Message: [QUOTE="Dr. Bill, post: 5246196, member: 5045"] We blame the Coach too much here. I am not a fan of Bell or Carlos, but both were on the floor when we made our comeback, that is a fact. Both failed to make plays down the stretch that hurt us, that is a fact. Multiple players contributed to the poor free throw shooting percentage and that was the biggest difference in the game. I used to coach girl's high school basketball and one of my staff members did a research project once to determine what statistic could be most reliable in predicting a win. What he found ,with no other stat even close , was turnovers. the team that turns the ball over the most, will lose more often than win. The next best predictor was free throws, first was the number of free throws shot per game and the percentage made. Look at the box scores of 10 games this week...look at turnovers and free throws versus who won the game...and report back on your findings...LOL... [/QUOTE]
