Jack Taylor tops 100 points again

Why isn't Jack Taylor playing DIV 1 Ball?

He's a product of his system. Grinnell has a renowned approach to the game, the "Grinnell System," and they lead the country in scoring--all levels--nearly every year. They have a designated shooter on the court at all times--that is Taylor now. There are many things about the sytem that I love. It is the basketball equivalent of Chip Kelly's offense at Oregon last year.

I think they had another kid score 89 a few years ago.
 
Yeah but when they see a big game coming on for that player they stop playing defense and foul to stop the clock just to inflate his stats. That kinda sucks, no?

Defense is not a huge deal in this system. In fact, an uncontested layup is better than a shot-clock violation with them. Tough to wrap your head around, but it makes sense when you consider the long term effects playing that kind of pace will have over 40 minutes.
