I don't think you understand the role of a general manager in college sports. They are hired by and work for the head coach. They are at a level below the Director of Basketball Operations and all Assistant Coaches. They are honestly a glorified Recruiting Coordinator tasked with figuring out the NIL landscape. Very different than a professional sport general manager.
I mean I understand the official NCAA position is NET doesn't use margin, but isn't the efficiency measurement the difference of points for v points against? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think of that as basically being margin. Hasn't the talk been the last couple years that the Big 12 had good NET because they blew out bad teams, and Syracuse's NET last year was awful in the non-con because we didn't blow teams out, and we got blown out by good teams? It factors in other things of course too, but seems to me margin has a big effect.
For now. Check out what Stanford is doing with Andrew Luck. I also trust Klines basketball acumen better than anyone else in the AD.
Would he leave a scouts job in the NBA to take a newly developed position in an ACC program with potential for further growth? Absolutely. More money, more responsibility, more authority. You act like he moved from an Asst GM in the NBA, he didn't. A person with the responsibility you think the GM has is about 7 steps higher on the org chart.
I don't know any of these people but I see no signs of anything resembling analytics watching the dumbest shots over and over and over
The guy I am referring to got here in August. I don’t disagree we don’t run any modern offense and we are stuck in the ISO stone ages.
But at Stanford, the whole football leadership (coaching) works for Andrew Luck, right?
It can have an effect, but it's more about how teams perform against each other on a per possession basis relative to the league. Basically, if every opponent against Clemson loses by a couple of baskets, but those opponents blow out other teams, then it's probably that Clemson is a good team and would blow out their opponents' opponents. The biggest thing with NET is how teams relate to each other more than MOV. It normalizes a lot of noise that happens by playing the games. There are always those games where a team just has a good night or an awful one (like SU vs DePaul)
Well he wasnt tanned and rested, he was working at Iona but yes , there was an amen choir which I dont understand since SU is not a religious school but they try to project this stuffy wine and cheese, Ivy league, east coast elitist school which isnt doing them any favors.
rick pitino was too old and too expensive IMo. but i do imagine he would have filled some seats here .
He is old but he hasn't forgotten how to coach.. just watch St John's, their movement on offense and watch their d. If you don't hustle for pitino ur backside is on the bench the next dead ball same with missing a box out.. I'd love to see cuse play like pitino has the Johnnie's playing!!
agreed, I think his success at SJU just rubs salt in the wound for SU's decision to go internal when they needed to go external.
Not weighing in on whether or not Pitino was the right move for us, but the notion that morality and ethics are exclusive to the “religious” is ridiculous.
Yeah, there are games to be angry about but last night was simply par for the course. I think that's the problem though.
