Sunday's Reflexions: About Basketball Statistics and Statisticians Lies
Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
About Basketball Statistics and Statisticians Lies
Stats don’t lie. Seriously. If Joe Blow scores 20 points in a game, he scores 20 points. If he does it on 10 for 36 shooting with 12 turnovers, and Johnny Analyst praises Joe Blow’s brilliant offensive performance, then it’s Johnny Analyst doing the lying, not the stats.
Offensive and defensive rebounding are different things.
I mean, it was 14 years ago that the NCAA began distinguishing between offensive and defensive rebounds.
It was a major advancement in stats keeping. Yet, with the exception of Fran Fraschilla, analysts will simply refer to a team’s “rebounding” either qualitatively or quantitatively, which often is misleading.
These are two distinct, albeit related, skills. Offensive rebounding requires individual effort. Defensive rebounding is more team oriented.
Florida is a great defensive rebounding team. They are not a great rebounding team - they are less than great on the offensive end. (Ken Pomeroy)
