Basketball has seen a major evolution in the past few years with the increasing prominence of the “stretch 4”. A big man who can step out and hit three pointers has become more important than ever with team needing to space the floor. The new emphasis on putting the best five players on the court regardless of position and shooting lots of three pointers has made shooting about the most important skill a player can have.
Cougar coach Ernie Kent appears to be lurching in this direction as he is reported to be pursuing junior college big man Shandon Goldman.
