Message: [QUOTE="TrickySU, post: 5724554, member: 2749"] Right. Here’s the point: These ratings largely coincide with talent, but some teams play above their talent level and some teams play below. So for teams that are peer schools or relatively close in terms of talent, comparing these metrics is a great way to separate. But comparing schools that are far apart in talent levels is a horrible way to try and determine who the better coach is. Generally the team with more talent will have better metrics. So don’t compare teams that are in different playing fields recruiting wise. That’s why I would say despite Saint Louis being ranked outside the Top 30, I think Schertz is an elite coach. Even though his team’s metrics won’t be anywhere near the top of the list. I’m not going to compare him to Michigan. Makes no sense to when the talent is just different. Hopefully that makes sense.
