@KentWeyrauch love this. I teach data science, so I'd suggest: don't cap at '1 in 1'. if minneapolis is 1-in-92 unlucky, flip the CDF for overperformers so we can see who's been N-to-1 lucky. right now the bottom just shows 'got what you'd expect' which undersells the contrast
Scoop: Josh Shapiro secretly helped a Republican state treasurer's 2024 reelection bid after the official's Democratic opponent had criticized Shapiro as a potential VP pick, a close Shapiro ally said last week.

The guy who created Box Score Plus-Minus literally changed the formula because it rated Russell Westbrook too high, but has done nothing despite his formula saying Nikola Jokic is the best defensive player of all-time.
It's THAT bad.
@Dr_Elon1@LegionHoops context is wolves were without their best player and 3 of their top 6 in minutes. 3 different players set career highs or playoff career highs just going straight at him in the last 3 games.
Stop it.
Israel is aiming with precision to dismantle Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities, a mission the US must support. The whole world will be safer because of it.
@policytensor I don’t understand how to square ‘Iran as 4th pole’ with ‘no toll booth’. A relatively modest toll could help finance reconstruction and power projection, but without that what elevates them above say Brazil, or am I misunderstanding what 4th pole is
Michigan won the title last night because of its defense. That's no surprise. But I'm becoming increasingly convicted through coaching against it and watching it that if you have the personnel, switching 1–4 with your 5 in drop is one of the best defensive systems you can run.
It kills actions early and forces offenses out of their flow. Most teams end up defaulting to isolation or mismatch hunting, which slows everything down and plays right into the defense’s hands.
And when you pair that with a legit rim-protecting 5, even the cracks that do show up aren’t clean, because there’s still size waiting at the rim.
At every level, teams think they can handle switching, but most don’t have real answers once they’re forced to play outside of what they practice. Another reason why it's so important to practice against every coverage and empower your players to continue to find solutions against it!
Most problems I've seen at the HS level and even some college level has been against SWITCHING defenses that are aggressive!
@DANKCHAINS@MattLech So she saw the rise of a different form of politics in her party, and was unable to defeat it electorally. And now she wants to take her (losing) strategy to a new party? Has she thought about why Trumpism was so powerful in the GOP? Has she learned anything? Have you?
@EricWeiss_SA@BigWos@iamrahstradamus You can adjust the parameters to make the edges less obvious. Flatten the lotto odds, call more intentional fouls on late foul situations and all of a sudden there’s no clear answer.
Also we don’thave to optimize everything. The players don’t take granny style free throws…
