Northwestern’s Kevin Coble’s 65 Foot Trick Shot With Broken Foot

Northwestern’s Kevin Coble has been the Wildcat’s unquestioned leader and top scoring option over the past two seasons, averaging 15.9 and 15.5 ppg, and is widely regarded as one of the best long distance shooters in the Big Ten Conference.

Big things were expected this year out of both Coble and the rest of the Northwestern program who had visions of making their first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history after an improved 17-14 mark last season. Most hope came to an end when Coble sustained a season ending foot/ankle injury before the season.

The Wildcats are pressing on, in Coble’s absence, by posting an impressive 14-5 overall record and a 3-4 conference mark so far, keeping them firmly on the tournament “bubble” with 12 regular season games remaining.

Word out of the Wildcat campus is that Coble is progressing well in his rehab and should be fine for next season. Judging by this video, shot after a team shoot-around, Kevin has increased his shooting range to about 65 feet.

Check out this amazing video of Coble swooshing a 3/4 court shoot, on one leg, with his back to the basket:
