If you aren't taking more threes than everyone else, it is simply a disadvantage in basketball these days. Open threes are just the most efficient shot in basketball that isn't an open dunk/layup (although I can agree that Self's offenses of the past were predicated on getting exactly those shots).
NCAA is just finally catching up to where the NBA got to a few years ago. Self's trend in the coming years in this regard will hopefully continue to be upwards and not back down from where we came.
