I went through every game in Nate Oats' tenure at Alabama and calculated the Win/Loss record and win% based on how many threes Alabama made in those games:

0-5 Threes: 4-9 (.307%)

6-10 Threes: 50-27 (.650%)

11-15 Threes: 45-10 (.820%)

16+ Threes: 12-3 (.800%)

Here’s the win/loss record based on 3 point ATTEMPTS since Nate Oats has been at Alabama:

<20 3PA: 4-2 (.667%)

20-25 3PA: 28-13 (.682%)

26-30 3PA: 29-13 (.690%)

31-35 3PA: 30-10 (.750%)

36-40 3PA: 14-8 (.636%)

41-45 3PA: 4-1 (.800%)

46 3PA: 2-2 (.500%)

Excluding his first year, here’s how the records shake out based on 3P%:

less than/= 30% — 31-18 (.633)
between 30% & 35% — 13-8 (.619)
between 35% & 40% — 16-7 (.696)
greater than/= 40% — 35-1 (.932)
