NOTE***- At one point I say that a 75% free throw shooter will miss one 56% of the time and make both 44% of the time. These numbers were said backward. He will make both 56% of the time and miss one 44% of the time. My apologies for the confusion.

In Episode 25 of The Help Side: Basketball Coaching Strategy and Analytics podcast, we have made it to Episode 25! I had decided when I started this podcast that if I ever made it to 25 episodes, the 25th would be about whether or not to foul while up 3. So thats what we did. First we do our basketball roundup, where we talk about the beginning of the NBA season as well as whats going on in college basketball. Then we combined the analytics section and the strategy session into one deep dive segment as to both sides of the foul or not foul while up 3 argument. The discussion is both analytical and strategy based so it made sense to combine it all into one segment. The podcast did cut off towards the end, but we are just about to wrap up when it cut. 

If you haven't been to the website yet, visit thehelpside.com to see more coaching content. And probably more exciting, we have launched a YouTube channel called The Help Side. On this channel I will be doing play breakdowns, where I take a play from a college or NBA game and break down the play basically frame by frame to what each team did and what they could have done better. Please comment on those videos and let me know what you see and we can have a discussion and learn from each other!
