Interesting article. I think Jay Wright was one of the coaches but can't figure out the others. Two things struck me. 1) transition offense - normally I'd agree but this year it's seemed like we're much more half-court oriented. It seems like more often than not Tyler will pull it back out on the break and set up the offense, but I'd be curious if someone has numbers to contradict my gut feeling. 2) Next year Jerami will be our top scorer. Yes please.

That's a great read. There is absolutely no question that Syracuse is a well respected program.They are doing every top team..

using the data from Hoop Math (which only goes back to 2012), you can see a clear decline not only in transition points, but in effectiveness from transition:
they define transition as any possession in which the initial shot attempt comes in the first 10 seconds of a possession following a rebound, made basket or turnover by the opponent.
the numbers don't add up to 100%, so I'm not sure where the other 17 to 20% of the points are being credited.
that was the 2012 number.So, if we get a steal within the first 10 seconds, we score nearly 60% of the time? That's how it's read, correct?
that was the 2012 number.
I will summarize:
2012: 28.9% of points came in transition, with a FG% of 60.5%
2013: 26.3% of points came in transition, with a FG% of 56.9%
2014: 22.1% of points came in transition, with a FG% of 53.4%
so, this season represents a 3 year low in both transition opportunities and effectiveness

CuseFaninVT said:I think I was correct with my first question, in 2014, a steal within the first 10 seconds results in a SU basket 58.8% of the time. As opposed to in 2012, when the FG % was 72.5%. The transition number shown at the bottom is just adding up the three categories you defined above.
I think the numbers bear fruit to my theory above as well. Transition off of early shots and made baskets is down, even from last year.
Wait, I think I got the seconds thing wrong. If we go to score within the first 10 seconds after a steal (like on a break) that's where that number comes from, correct?
...but the number one take away is that you have to do a lot of things very well to beat us. There is no one way or simple answer because we have a lot of answers and that is what makes a great team.
