Actually, if you want to get anecdotal let's get anecdotal because I have a story that applies here.Well this explains your delusion. Parents and coaches of kids sports are absolutely jaded by what they see.Lots of reasons My daughter plays, good friend of the coach. Two other girls living next door play and we have a goal and they are around shooting hoops most evenings.Why do you know so many high school girls?
When I was in college I wasn't nearly good enough to play college basketball but I played pickup or intramurals almost every day. I wasn't fast, and couldn't rebound or play defense with anybody good, but I could shoot. For example, junior year I took second place in the three point competition for my entire college (which included the guys on the basketball team). In grade school I always made it to like the third of fourth level of the Knights of Columbus free throw tourneys. I always had my own "goal" at my house or a hoop in walking distance of my dorm. In sum, I'd be confident I could give a really good high school girl shooter a run for her money in an uncontested shooting contest. Anyway, during the summers in high school and college I worked as a day counselor for an inner city youth program (basically I was paid to hang out and play games with kids all day and take them to activities). One of those activities was a basketball camp with 76ers great Darryl Dawkins. For fun, Dawkins challenged a few of us counselors to a three point contest. I thought I could maybe take him. I mean he was wearing casual loafers and had been retired for ten plus years. Plus it was obvious he was barely trying. I hung with him for a few rounds but then, when he decided to try just a little bit, he demolished me. He must have made like ten in a row. Keep in mind, this was an outdoor city court with double-rims and a chain for a net.
In Dawkins' accomplished pro career he attempted 15 threes and made 2 of them.
