@MSE_in_EL wait for him at Moneyball that’s when we find our February and March guys

@bcheelyeah @TouchTheBanner ha I mean lotta folks will disagree on “smart”. I’m personally plenty convinced he’s a good B1G nickel but I expected a different player. thought he’d either be faster or taller based on the hype.

@statsbywill FWIW I think they’ve benefited from pretty significant 3ptD luck that plausibly cancels out Smith’s absence.

@fabianojamie @ChicagoB1G @NoEscalators @HawkeyeLooper it’s really really easy to demonstrate the relationship between D components and 3ptD. thinking teams have 0 control is 2010 shit.

@Alex_Drain We had about a million stupid plays in the half court. The through line isn’t pace, it’s attention to detail.

@BriceMarich appreciate you pulling the subtleties from that post

Alvin Christian researched this for his JMP and the patterns of accommodation usage in higher ed look very different from the patterns of accommodation usage in K-12. And the increase he finds is almost all driven by mental health diagnoses.

@Coach_BWilliams @Coach_Radcliff @RossRFulton @The_Ballmanac @CoachGreggSB44 Sure you’re right but for the folks trying to follow along at home it’s tough. Haven’t seen Thumbs but Fist is in the 2017 Fangio playbook that’s circulating right now. Don’t see it in the 2010 Jets or any Bama playbook I’m (somewhat) familiar with.

Fangio obvi Ryan tree guy.

@2ndChancePoints It was a clumsy point that he meant to use to show how much his son had helped him. And he gave far more praise to Pettiford specifically than Michigan in total. He should never have been on the broadcast outside of the studio.

@CoachDanCasey Aughts Coach Blogosphere fave! Think Smart Football and Coach Hoover wrote this one up? Urban fave too, IIRC.

@inboundike CTU is always yelling the same thing, the playbook here is thinner than Ricky Rahne’s
