Message: [QUOTE="Coach Orange, post: 2044384, member: 2260"] Most coaches I have encountered in clinics and in discussions don't use straight-up Defensive Efficiency as one of the most important stats, though, because of its flaws. Very few P6 schools rank below 275 year-to-year in Effective FG% (a stat many coaches do value), and most are in the top 120. Given that there are 75 programs in the P6 conferences (and this includes Rutgers! :confused:), to be lower than top-60 given the talent discrepancies and home-court advantages in pre-conference games doesn't suggest an "elite" defense, even when UConn and Gonzaga-type programs outside of the P6 could claim a few of the spots year to year.
