The most hilarious part about hiring Pitino would be the meteoric jump in pace :joy:

VCU And Odom just barely missing out on the Trapezoid of excellence.

Yeah but they do fit inside the Trapezoid of Very Solidness. A slightly larger trapezoid, which is not shown on the chart above.

My next head coach must come from an arbitrary quadrilateral of some kind. I hope Carla is reading.

Did TJP always have a hitch in his shot? This came up in Preston Willets pod with @brogdonfanpage .

I swear it developed early this season (my theory is that his confidence flagged and he developed a hitch).

But was he always hitchy? What say LRA?

I can’t believe they’re still doing it. It is the stupidest thing ever. “High net rating teams are the best. We plotted them against an irrelevant metric and then bizarrely chose a weird shape to put around the top net rating teams.”

(And look, you can draw the trapezoid wherever you want! Stretch it farther to the left to so we include Houston!)

I’m gonna make the Rhombus of Prowess and just keep even more of the good teams there.

I’m gonna keep it simple, with my Rectangle of Righteousness. The y-axis is KenPom rating. The x-axis is average annual rainfall on campus. Amazingly, the rectangle (at the top) always captures the best teams. Thus I have demonstrated the importance of average rainfall.

Finally, I will circle Alabama and label it “Alabama.” Advanced analytics!

It reminds me of the spurious correlations website:

It’s someone worse than that though, because there aren’t even correlations!

Whatever justifications you need to convince yourself that the glow of Trapezoid of Excellence isn’t the guiding light to the purest form of truth

Are you and @BDragon together? You’re starting to sound like him.
