[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 988775, member: 4110"] I'm an analytics skeptic when it comes to sport (and other things). With that disclaimer aside, I think the fundamental problem with this squad so far is our shooting percentage. The turnovers definitely impact offensive efficiency, but it is the missing of too many open shots that has put the ceiling on this club. Don't believe me, go re-watch the UGA game... I fear Jeff Jones Disease. Jeff Jones was the UVA coach and his squads played consistently great defense but couldn't score. Year after year. I think the problem was that his teams expended so much energy on the defensive end that they didn't have any juice on offense. It is an imbalance Issue. Brian Gregory had a different form of this disease, but it wasn't an energy problem, he just never bothered to even practice offense. So, this is a trend that I am going to be watching moving forward: Are we going to be a team that chronically shoots below our talent level. If Stoudamire's teams do have Jeff Jones Disease, then we will be solid but not above middle tier in conference, even if we recruit well. [/QUOTE]
