Sample Case Study Analysis Paper 1: A Tale of Two Coaches Theresa M. Trejo Grand Canyon University: LDR 600 10/18/12 Sample Case Study Analysis Paper 1: A Tale of Two Coaches “ Great coaches flex their system, but not their philosophy.

This year Lebron did improve on this shot (from 31.5% to 34.4% from 3 point range), but many of his shots were when he was open. Teams play defense to force Lebronto try to make jump shots, but even then he’ll make some damage. Still, he is only slightly above average at the
First of all, Kobe Bryant holds the record for most three- pointers made with twelve in one game, on January 7th, 2003 vs. the Seattle SuperSonics. Hitting 12 threes is scoring 36 points from beyond the arc. For a shooting guard who isn’t known as a pure three point shooter like Ray Allen, or Rashard Lewis-- holding the record is an amazing accomplishment especially since Mr. Bryant had been 24 years old at the time.

I’m No Jordan Every single avid basketball fan yearns to be like Mike, young, old, rich, poor, tall, short, everyone. Michael Jeffrey Jordan now, 48 years of age and nine years away from the game he loved with the passion that drove him to harness raw talent and cultivate it every day until there was separation between him and every other superstar the game of basketball has ever seen. I wondered how I could be like that. The comparisons have been made by hundreds of sports analysts, former players, current players, Hall of Famers and even celebrities over the years as to who would be the next MJ and they all have different opinions leaving us without a conclusive “Air to the Throne”. And then there was Kobe.

Each sect of the shooting population has its own performing technique, but all populations are working towards the common goal, a championship title. The most significant ritual of the shooting population is the game. The object of the game is to outscore your opponent. Shooters earn points by throwing a bouncy, sphere into a small magical basket that is attached to an elevated board. The magical basket awards shooters points depending on where they are standing on the court.
Despite being bigger than receivers, tight ends seem to be very quick and versatile. Like I was saying before tight ends are faster than linebackers. So after the tight end has caught the ball he can out run linebackers. Tight ends also use their size advantage over cornerbacks to get yards after catch.
