I know this subject has been discussed before and I have had the theory that Indiana's shooting has struggled since Cliff Marshall was hired as our strength and conditioning coach, so I decided to do some digging.

According to the stats I pulled, Cliff Marshall was hired for the 2017 - 2018 season and our shooting numbers have been down in basically all three shooting categories every year, especially in 3-Point % and Free Throw%, since he has been on the staff. Do our shooting woes have some correlation with how these kids are working out? I follow Marshall on Twitter (X) and he is always sharing body transformation pictures and I must admit, they are very impressive, but is it hurting their shooting touch or is this just an odd coincidence? Thoughts?
