Luca Doncic tied up the game on a free throw attempt by intentionally missing the shot, allowing it to bounce off the back rim and be received again. He then shot the ball again so that it was worth +2 instead of the standard +1 free throw. It was an exceptional moment because they had to tie up the game in about 30 seconds while down 9 AND they managed to win the OT

Ah, so the statistic is actually better worded: if you continue to play the lottery after winning, you are likely to continue to use that lottery winner wealth until you eventually win again, when compared with the average player. Yes indeed that is statistically logical and deceptive

How are symptoms and response patterns not an explanation? Then why is it even a term? Because it’s a noticeable quirk in human competitive psychology? Why is it limited to explanation of arrow shooting? Because it’s a focused perspective meant to validate underperformance.

If you read the explanation of what they call “target panic” on your link, there are three explanations for why it exists and has been recognized.

  1. Bow feels too heavy
  2. Target becomes difficult to aim at (physically or psychologically?)
  3. Premature release - inability to come full anchor before releasing the arrow.

So basically we got a bunch of lazy archers who decided utilizing a mechanism to favor equalizing genetics surpasses the utility of choosing accurate and strong bow-shooting. No wonder archery seems pointless as a competitive sport
