Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 1927675, member: 767"] It's weird too, because in 2010 for instance, we were 15th in defense, and 54th in tempo. From 2010 to 2011 there was a huge drop in tempo (we went from 54th to 185th in 2011, and that 185th is our highest ranking since then). To your point, for the last few years, Pomeroy has tracked length of offensive/defensive possession. Here are our rankings 2010: 322nd 2011: 343rd 2012: 345th 2013: 345th 2014: 351st 2015: 331st 2016: 351st Now, part of that is because we allow a lot of offensive rebounds, but its more because we make teams take a long time to get a shot off. And in case anyone is curious about how the shot clock has affected things; we ranked 351st in both 2014 and 16. In 2014, that possession length was 21.1 seconds, last year, nearly 2 seconds shorter, 19.2. [/QUOTE]
