Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4099576, member: 289"] That's a word salad. I think that the history of trying to replace the 103 most successful coaches in basketball history with someone who does better has obvious meaning and relevance to our situation, even if it doesn't produce the results you want. All kinds of circumstances will be represented in the 103 situations. Are any of them identical to our own? It's like evaluating a baseball player by his road numbers because they are accumulated in all several different ballparks rather than one. You can't dismiss it as irrelevant. The results are not ironclad: we might be in the 26% who get wins more often under the new guy or the 36% who get more wins than the old guy's last 5 years. But we need to know the odds of getting that kind of improvement before we decide that a change would produce better results. [/QUOTE]
