Not so much strange, but unusual. I forgot the numbers, so everything is a guess, but Team A down by ~15 with less than 2 minutes left. They put in this kid who, well to be kind, looks like he has absolutely no athletic ability. They come down pass it to the kid who's wide open north of the 3 line (no defender is bothering covering him) and he launches one. Swish. Team B throw in, foul, miss free throws, again A down the court to the kid, swish. This happens at least 3 times. Now we have about a 4 or 5 point game with around 25 seconds. Someone calls timeout, and I hear the opposing coach instruct his kids to foul the guy -- or at least cover him! Team A lost, shooting for a tie at the end, I think, because the kid couldn't get open -- B had like 3 guys on him. I have no doubt the kid would have sunk one to win or tie!

Moral to coaches: get a kid with limited skills and during practice put him in a gym by himself with a manager doing absolutely nothing but shooting 3s for 2 hours a day. I might even hold tryouts for that job!
