However, my team doesn't have a designated stat taker, so touches are too difficult for me to record while coaching.<br /><br />Possessions, however, are pretty easy to keep track of while still coaching and calling lines. I love calculating conversion %, and it's a very telling stat for me to use to look at how my O and D lines are performing. I know that even if my O line didn't get broken in a game, if we only converted on 40% of our possessions, we were in trouble if we played a team with a more efficient offense. It helped me keep my players grounded and focused on our performance regardless of the game score.<br /><br />In a situation where you know the conversion rates of both O and D lines of both teams about to play, those stats would help you predict the type of game you were about to see. Say a good team has an O-line with a relatively high conversion rate and they're playing a lower seeded team that has a D-line with a low conversion rate- that would set off the upset alert: A team with a high risk offense facing off against a D that might not be great at getting turns, but is good at converting turns into breaks.The Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14574980745628968676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9720759.post-20391771147140548752015-05-07T15:22:34.852-04:002015-05-07T15:22:34.852-04:00If you are looking at a teams CR over several game...If you are looking at a teams CR over several games, you should also look at opponents CR over several games as a statistic. You collected the data, you might as well look at it this way.<br /><br />A low CR means some combinations of two things: A good offense and a defense that creates turn overs in advantageous positions.<br /><br />A high OCR means good defense and an offense that mostly turns it over close to the red zone (and maybe good pulls).Flohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13085371955582178373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9720759.post-47689010091996911332015-04-10T09:43:49.960-04:002015-04-10T09:43:49.960-04:00Good point, but I can only work with what I've...Good point, but I can only work with what I've got. There is definitely a bias, not only because of the choice of game filmed but also the events the filming occurs. I will get almost no data from conferences, and likely little from regionals. The same goes for smaller tournaments. But this is a beginning and we can see where it goes from here. I will reserve making any large declarative statements until the sample size is large enough.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01984278623325538508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9720759.post-67542070674879678842015-04-09T22:43:37.323-04:002015-04-09T22:43:37.323-04:00The CR statistic seems interesting but your sampli...The CR statistic seems interesting but your sampling method may be biased towards better teams. You'll probably need to look at a format where every game is filmed to correct the results. <br /><br />Since you're only looking at filmed games you only have two types of games - "interesting" pool play games and the end of bracket play.<br /><br />The problem with the "interesting" qualifier is it hurts the lower tiered teams. So, for example, Texas will only be filmed (during pool play) if they play against a top team like Pitt. However Pitt will be filmed if they play against a top 20 team or another top 10 team. <br /><br />Bracket play is even worse. If you win you are more likely to be included in the sample. So at the Stanford Invite, Washington didn't get their final game filmed but Pitt did. This means if your team has a bad game it doubly effects your CR as you don't get the second data point.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950469051800903047noreply@blogger.com
