Where's the coach?!

Nicholls State lost 20 games this year. Want to know why? Here is one reason. They took 38.7% of their shots from behind the arc, despite shooting only 31.7% as a team. Their tallest players were two 6-7 guys, so obviously they were hurting in the post. And yet the player who shot the most 3-pointers on the team was one of those 6-7 players. Now, that would not be too bad if he shot 40%, but he did not. He shot a paltry 30.3% from 3-point range, and yet the coach allowed him to blast away from the perimeter instead of being down underneath doing the dirty work that post guys ought to be doing. They deserved what they got.
