Its been a long time but I did a deep dive into his math once and there was no chance that Pete took as many shots that would have been three pointers as dale claimed.


Pete was so driven to score he would try and get fouled on layups so he could get a three point play. He’d slow down on breakaways in hopes of drawing a foul.

There’s no doubt in my mind that he would have taken the challenge and shot threes a lot more than what watching replays of his old games showed.

maybe he would have taken more chances, but he wouldn't be making triple what the highest average ever is. for reference, there have been 19 times an ncaa player has made 12 or more 3s in a game in history. Pete would have needed to average 11 over his career for Dale's math to be right.
