March 17, 201313 yr I often hear people say "it's come 360 degrees" when what they really mean is "180 degrees." So, if FT shooting was really bad and now it's good it came 180 degrees. I am watching the girls finals tonight and the PBP person said, when talking about a player's attitude improvement over her career, said "it's come 360 degrees." So either she's back to having a bad attitude or it really should have been "180 degrees." Math ain't hard.

So either she's back to having a bad attitude or it really should have been "180 degrees." Math ain't hard. I've been perplexed by this line of thought for quite some time, but some "let it fly" and they sound so confident when using it and don't realize they just contradicted themselves.
March 17, 201313 yr The same thing happens when I hear people say that "the light went off" for a player, when they mean to say that the "light went on". It is obvious these people mean that this player is finally catching on or understanding. I have heard this the most on radio. People need to listen to what they are saying.

Maybe she had a good attitude at the start, went bad, and 360 degrees later she now has a good attitude again.
March 17, 201313 yr All I could think of while reading this (part I'm talking about starts at 13 seconds) [video=youtube_share;AiCF1QdyxhM]
March 17, 201313 yr 180 degrees = completely different from where you were. 360 degrees = back to where you started from.
March 17, 201313 yr Similar to when people say, "I could care less" when they mean, "I couldn't care less." The 360-degree thing is the epitome of a circular argument.

March 18, 201313 yr Doing a 360 does have value in the business world. It refers to a co-worker doing a performance evaluation for your work on a project or over some span of time.
March 18, 201313 yr There is another way to look at it. Using the term 360-degree turn to mean that some has completely turned themselves around. Since 360 is a complete turn around. Now if one has an issue with that phrase also then well it goes back to the original statement. Some may not

Even if someone told me to turn all the way around, I'd still take it as a 180.
