It proves Issel faced nothing on Earth like the kind of actual defense Jodie faced. And therefore what he accomplished was much less difficult than what Jodie accomplished. And therefore it was less significant. That was my point.
You are only trying to claim my "point" is anything else because you have no other options. You're also contradicting yourself so obviously that you've had to use the ridiculous phrase, "he probably had the ball in his hands less". Based on what? Based on your need to have it be true since all your other arguments disappeared from under your feet? It's certainly nothing that is supported by this video, or will be supported by any video since Jodie was mostly a catch and shoot guy working off pick and rolls except for his occasional drives. In this video I posted, Issel shot the ball 33 times. Against a joke of a defense. That's 11 more times than Jodie shot to get his record. And when Issel got his own record, he shot the ball even more. And of course he had to get offensive putbacks: he was shooting at a low percentage! Of course he got 18 rebounds: he's a giant among dwarves out there as this video shows!
There's no need to take anything away from Issel or what he accomplished for our great program, back in an era when superhuman physical feats weren't necessary to rack up great numbers. But to try to say his accomplishment was more significant than Jodie's is plain silly, and I'm glad your arguments are finally stretching to the point where everyone can see that. If Rupp could have Big Dan take 33 and 34 shots a game without running "the offense through Issel," it was obviously because they were only playing a polite and up tempo game of HORSE that would be utterly demolished on today's courts.
