Concerns about Selection Sunday

[BRS24]

This is more a general comment on the flaw in many conspiracy theories. They are often based upon the improbability of something happening, but over a period of time the improbable becomes probable.

For example, I remember the time BYers suspected bias in the placing of the best teams with male coaches in the same regional. Let us say there is only a 10% chance of that happening randomly for a particular year, or a 90% chance that it should not happen. Over a period of 22 years that becomes flipped, according to probability there is only a 10% chance that the seemingly conspiratorial event would never happen within that time frame, a 90% chance that it will happen once.

But the realities of extended probabilities are not such to discourage a worked up grievance.

Ask and ye shall receive. It's back, the male coaches conspiracy ...

This is really eye opening. It is a subject that I would never have thought about but now that I see it, mind-boggling.

Six out of thirty-two is "mind boggling?" A 1 in 5.33 ratio? So that means 4 out of 5-ish are women.

"Currently, 222 head coaches in women's college basketball are female, good for just over 63%. That is the highest percentage since 2010-11, when 64% of head coaches were female.

Now consider that two of the six men (Geno and Vic) are long established and successful coaches who have numerous Elite 8/F4 appearances. When they retire will they be replaced by males? Doubtful. The number of males is shrinking as the sport matures.

And there were four teams very close for the last two 1 seeds. Guess which ones got them?

Oh. Okay. That is strange and seemingly paradoxical though probably coincidental. The ration would become 5 out of 16 for the Seattle region. That IS kind of mind boggling.

Greenville: "Deep South" perceived to be a conservative, male dominant, anti-feminist area of the nation.
Seattle: "Left coast" perceived to be liberal, more female empowering area of the nation.
