Lots of players would like to be able to
increase their shooting range and become a good 3-point shooter. We all know of
examples of players, like Robert Horry, who
are recruited to join teams mostly because of their ability to make 3-point

win championships.
Coaches like Rick Pitino used
the 3-point shot to revolutionize the game and propel his coaching career.
