team is 133 for 336 from threes.

Presumptuous and ill-informed.

Re: Nice Job KSL
I thought it was common knowledge that field goals are 3-pointers. Touchdowns are 6-pointers. Free throws can be worth either 1 or 2 points depending on how you attempt them. Obviously Collette is 88/160 when kicking field goals for the basketball team. This should be great news for us fans of the Utah State Jazz.donlarson8 wrote:It seems very likely that they don't know the difference.Dwigt wrote:According to Collette's stats on ESPN his total field goal percentage was 88/160 for 55% through the Air Force game.
