Stormin's Passion for the Jump Pass...

Just thought I would share this, since I know Stormin loves the jump pass used by the Iowa pgs. I heard Coach say something on the pregame with Dolph and Bobby before the game about how he likes the effectiveness of Paynes jump pass, and how they use lots of them.

Just thought it was funny because I think it was the Purdue live chat that he went on his rant about it...

Why in the world is our staff teaching them this? I don't see any good that can happen from it!
 
It was hinted a little bit here:

While I think the jump pass has it's place, it's such a low percentage pass. A bounce pass can so very easily accomplish the same thing.

The one jump pass that just kills me is the baseline flying out of bounce, heave it cross court one. That one drives me bonkers.

Iowa uses the jump pass way too much. Way too much.
Interestingly enough, there wasn't much of it tonight... :/
 
It is about as highly effective as the jump pass ally-oop play at the top of key in the Tom Davis system.;)
