If he scored 138 points, how many assist did his teammates have? Or was it mostly on isolation plays?

The system behind Jack Taylor's historic 138-point game for Grinnell | Yahoo! Sports



Wednesday morning the nation awoke to the story of Grinnell's Jack Taylor, the 5-foot-10 guard who scored an NCAA record 138 points in a college basketball game, which undoubtedly has evoked a collective, coast-to-coast, "Whaaaaaaaaat?"

How could anyone score 138 points in a 40-minute game, even if Taylor – and his teammates – were trying to run up the total?

The answer comes from the mind of David Arseneault, who 22 years ago launched an all-out assault of 3-pointers and full-court presses that's now known as the Grinnell System.

Here's how the system works:

• The first shot is the best shot, no matter if it's from 5 feet or 25 feet, preferably 25 feet.

• Take as many 3-pointers as possible.

• Defensively, giving up an uncontested layup is better than forcing a shot-clock violation.

• The ball-handler is double-teamed at all times.

The result is a frenetic, full-court attack that leaves the Grinnell players spent after a minute of action, at which point all five are subbed out and five new ones enter, kind of like in hockey.

As I explained in a story for The Morning Call a few years back, Arseneault's philosophy is thus: Pressure defense creates turnovers; turnovers create more offensive possessions and, by extension, more shot opportunities. Offensively, 3-pointers pay more than 2-pointers, so launch as many treys as possible. While you might miss more threes than your opponent makes in twos, the difference will be made up by taking more shots overall.

Going into Tuesday night's game against Faith Baptist Bible, Grinnell had made 10 fewer field goals than its opponents, shot .375 from the field compared to .556 and made only 27 percent of its 3-pointers. They were 2-0, outscoring the opposition by an average of 120-100.
