Message: [QUOTE="Coach Orange, post: 537038, member: 2260"] Though stats can help, they often don't tell the whole story. How do you quantify how a player's positioning leads to a good team defensive possession? Is a rebound or a block the only way to measure a post player's positive impact on a game? How do you determine the impact of solid spacing or a nicely set screen on offense? How do you quantify UConn's first four points, which were directly caused by their guards beating our guards off the dribble? Can you assign a numerical value to Rak not rotating up in support of the guards to stop the dribble quickly enough on these plays, which allowed for two easy layups? Oh wait, you can--the four points. I'm not picking on anyone. I just think we have to be careful with stats--they can be used to argue many different points. The truth is that none of our post players are very good right now. They all don't score well, and they all have defensive lapses. [/QUOTE]
