From youth leagues to the NBA, the three-point shot is a game changer in basketball.<\/p>\n

Stars such as Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors have altered the game with their stunning shooting range and efficiency, making three-pointers seem like wide-open layups. The NBA has caught the three-point bug \u2014 all 30 teams are averaging over 30 three-point shot attempts per game<\/a> for the first time in league history.<\/p>\n

As the professionals continue to fire away from beyond the arc, the City Colleges of Chicago basketball teams are seeking a different approach during the 2021-22 season. CCC teams have averaged only 16.6 three-pointers per game this season, down from over 20 per game during the previous three seasons and the lowest average since 2016-17. The recent reduction in threes is part of a leaguewide effort to take higher quality, close-in shots and buck the nationwide trend of relying on three-point shots to win games.<\/p>\n

One positive of the decrease in three-point shot attempts is proving to be an increase in shooting percentage. The six teams in Chicago\u2019s junior college league are shooting at a 32.08% rate this season, the highest three-point percentage over the league\u2019s last nine seasons.<\/p>\n

Olive-Harvey College head coach Brandon Moore has seen the three-point wave sweep across the junior college circuit during his 16 seasons coaching in Chicago. During Moore\u2019s playing days in the late-1990s, only a select few players on each roster attempted three-pointers. Now, nearly every player has the long-range shot in their arsenal.<\/p>\n

\u201cA three-pointer has become a very makeable shot for people,\u201d Moore said. \u201cI come from a time when the only people that could make threes could shoot threes. Now everybody shoots threes.\u201d<\/p>\n

During Moore\u2019s first year as head coach in the 2015-16 season, Olive-Harvey jacked up over 23 three-pointers per game. This year, they average under 14 per contest. Quality and personnel are key factors in the team\u2019s shift away from the three-point line.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal is to take the best shot possible every possession, whether it\u2019s a three or a dunk,\u201d Moore said. \u201cI haven\u2019t had the shooters that I\u2019ve had in the past lately. Instead of just shooting threes because that\u2019s the norm, I\u2019m going to play to the strengths of who I have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similar sentiments were shared by Wilbur Wright College\u2019s first-year coach Carlos Thomas, who took over a team that averaged 26.61 three-point shots per game over the last two seasons. This year, Wright attempts only 10.33 per game, the lowest of any Chicago junior college team since 2016-17.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m more focused on the quality of the shot,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cI don\u2019t have the high quality three-point shooters across the board that I would like to shoot a high volume of threes, so we need to play to our strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both coaches credit defenses across the league for this season\u2019s decline in three-point attempts and the shift in offensive strategy. At Olive-Harvey, Moore teaches his players to defend with their heels on the three-point line, forcing shooters to take deeper shots. Thomas takes a more analytical approach at Wright to defend the perimeter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe try to identify who the best shooter is, based on the percentages,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cWe want to get a hand up on every shot that player takes, and we don\u2019t want that player to take wide-open shots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though the City Colleges of Chicago have found more success shooting fewer three-pointers this season, the deep shot is here to stay in basketball. Both Moore and Thomas expect junior college coaches to target more three-point shooters in upcoming recruiting cycles as the game continues to evolve.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe evolution of the game is the three-point shot. The game is not as physical, and there\u2019s not as much contact,\u201d Moore said. \u201cI think you\u2019re going to see the three-point shot continue to grow even farther than it is right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
