Statistically, there isn't much a defense can do that affect 3-point shooting
percentage other than taking it completely away. The only difference is simply based on how close the defender is to the 3-point shooter when the shot is taken. That's it.

So, that's what we teach on my team is just get to the body without contesting and be ready to guard the drive.

The worst thing you can do is try to block the shot or to go through the shooter like you mentioned BYU does and actually let the shooter get their own rebound.
