****, I'd play ****ing walk up music through the gym speakers for each contestant, maybe even rustle up some dry ice for the entrance. then yall could listen to kid rock/hang on sloopy or whatever your shooting songs of choice were.

eta: we got a mic too, announcing the contestants is the only way to go

in addition, said school would also have wifi and multiple laptops/cameras to stream live to the masses...

nobody wants to come to the YO, but I'm just sayin'...

If you can get g10 to sign up, than its fine by me.

I'm already dreading 4 hours of driving. 7 might kill me.

After much thinking I have summed up my thoughts on the shot.

- IM fine with any shot that doesnt require jumping or hang time (as well as satisfying the below).

Im fine with all banks,
Im fine with having to face a certain direction on the court
im fine with having to swish(although this seems tricky and debatable)
i am fine with having to bounce the ball then having it go in
i am fine with left handed/one handed

I imagine if its going to be as theatrical as wiper said a small incentive pool could be raised

My biggest concern is that its a shot where we have to face away from basket, I would want to probably shoot leaning back from over head like a push, not under hand/pendulum like many people would prefer. If grear has explicitly in his first suggestion spelled out pendulum or a certain shot movement, I guess i am fine, I just dont want his strategy forced upon me if my shot still satisfies the original proposition.

Greer: "September 20 it is"

$20 says "it isn't". It will not happen that day…
Any takers???

Grear's shot is totally fine given your criteria.

i already know its going to be close to basket. he has to be something he can make 40+ times, in order to get a decent gain in net shots.

making 20 to my 10, is 10 shots but requires him to be 100% better than me, making 60 to my 50 only requires him being 20% better.

Custer, grear:

This is going to be a huge let down when the wager ends up a push.

edit: Custer wins HU, grear wins o/u

I just need to knock down 90/100 on the free throws and watch him struggle bus up some 3s

also g10, I say we get up to 15 practice shots before the 3 point contest. You will be sitting much shorter length of time since I will be doing free throws, then Ill wait for your threes to finish which will ice me longer. WE can each take up to 15 but also choose to start earlier.

What do you think?

I am fine with no practice on the secret shot.

I am still afraid my vertical will play a factor so I have orderd a pair of these. They have springs.
