Always very interesting lineup statistics and individual numbers.
Back years ago, my high school coach, Moore Landers, at Columbia Military Academy, in Columbia Tennessee, taught me how to keep a statistic used by Ray Mears at University of Tennessee. It was called Offensive Efficiency Rating, or OER Chart, basically a play by play chart. Points scored per possession, points allowed per possession, turnover possessions, free throw possessions, etc. I kept those charts back in the early years during UAB road games while listening on the radio. Interesting statistics, too.
Obviously, you compile your statistics from the actual play by play that they keep during the game for most all college games. I could also compile Offensive Efficiency Rating from the play by play, too.
Crunching numbers! Understanding, statistically, why teams win or lose games. Efficiency!
One comment about the game, last night. Fifty three rebounds for the team. Years ago, I contended(to Coach Bartow), that after keeping OER charts for years, turnovers were probably the most determining factor in the outcome of a game. He told me that rebounding was every bit as important, if not more. His theory is holding up a lot stronger than mine, this season. This is such a good rebounding team.
I'm really glad we have CJ Washington
Watts is probably a one and done.
Since you've been posting these it's reminded me of a tool called ShiftChart someone developed to track NHL ice combos. I'm not sure if he builds the charts in real-time or later, but the effect is VERY cool to see the flow of a game (the interface could use improvement, though). Hit the play button at the link below to see it in action. Since you're the source of inspiration, would you mind if I tried to build something similar for basketball (if one doesn't exist already)?
