I get that there's some strategy to not sharing injury information, but I hate that such information is guarded like national security secrets.

 

Genuine question - is it guarded, or do we just not have anyone covering that team that tries hard enough to get this information? The best coverage of Zips Athletics seems to come from regular fans/bloggers IMO, and they likely don't have the access to find out. Most local media only come around for the MAC and NCAA Tournaments.

Showing a photo a Burton "warming up" by shooting a 3 is A+ conversation fodder by the program. Not only does it lend the question on if he'll play, but showing they're going to use him to stretch the floor is going to throw a wrench in some opponents' game plans lol. 

 

Like @kreed5120 said, he was nonexistent outside the paint at WMU.

It may mean nothing, but Chabi had never attempted a 3 in his collegiate career (80 games) and then I believe attempted two in the YSU scrimmage.

Coach Ford said post-game that Chabi has been working hard on his shot and as long as he works hard on the boards, defensively, and in the paint, he's ok with Chabi taking 1-2 3s a game. 

 

Burton is quite different because he was a pretty good 3P shooter in high school.
