Analytics

I thought about doing that, but final AP is a better proxy for what most people judge a season on, which is tournament results. Plus this shows that algorithms are better than human voters at predicting their own poll. There's just so much information at our disposal, and computer models are now better able to sort through it than humans are.

Does CWM have access to those analytics? If he does/did he really has no excuses for further failure except for coaching or injuries.

If someone like sedz - no offense intended - has access to these as a college coach outsider, I would imagine CWM has access to this data and even more data. The question is does CWM use it, or use it correctly.

I was posting tongue in cheek. One other view. Just having stats doesn't automatically = wins or makes one a better coach. There is a major human factor. Stat prediction often disappear in the heat of a game and a coach must, adapt, improvise and overcome.

This is another astute observation by the great Yogi

Do they still play as they practice?

Haha, no offense taken. I only use free public data. Coaching staffs have access to that and can pay for much more. I don't think Wes uses analytics as a primary tool though. There are a couple of obvious clues - players with poor metrics have the highest usage and we run a midrange heavy offense. Brannen was supposed to be an analytics guy, but there is no way he was using metrics to evaluate players. Chris McNeal and Rapolas Ivanauskas had terrible metrics even before they came here. Tari Eason had the best metrics and he rode the bench.

Maybe Corey Evans will help.
