Message: [QUOTE="cliftonparksufan, post: 2906260, member: 9"] I know you put a lot of thought into this and of course it has been discussed before. I think JAB was into sabermetrics before that word was ever invented. People universally give him credit for the 2-3 zone but where he really shines is his record with the team leading at the 5 minute mark. I have no idea what it is, but considering his overall record, it has to be pretty good. It's almost an art form to take the air out of the ball on the offensive side of the ball but by setting up the defense, it allows the players to force the other team to use more clock, instead of less clock. I find it very intriguing when we get down to the five minute mark with a lead. That's how he forces less possessions. [/QUOTE]
