Ranking wise we are similar and the fouling impacts would be the case for all teams.
I'd like to say or the extra OREB from missed 3s as opposed to 2s, but we brick so much I don't know if there is any difference.
I know we are real bad shooting team, but that bad! There has to be some correlation between the effort we put on D and those shooting percentages.
not exactly....you need to include 'moral victories' and Vegas covers, especially for Schiano's teams. In that light, he's nearly undefeated and therefore deserves a lifetime contract and giant, gilded statues.
But that would again depend on the other players on the team.. if you individually decide each player on the team can't take a three then you've decided the team as a whole can't take them. If you have a team of bad three point shooters you're going to have to let the better of them shoot anyway.
Since Jan 1 we are #84 in DREB% and #65 in OREB%. Pre-Jan 1 we were #325 in DREB% and #144 in OREB%. It's an astonishing turnaround and a great counter to people who claim that Pike does not coach / develop players.
That last point may well be the case. I sure hope so. Every time I think we can’t get worse from 3 though we have again shot below our season average. It’s mind boggling.
No it *should* be comparison to ourselves, but I put up the normal team numbers there as a point of comparison. If we had the same balance as them presumably we would have a similar optimal strategy to them.
My issue is that you keep ignoring the defensive adjustment. Teams play fairly normal defensive strategy against us as far as I can tell. Game theory assumes the opponent will know our new strategy and counter it; if they focus on only defending inside the arc our 2p% would go way down and our possible 3p% would go up.
Wow. That’s even more of an improvement than I imagined. Incredible.
And the beginning includes all the cupcakes! It's insane.
Interesting. I'd think about it both in terms of energy expended by the players on D (and rebounding), but also the focus of the coaching and practice time. The D and rebounding have improved a lot, including the play of some specific players, over the course of the year.
I think there is a lot to shooting and where your energy/heart rate is at. Many fans say they are 18-22 years old blah blah blah, but they are all human. There is a reason all players wear monitors in their shorts. The data is used for something.
How much of a difference does the addition of a healthy Mag and JWill make in these numbers (are the numbers drastically different in part because these players and now in and fully healthy)?
McConnell had a significantly more effective shooting percentage and people hateddd Caleb for taking shots.... but some think Simpson's shooting isn't a problem when it's been a lot worse
Insane turnaround. Someone send these stats to Eddie can't teach rebounding Jordan
Exactly. Wild
Fair point. But also take into account that in part this was because we had better options for most of Caleb's time here.
Huge difference I'd assume. But we also had a lot of freshmen logging major minutes, and new transfers that haven't been coached by Pike before. It's logical to expect that a coach famous for teaching D and rebounding would have an impact on them over the course of the season.
Mag helped for sure. JWill hasn't had much impact yet since he's only played two games. And the turnaround started well before he came back.
but Mag's reounding numbers have been pretty bad
On 1 - The problem with 3s (outside of maybe opportunities for Hyatt) isn’t that we’re not able to get open. Simpson and Mag’s misses are typically when wide open. Teams are daring them to shoot those. JMike too. Gavin is the only one who is forcing bad shots and it’s not so much because he can’t get open - it’s that he seems to be programmed to shoot as soon as he gets the ball - like the one from 4 feet beyond the 3 point line.
Does any team have a worse best 3 point shooter?
5th grade Phiilipsburg "B" travel team really struggles from deep.
I doubt it. technically some will say Austin Williams is our best but he’s only attempted 14 of them (made 5) and is 29.5% for his career. Jeremiah is 2-4 for us but 27.6% for his career. We are historically bad from the outside.
My 9 year olds combined to go 2 of 8 from long range last club game. They each made one. They’d fit right in.
Yeah but they might struggle on defense.
Noah is 35.9% for his career. He saved sucking at it for his stint at RU I guess.
3 point shooting has jumped the shark when 9 year old girls are making them.
