That's one of those truly stupid phrases that permeates sports. Like "walk off...." anything that ends a game. And a recent stupid term "physicality" when referring to a team that depends more on brawn than brains.
Anyway, yeah, it would be helpful, Coach Stoehr, if your players could just "score the basketball" on wide open layups, short chippy shots, and oh yeah, from the FT line too.
