AnkielBreakers

Nick Saban has a similar ‘rat poison’ theory. I mean, some people call him successful coach.

I don’t blame the ref, that said, I think Traore should do this after every dunk, and Coach Ford should work with the refs and opposing team to make every one aware this is not done in a derogatory manner. What a calling card move. I can see the future Ackerman commercial already.

Enjoy!

I did not expect an answer because it was just a random thought, but here is an example: If GJ goes to the line 1 out of every 4 two pt attempts, and he shoots 90% from the line, then his true two point percentage jumps up to 55% ((90-43) / 4 = ~12; so 43 + 12). It is still smarter for him to shoot threes, but a closer decision. On another note, the Variation in shooting percentage for each team is probably calculated by someone. That would tell how likely a team is to have a horrible shooting game. Wouldn’t that also dictate how smart it is to shoot threes. No answer necessary, I am just thinking out the issue.

Do we ever add in the ratio of drawing a foul, with the resulting shooting percentage? That is kind of a relevant factor when taking a shot, because fouls on three point shots are a lot less common. Right now, at 80%, it might skew things significantly.

He should let it fly. He shot 42% last year. He started off hot and then cooled down, and he will heat up at the end. One of the exciting things about this year is that we had a lot of good shooters who were not lighting it up earlier in the season. That means we are going to hit our shots later in the season. This is a buying opportunity.

Let’s just make up a better quote: “it is a good school. It is strange, but the Billiken visits me in my dreams. I don’t know what it means.”

Maybe I want to see the video because it looked funny…

If someone has a video of Traore’s technical foul, post a link. At the time it looked really strange. Then all of a sudden, foul called. I meant to go back and look, but forgot.

Honestly, Thatch and TJ both have been horrible about TO’s this year. I love Thatch’s defense and inside offense. TJ has a great shot and energy. I think Thatch is a good match up for this game. I hope both learn to improve on the TO front.

Ok, so looking a more ‘true winning road percentage’, giving losses to the preceding coach where appropriate and wins where appropriate, Ford is probably #2 or 3, with Majerus at #1. Spoonhour, Grawer, and Romar were not in the A10, so it is not really fair to add them.

So, what is Ford’s road percentage the last 3 years?

Here is another thought on this issue. What other names on that list inherited the project that Crews left Ford? Was the program ever that far down?

Good for them. I liked D. Ford when he showed up. Seems like a good coach. Hopefully they keep going.

Crews is our shining star!
