@inpredict Almost identical to yours ...

@mdsumner Got to be a "cadastrophes" joke in there somewhere ...

@adnosk @MikeMahoney218 @mdsumner I just want to know where my data puddle fits into the scheme of silly descriptors. You know, nice size, not too deep, but a bit muddy and the odd data frog if you're not careful.

[databsurdist @databsurdist]

@mdsumner It's where you go to drown in data? Or maybe it's where your data holiday house is, with a data boathouse that has your data boat and you go data fishing.

Also huge thanks to @databsurdist for all the https://t.co/K2CDAvjRHm resources which we used to import data and overlay to images in #rstats

[databsurdist @databsurdist]

@NateNgo1 @TPwidd Oh, I totally agree. Kills per set is a terrible way to assess an attacker's ability to kill the ball, for all the reasons you mentioned! In some small defence of the NCAA stat board, though, it does provide hitting percentage, which is a better way of doing so.

[databsurdist @databsurdist]

@NateNgo1 @TPwidd TL/DR: choose your poison, nothing's perfect, but it matters what you're trying to measure. 7/7

[databsurdist @databsurdist]

@NateNgo1 @TPwidd But e.g. kill percentage only measures a player's ability to kill the ball, and nothing about other outcomes (errors) nor about a player's impact on the game during non-ball-contact times. 6/7

[databsurdist @databsurdist]

@NateNgo1 @espn Of course!

@NateNgo1 @espn Real-time predictions of set/match outcome. Probabilities change as the match progresses. Olympics Men's final shown here. @ickoCS

@NateNgo1 @DaveShondell @emilyehman @BrianHurler And/or anchor it back to the court locations, which might give a more immediate connection to what the viewers are seeing
