Message: [QUOTE="The General, post: 109285, member: 1150"] Ok. Got ya. I don't catch every post. But all I've seen from you lately is long ass posts about why JS is overrated and Scoop shouldn't play as much. Then I'm hearing you are doing the same to Nassib on Fball board. And that weird ass post where you quoted a bunch of old posts. Don't be the guy at the cocktail party everybody rolls their eyes when they get cornered by. I respect that you know a lot about sports stats. Though I find your "what if Scoop missed that 3?" theorem borderline ed, I agree, we probly aint gonna win if our plan is for Scoop to bail us out. Its not the plan. We sat him in NYC. JB knows what he's doing. Like someone said, "What if K. Smart missed that J?" He didn't. I think Dion is a star too. But he's raw. And handing him the keys ain't winning us a title either. Somehwere in the middle is our answer. And JB will find it. Dion was flat out terrible against Florida. He reminds me of JR Rider. He could drop 40. He could go 1-12. He might be crazy. He's cocky. And I love the kid. But JB knows how to manage him. Knew to break his ass last year in order to get more out of him this year. But he is still a loose cannon. He was wild against EMU. Way wilder against Fla. He's a sick athlete. But old Dion is still there, we gotta keep him grounded. He's Kemba one second and DeShawn the next. Your stats don't calculate how to manage egos or people. That's a big part of coaching. Dion is a handful. Sometimes analysis isn't about numbers. And you seriously tried to skew the numbers for Scoop with "what if he missed". I don't know jack stuff about statistical analysis, linear regression or even how to multiply fractions. I was a history major. There is way more to coaching than efficiency and other stats. Humor me. Next time you do a long ass post, make it positive. Not to refute or critique. I think you got a rep here guy. My impression is that while you're a big fan, you just like to stir the pot and we all play your game. This will be it for me. [/QUOTE]
