3 pt Contest format for next year BBM

[bigbluefattycat]

-Bring in the legends and go head to head on both sides of the court.

-Current players alternate shots at each rack with a UK legend from their area.

-Western KY team for instance could have- Travis Ford, Patrick Sparks, Rex Chapman team up with Travis Perry. Have one at each rack and Travis would travel to each rack shooting with a different legend taking turns at the rack.

-Lexington team potential line up- Cameron Mills, Goose, and Jasper

-Eastern Ky team - Trent, Richie, .....

- West Coast team - Otega, Prince ...

-Louisville team - DA, Padgett

-NY Team - Mash, Brea

Introduce the legends on the glass floor with highlights from their career.

Who would you like to see represent an area team that realistically can still knock down a 3?

Those old players would be so out of shape they would be lucky to hit the rim. Terrible and stupid idea.

Cameron Mills may be about of shape but I would bet he could still hit 4 out of 5 from 1 spot alternating shots with jasper.

Hell I bet you could hit at least 1 but yeah thanks for your input.

To make it more interesting they should involve UK students in all the contest stuff. Not to do the 3pt contest but to be part with that player. So Perry next year draws a seat, row and section number out of 2 different hats. He does the contest with that person on the floor by the team bench. If he wins then a prize, maybe one of the big home games, 2 court side seats, dinner at Ruby's, stay at one of the hotels and such. Or $2k or 5k something like that.

Same for the dunk contest, same for the women then maybe Pope and Coach Brooks (women) both do the same or similar for 2 lucky fans. Keep things moving faster.

Then have a 10 minute scrimmage (very light scrimmage) coed (mens and womens teams) blue white type game. Nothing serious. Just a fun scrimmage showing unity in front of fans. Almost like a celeb game. Maybe even sprinkle in a few recent players that have moved on to other things.

All of this would market UK in a bigger way helping the get back in touch with the fans vibe.

We could also get guys from the 1948 championship team to scrimmage with the current guys!

Maybe bring back some players that were on the Kentucky TBT team to do it. Idk.

Most of our legend players cant walk 15 feet without catching their breath, much less jack up a bunch of bricks..

It’s not a bad idea. We could also bring in Goose Givens for the dunk contest
