I think it’s like “ball control” in football. It’s less a stat than a skill that becomes more important at the end of games. Combined Percentages (2 point field goal percentage + three point field goal percentage + free throw percentage, each taken out to three places and the decimal points removed) Virginia I 909 (308 + 172 + 429) vs. 1494 (667 + 160 + 667) = -149 Colgate 1548 (553 + 412 + 583) vs. 1294 (263 + 317 + 714) = +254 Seattle 1850 (792 + 391 + 667) vs. 1654 (405 + 320 + 929) = +196 Cornell 1614 (577 + 370 + 667) vs. 1597 (615 + 222 + 760) = +17 Bucknell 1923 (622 + 483 + 818) vs. 1253 (363 + 125 + 765) = +670 Oklahoma St. 1399 (440 + 258 + 703) vs. 1788 (621 + 346 + 821) = -389 Penn State 1315 (375 + 273 + 667) vs. 1469 (459 + 333 + 677) = -154 Iowa 1372 (419 + 286 + 667) vs. 1505 (556 + 324 + 625) = -133 Georgia Tech 1882 (625 + 424 + 833) vs. 1137 (400 + 348 + 389) = +745 Georgetown 1527 (533 + 438 + 556) vs. 1658 (444 + 440 + 774) = -131 Oakland 1698 (541 + 324 + 833) vs. 1632 (577 + 222 + 833) = +66 North Florida 1650 (515 + 385 + 750) vs. 1676 (556 + 370 + 750) = -26 Niagara 1655 (517 + 360 + 778) vs. 1390 (390 + 222 + 778) = +265 Notre Dame I 1738 (485 + 484 + 769) vs. 1638 (421 + 484 + 733) = +100 Virginia Tech I 1472 (472 + 353 + 647) vs. 1778 (786 + 278 + 714) = -306 Virginia II 1391 (258 + 400 + 733) vs. 1160 (389 + 226 + 545) = +231 Boston Col I 2000 (556 + 444 + 1000) vs. 1152 (452 + 200 + 500) = +848 Virginia Tech II 1589 (639 + 250 + 700) vs. 1360 (455 + 405 + 500) = +229 Notre Dame II 1707 (575 + 308 + 824) vs. 1624 (563 + 361 + 700) = +83 Pittsburgh I 1493 (559 + 238 + 696) vs. 1423 (485 + 238 + 700) = +70 Clemson 1762 (533 + 296 + 933) vs. 1808 (654 + 321 + 833) = -46 Duke 1465 (477 + 231 + 757) vs. 1908 (676 + 353 + 879) = -443 Wake Forest 1562 (429 + 333 + 800) vs. 1500 (500 + 222 + 778) = +62 NC State 1423 (478 + 167 + 778) vs. 1692 (609 + 440 + 643) = -269 Florida State 1610 (552 + 280 + 778) vs. 1630 (425 + 440 + 765) = -20 Louisville 1462 (471 + 269 + 722) vs. 1607 (500 + 417 + 690) = -145 Georgia Tech 1621 (486 + 357 + 778) vs. 1578 (486 + 400 + 692) = +43 Pittsburgh II 1525 (529 + 364 + 632) vs. 1362 (345 + 231 + 786) = +163 No Carolina I 1709 (564 + 250 + 895) vs. 1884 (579 + 423 + 882) = -175 Boston Col II 1712 (568 + 304 + 840) vs. 1027 (375 + 452 + 200) = +685 U of Miami 1307 (475 + 200 + 632) vs. 1596 (406 + 323 + 867) = -289 No Carolina II 1514 (538 + 333 + 643) vs. 1380 (409 + 125 + 846) = +134 Average: 50,404-48,654 = +1750 (+55.7% per game) We were 17-1 when we won this stat.

Getting points for putting the ball in the basket was Naismith’s first idea – and his best. [/QUOTE]
