It does not adjust for injuries, flu. broken heart, suspensions. It counts every possession of every game and we pulled every metric on how best to rise from mediocrity. Blue bloods are also good at it but they recruit better talent and thus points are easier to come by. If outscoring your opponent is the object then everyone knows that scoring is critical, we run those metrics as well. But if outscoring the other team is the goal then stopping them from scoring is equally imperative. It is easier to teach on some level but it is harder to sell. It must be a non negotiable in escaping being mediocre. Many programs have done it. Just look at Kenpom and the rankings reveal excellence . We went back pre Kenpom to build the model.
Right. I throw out the kenpom for us in our injury/suspension years because of the extent of them. That seems fair to me. Is there something I'm missing?
