Haase has never believed in screens for shooters. A mystery but certainly the answer to our average or less three point shooting.
Great play by Angel Must be the Torrey Pines background :)
When teams switch on screens - which is now becoming almost universal - the notion that you can get shooters open just with screens is antiquated. Does it still happen? Sure, on occasion. Should Stanford screen more than it does to try and free up a shooter? I'd say yes (mainly because I think "mixing up offensive looks" is a good thing). But I also believe that a drive and kick is far more likely to lead to an open outside shot than is some guy running along the baseline rubbing off screens. Even Dartmouth, last night, got most of its open trey looks from drive and kicks (notable exception was baseline inbounds under the hoop play where guard rubbed off multiple screens on way to corner for a monstrous corner trey - that was one helluva play and clutch shot, and the defender closed reasonably well on it, but the rubs freed him up just enough). At least that's my recollection.
