Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 2397189, member: 628"] Shafer kept games close? This took 3 minutes to calculate... In the Shafer era we had 10 games (out of 37) that were decided by 9 points or less. We won 5 of those. In the Babers era we have had 9 games (out of 24) that were decided by 9 points or less. We've won 4 of those. Shafer kept 27% of his games close, while Babers has kept 38% of his games close. So Baber's approach has literally kept significantly more games close than Shafer's. And FWIW, the average loss under Shafer was by 18.9 points. Under Babers it has been 21.2 points. Shafer had 3 losses by more than 30 points, and Babers has had 4. So yeah, Babers approach leads to closer games and roughly 0.33 more super-blowout losses per year than Shafer. Damning. ;) [/QUOTE]
