Inbounds plays - would love to see a stat

[PurpleThreadCred]

In and of itself FT% is more important...I agree.  But when you put poor FT shooting on top of no points from inbound plays and throw in poor execution of offense and transition....you lose a lot of scoring.  I'm nitpicking with this, but it seems so easily correctable.  Inbound plays really aren't that hard to learn.  One of these days our little lob in thing is going to cost us too. 

I'm not trying to be a Frank basher by starting this thread.  Frank is the best thing to happen to KSU hoops since the 80s.  To me it just baffles me why we wouldn't try to score off some of these sometimes.  We have guys we can lob to and we have some good shooters.  Why not try to take advantage?

We spend practice time playing defense and not learning an offense.  Who has time to learn inbounds plays?

We have good shooters? Hmmm...

I'm sick of this talking point and don't think its all that good.  Quite often we get great position in the post from our inbounds plays and the secondary action that occurs after the ball is inbounded.  I guess people aren't happy unless were throwing alley oops?

I guarantee we lead the Nation in "over the line" infractions after made baskets.  I'm guessing most teams have zero of these per season, we get a handful per.  It could probably be called a handful of times per game, obviously this is not an officiating "point of emphasis".

Re: inbounds "plays".  Ours just start after the ball is inbounded (i.e. from the spot where the inbound pass is caught, rather than from the actual guy inbounding the ball)....right???
