Remember the kid from Grinnell College that scored 138 points in a single game last year? Well, he has already scored 109 in a game this season, and he shot both 50% from the field and 50% from three point land. This is unbelievable, as he is averaging 90 points per game so far this season. He had a much more efficient game in the 109 point outing, as he made 24 three pointers and only attempted 48. Taylor said this about the offense, "I knew it would work perfectly in my game because I'm a scorer." Grinnell's offense consists of not much defense and then scoring as quickly as possible. They destroy teams, scoring a ridiculous amount of points every game.
Jack Taylor had hopes of playing division 1 basketball, but suffered a knee injury which prevented him from playing. He eventually decided to play for Grinnell, which is only division 3. The Grinnell head coach said, "I'll be quite honest, when I'm watching our games live, everything is going so fast that I'm not even sure what's happening. But we've found something that has turned into a reasonably competitive strategy that's a little outside the box." Both coach Arsenault Jr. and Jack Taylor love the offense, because they destroy teams and Jack gets to score a lot of points.
These type of games are very rare, and Jack Taylor does them without problem. He's even attracting views from famous people on the national level. Dick Vitale tweeted, "Will someone massage his arm -with no D in practice this would be a challenge - Congrats to Jack Taylor !" This kid is not only showing off his basketball skills, but is becoming a celebrity in his own kind of way in the national view of him. Jack is loving the offense as much as Grinnell fans are loving him, just scoring as many points as he can whenever he wants to, basically dominating all competition on the offensive side of the floor during every single game in college.
