āinvolved in a domestic violence incidentā
What a gutless wording. āCommitted domestic violence.ā
Then they say suspended by and returned to the them, leaving out his conviction in between.

This kid turned down UVa, went to UNC, then went to Auburn. So I enjoyed this. Plus this Giannis bro was a Westchester knick with Darion

Ken Pom stole my idea! (the Elite 8 poll) Not really, I guess I stole it from him. But still.
But seriously ā this is a good idea!! But also, do I really have to rank all 350+ teams?**

** I should have read, the answer is no, heās got a pretty cool idea of how to do this. Donāt listen to people who say bad things about KenPom. Even if it is your favorite podcast about your favorite team (@DFresh11). KenPom is a mensch!

@AdventiveQuasar @tlgoudy @DavetheWave @zh00s Or any other stat-heads I am forgetting ā where do you find splits for transition buckets? As in, how many of our FGs or points or whatever come in transition, compared to other D-1 teams. On a quick look, I didnāt see it at any of the usual suspects (KenPom, Torvik, Hoop-Math)
Haney finally showing his colors as a Hokie-enthusiast.
Edit - That having been said, KenPom is a national treasure.

No clue what mensch means but sounds derogatory so I will agree

Hoop Math has percentage of shots attempted in transition and eFG on those shots, on the team offense leaderboard.

Good call outā¦ Was hard to find most places except the live stats sites ā¦ I used to keep special stats for my alma mater and a few games in the NCAA Tournamentā¦ lots of human error potential ā¦ points off turnovers, points in the paint, fast break points, 2nd chance points, hockey assists, etc.
And designated home teamās stat crew is always the official stats ā¦ and they can be different than reality or the visiting teamās stat crew a lot.
I remember a road game where our team had something like 30 made FGās for 19 assists and the official stats were 6 assists ā¦

The three man weave thread about our team this year had a table with it over the last 5 years. Not sure where they pulled from.

Hereās what I donāt understand ā The numbers in the āunder 10ā categories sum to the transition numbers, but the total, then, is only 86.4%. Where are the other initial shot attempts?
(this is a cut and paste from hoop-math.com for 22-23 Virginia)
OFFENSIVE TRANSITION SPLITS
The data in this table relate to the initial shot attempts of possessions. Transition shots are defined as occuring within the first 10 seconds of a possession after a steal, defensive rebound, or opponent score.
| Start of Poss | % of initial attempts | eFG% | % Shots at rim | FG% at rim | % Shots 2pt Jumpers | FG% 2pt Jumpers | % Shots 3pt | FG% 3pt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rebound, 0-10 s | 9.2% | 48.3% | 45.5% | 60.0% | 23.8% | 35.3% | 30.8% | 27.3% |
| Rebound, 11-30 s | 27.7% | 52.7% | 34.3% | 59.9% | 25.4% | 38.5% | 40.3% | 37.0% |
| Opp score, 0-10 s | 3.0% | 63.8% | 57.4% | 81.5% | 10.6% | 40.0% | 31.9% | 26.7% |
| Opp score, 11-30 s | 38.5% | 48.3% | 29.0% | 57.8% | 32.8% | 35.7% | 38.2% | 34.6% |
| Steal, 0-10 s | 4.6% | 62.7% | 70.4% | 64.0% | 5.6% | 50.0% | 23.9% | 41.2% |
| Steal, 11-30 s | 3.4% | 56.7% | 26.9% | 50.0% | 26.9% | 42.9% | 46.2% | 45.8% |
| Transition | 16.8% | 55.0% | 54.4% | 65.5% | 16.5% | 37.2% | 29.1% | 30.3% |
Off the top of my head, I think itās:
100% half court
0% transition

I find very interesting the line including numbers after an opponent scores. I 've long coached my soccer teams to press and attack really hard and really fast after an opponent scores as there is human nature to relax after a score and they are vulnerable. Did it again this weekend against a very good team that was better than us ā¦ lost 3-1 and our one goal was about 15 seconds after they scored.
Those are some crazy good numbers in first 10 seconds after a score ā¦ albeit very few attempts. And the FG% at the rim in those cases being 17% points higher than after steals is eye opening.
