Jones isn’t a 1 though. He does his damage off ball and slashing. His role isn’t to run the team and set ppl up. It would take away from what he does best. He also guards the best opposing guard/wing (at times) so this would wear him out. Also, he needs some rest too.
When Zach is involved with a screen outside the lane a guy coming for the ball around Zach has to be close to the arc 😁
Not when we’re talking basketball, no we’re not the same.
For sure it’d be great for everyone to play… but here’s a crack at it that I don’t think would work haha (taken real quick from ESPN). I think it’d be tough to get a flow for players if everyone isn’t firing on all cylinders. Also, I think my math was right for predicting the potential 12 man rotation (plz check math).
YOu need to call-in to Paint's radio show ASAP!!! before we waste any more time with him on the bench!!!
I mean clearly he doesn't, at least not at this moment. You can't be serious with that post. There's two extremes here, the people who think Painter infallible and then the folks who seem to think Painter so incompetent that he has a Robbie Hummel just sitting on the bench and not using him.
kind of reminds me of the kid we got from Guerin Catholic some years back that transferred to Lehigh then IUPUI and was hampered by injuries thru out his career
His senior year at Carmel including his 20 and 10 in a win against
Purdue is so deep. Waddell and Berg are both very talented players.
What a bunch on high school scrubs. Not impressed. Ha.
Ok that’s awesome. However, we all know high school stats don’t always translate to college. Also, it seems possibly the ACL tear has impacted his play and slowed down his progression towards PT. I wouldn’t mind seeing him in some of Morton’s minutes just to see how he does. But I’m guessing CMP ain’t gonna do that.
Understand what you mean and in a perfect world, maybe 12 deep would work. I even laid out minutes where it may work. But it’s not a perfect world and I don’t even think high school teams go 12 deep? Players need to get into the flow and so if Lance is hot and going on a run, should we just pull him because someone else needs to get the mins? Or are you going to play fletch less to switch things up even though he is shooting 53% from 3? Then you risk him getting out of rhythm and not shooting well the next few games. Or what if Heide is playing some good basketball the last 4 games, but then we don’t play him much to switch it up and throw the other team off? I think then you’re out thinking yourself as a coach.
understanding Matt and you will see he will not do that. First Matt at least for the most part is not an emotional coach. People can discuss whether he should be or not because successful examples exist on both sides. Matt coaches as he wants his players to be...even keeled-not get too high or too low. He wants the players to play against the game, not the opposition. Forget the score and the emotions attached, but always strive for perfection no matter what you are doing on D or O. He wants his team to be like a machine...and machine like precision. He wants his players ready to sub to be mentally ready knowing who they are replacing and roughly what time watching the opposition and what he might experience going in. Now, there are exceptions due to early fouls or particulars that are needed.
Nothing new under the sun. There always has been and will always have in the future opinions that differ. Many times those opinions take place and someone tells the other he doesn't know anything about basketball and then things elevate as each believe not knowing something as a result of a comment has his or her feelings hurt because each take their understandings as correct. What would be better (because I think there is some, just not enough) is for each side to support a bit better the logic behind their opinion and why that logic exists. Even then what is logical to one may not be to the other, but with better understanding of pros and cons the dialog should improve or at least not result in personal attacks as much. Sometimes, you just don't respond if you can't be support your reasoning WELL or just believing that you DON'T have to have agreement with your position and let some thread go. It is quite alright to not agree with others, but boy if a LOT hold a different view, then perhaps a bit of reflection is needed as well?
I would want one of our incoming recruits to go the prep school route....
He does. I also think some people now talk like Robbie was a superstar, and he wasn't.
3 time first team All Big Ten, including as a freshman (first Purdue true freshman ever with that accolade)
Robbie was an entirely different caliber of player than Mason and Ethan.
“He wants his team to be like a machine..”
Actually there are many coaches that want the precision...the consistency that a machine produces. The variation is reduced and therefore the predictability is enhanced and as the predictability is enhanced the coach has a better idea who can do what relative to strengths and weaknesses. I don't know whether you didn't understand that comment or you disagree and either is okay. No matter what I have explained why.
Yes, very much agree with you. Being machine-like and precise has its benefits and downsides. It’s the nature of reality. I appreciate your points.
So in industry variation reduction is the goal. Once reduced, then shift the mean where you want it...assuming of course that the shift doesn't increase the variation. Even when an ANOVA (Analysis of Variation) is used to see what variables might be in play...say tire wear (rubber hardness & composition, alignment, location of tire, pressure and so forth) , the assumption is that variation is equal and with that equality (that very possibly may be wrong) you basically look for a difference in means whereas in a single group compared to another group the variation is studied and if different as a result of an F-test, then the degrees of freedom are adjusted to compare means with the chosen confidence limit.
Yes haha definitely some similarities. I think my overall, larger point is that treating humans ONLY like machines is to fail to realize that humans are not machines.So in industry variation reduction is the goal.

I know this isn't what you asked, but there are some similarities relative to variation and why any data on the mean should be viewed in light of the variation for a better understanding.
As a person that has been around statistics for a few decades relative to change, experiments and such I'm NOT as big of fan inside the game of basketball. I think it is a great starting place, but I see general average numbers not necessarily accurate for a given game. I believe that the general population that the data is gathered (all games thrown together) is made of of different populations that could be far enough apart that the predictive effect doesn't take place inside a given game. That data used for all populations is NOT just a function of the players, but of the coaches desires that want the players to do certain things
Until his injuries he absolutely was a star player. And even after he spent some time in the NBA. He started every game from the beginning.
The “team” can be more like a machine even when its parts are made up of humans. This is the time of year that the main players are receiving the majority of the minutes in order to get the reps in to be more consistent. Consistency is what is machine like and what Painter is searching for.
