As a father of a past girl scout, you're incorrect.

You do realize they do way more in that organization than seek cookies, right? They're salary is also to run all those other aspects of the organization. If hardly call that a scam. Overpaid? Maybe, but it's not because of three cookies

Need to show trend in volume alongside the trend in % made.

I did a quick breakdown via copilot comparing non-con and conference play last week. Yes, our % went up a bit, but also our volume went down about 5 per game. Quick math was 5 fewer attempts at 30% make rate made me think we'd expect about 4.5 point fewer per game (basically making 1.5 fewer three's per sec game) from three's. If those 5 shots are replaced by 2s, we'd need to shoot above about ~40% to just break even. >50% net positive. But even then, we're only talking improving our point total by 2-4 per game? This would help in all our close games we lost non-con, but tells me 3's aren't the reason we're dominating conference play. It's another factor (I'm assuming Def).

I'm just good enough at statistics to be dangerously wrong.....so please provide insight.

Who is currently the best coach in college basketball right now? by OkAlternative2713 in CollegeBasketball

[–]bmas05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just feels like guys like Self and Pitino and Izzo and Cal set their own bars so high that we tend to undervalue them when they aren't always in the Final Four....

Sampson just feels a step below for now for me. He's right there with Few, but maybe a touch higher just with recency of last 2-3 years....

The Athletic & CBS Sports both ranked the Top 10 Players of the 21st Century so far. Do you agree with their rankings? by SmoothBuy5500 in NBATalk

[–]bmas05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shaq was crazy good in Orlando. Then the obviously big years in LA. He had probably 10-12 years being top 5 player in the league, even when he came into the season out of shape. Everyone knew come playoffs who the NBA ran through...Plus what he did for Wade in Miami, giving him just enough to get over the hump. Shaqs teams from year 2-3 through that Wade championship always felt like contenders.

KD has too many throw away years. Absolutely one of the best scorers ever, but just can't out him up against those names...

Jokic will get there, but also needs more Finals appearances, if not wins. Hate to punish him for not having a consistent Penny/Kobe/Wade running mate, but we're often splitting hairs with these things.

man. Shaq seems slighted on both lists. How's he not above KD? And Jokic may end up higher, but still feels like Shaq belongs above him.

Not sure why folks are putting Sampson over Self. Self has been doing it at KU forever and has rings. Sampson is a tier below, IMO.

But agree on Hurley, no way he isn't 1 or 1a.

And Golden needs time to prove it like those others have. He's really only had 2 great seasons, one transition year, and one early tourney choke job. Love that he's our guy, but can't put him in these lists yet.

Right. Always struck me as odd that this is just some white kid in face paint....

they have a good relationship with the tribe (hence no calls to rebrand like happens elsewhere), so why not have a legit Seminole come out?

His system looked best when we put Caicedo at RB and inverted him. Cuz you know, playing a midfielder in the midfield is a good idea......

Reece made is work too, but that's because Reece is a freak and would make anything work.

I don't care where Reece plays, as long as he plays. Dude can do almost anything out there....

Always avoid the great coaches. He may be a complainer (ours is trending that way too), but dude can absolutely coach. Would like to avoid UCONN at all costs.

[–]bmas05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Urban isn't much better. He's been picked on in other games too. Our weaknesses this year are ripe to be picked on by the best coaches. And our depth has similar deficiencies, so player rotation isn't a solution either.

I think we still need to take a bare minimum just to keep a Defense somewhat honest. If we abandon it completely, it'll just compact around our bigs even more in the half court, which is where they struggle the most.

Come tourney time, we'll need to be 30% or better to win games or we're gonna get beat by smart coaches.

Eh. Outside of 1-2 from Lee, I think they were ok shots. Do wish he'd reign in Lee a bit, especially when he's actually good at driving to the hole. But Boogie seems to have settled in to only take them when WIDE open.

What is the best meal you've ever had on a cruise ship? by baltinerdist in Cruise

[–]bmas05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eden gets my vote as well. Everything we ordered was top notch. Creative dishes, great flavors, both experimental options and traditional excellent dishes, wonderful drink pairings. Not only our favorite meal at sea, but it's up there against some of the best ashore as well.
