Most free throws?

[Rock Chalk]

it's just what is in the rule book.

a player is awarded 1 shot per multiple foul on a made or missed 2 point basket.

a player is awarded one foul shot per mulitple foul on a made 3 point basket and 2 foul shots per multiple foul on a missed 3 point basket.

so basically...you want to miss the shot because you can only score 8 points if you make the 3 pointer, but if you miss you can score up to 10 points. So when in the situation...tell your players to miss the shot.

my math is 11 (8 + 3) points - 3 for the first foul and 8 (4x2) for the other 4 fouls. (The first foul is not multiple, the next four make it multiple)

Nope. Having more than one makes them all part of the multiple foul.

Thank-you.

So a shooter tries a 3 and is fouled by 5 opponents simultaneously.

Missed:
0 points + possible 10 points [5 opponents * 2 shots/opponent] = 10 points maximum

Made:
3 points + possible 5 points [5 opponents * 1 shots/opponent] = 8 points maximum

Now, take into FTA% and 3FGA%. Most people shoot around 75% from the stripe. So, in case [missed], 0 + 10 * 0.75 = 7.5 points on average; and in [made], 3FGA% ~ 30% (agree?), which is 0.3* 3 + 5 * 0.75 = 0.9 + 3.75 = 4.65 points on average.

However, it comes down to a comparison between one's %ages.

Let x = % of FT
Let y = % of 3FG

[missed] 10x
[made] 5x + 3y

Break it down:
10x = 5x + 3y
5x = 3y
x = 3/5 y

if x > 3/5 y, then [missed] is better
if x < 3/5 y, then [made] is better
if x = 3/5 y, it is a wash

Edit: change the formula in italics. My excuse was that I was trying to leave work...

Geeze, I thought Padgett was the only one with too much time on his hands.

Are you referring to the fact that I wear fourteen watches?

I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's a picture of a bunny with a roll of toilet paper on his head.

[JugglingReferee]

At least you found a pic with the correct usage of "you're".

[Scrapper1]

That's just gross. In all honesty, I like the bunny with the pancakes better.

Know what? You're right. I deep-sixed that one.

Back to the bunnies........
