I am mulling over the metric.
Case 1. If you take a shot and make it and get fouled, and the foul gets called, that's one FGA and one FTA.
Case 2. If you take a shot and miss it and get fouled, and the foul gets called, that's zero FGA and two FTAs.
Case 3. If you take a shot and make it and...
I was wondering that myself. I haven't seen one called and I have watched a lot of games. I think I saw a warning, at least the commentator speculated it was a warning, but I agree with you when there's a new rule, they like to call it early to make sure everybody knows about it. It will not go...
I have several boxes of VCR tapes of UConn games, maybe some in the 80s but probably mostly 90s and shortly thereafter. I acquired them with the goal of converting them to DVD (or cloud-based online which didn't exist when I first acquired them). My hope was to work on this when I retired but...
That's wonderful. It's been a few years since I climbed up but I think that's the route I took. I remember it was described as the longest route but it was definitely the best. Many great memories but one relevant memory is standing on the summit looking around and you could tell who took the...
Sorry, did I miss some sarcasm? Those stats back me up. The statement that some cannot make 3 in a row may be hyperbolically true, but not literally true.
You make a good point that there are legitimate game situation for taking a late three, but I still see no support for your claim that my...
The WBCA had a special half-day marketing session at their annual convention a few years ago. Bill Fennelly was one of the featured speakers. Iowa State has an impressive marketing campaign, but some of the initiatives do not translate into postseason attendance. I don't recall the specific...
There is not a player in the nation who literally can't make three consecutive free throws, sans guessing what you mean is that some players are so poor at the free-throw line that the probability of hitting three consecutive shots is effectively zero. I'm not sure that's true but it's...
Sorry, can you explain what you mean you you say it isn't fair? It's my impression that some people thank the expected points scored will be different, which would be unfair, if it was material. But it's not.
Dou you think the expected points are different if she takes three foul shots from the foul line? The answer is no, the expected points are almost identical, though it takes a lot more time to take the three shots.
One and one? I hate it.
I had forgotten how much until I decided to watch the...
I am happy that the aggregate attendance numbers are up, but I'm taken aback by some of the numbers at the lower end of the hosting schools. What on earth is going on at Duke? UCLA doesn't stunned me as they haven't very supportive. I heard it's due to the proliferation of alternatives but I...
Well, I watched every minute of the game. I don't think I'm a hyper partisan but I've talked to hyper partisans and haven't yet met one who agrees there hyper partisan so that's a call for someone else to make.
I just double checked again cast and agree that through much of the game the margin...
I have a partial fix. I think it is a complete waste of time for player to shoot two foul shots (or three) if they are fouled. Send them to the free-throw for one-shot worth two, or three if it was a three point attempt. (Obviously only worth one point in an and-one situation) While this only...
The Tennessee numbers are easy to explain. (I'm basing this on research I did several years ago but think it's likely to still apply) The Tennessee athletic department engages in aggressive and creative ticket sales promotions. This includes discounted multi-game packages and offers such as 2...
The rule of thumb for home-court advantage is that it's worth about three points. Massey specifically calculates it for each team and comes up with 2.7 for Iowa. Iowa won by eight, so I think it's possible to see something other than just home-court advantage. I'm not suggesting home-court...
I started to purchase a Lou jersey, but at the end, they said they would start shipping 30 March, kinda defeats the purpose of having it for Final Four. It's 2023, how long does it take?
