I think coaches are buying into the analytics more and more but in different ways. I've seen where some coaches on some levels have completely eliminated anything but 3-pointers and layups. Obviously most don't take it that far, but there were coaches even 25 or 30 years ago who did not want their players taking 18-20-foot jumpers. I think most coaches see some value in the mid-range jumper in the right spots.

When a player has an open 8 or 10 foot shot, won't take it, and instead puts his/her head down and bulls their way to the basket against contact....I have to at least question that. I started reading Bill James when I was a kid in the early to late eighties when nobody had ever heard of him. My Dad and I were both more nerds than jocks but this is the thing that made me more of a sports fan than my father who is pretty casual. I didn't want to be the next Johnny Bench. My sports fantasy was to be the first Billy Beane. I watched this from the beginning. Sports didn't adopt analytics because it felt right to them. There was resistance from the establishment. It only became widespread when traditional views on the game started losing. An analysis can never take in all pieces on information but a lot of it is pretty definitive. Keep in mind that part of the positive outcome is drawing a foul which is not just high percentage foul shots but a foul on the opposing player. Having said that, I don't know enough about basketball analytics to say for sure, but I doubt that in every instance passing up an open shot to plow into someone is the right move. I'd say that taking an open 10 foot jumper early in the shot clock is almost never the right move. Now, while analytics are part of the reason that I got interested in sport and I think when people argue against the result the argument is usually emotional and malformed, I think they have made sports more boring. In baseball ballparks have gotten smaller which has compounded the result that analytics were going to find in the first place which is that players should work the strike zone to get a pitch that they can drive much more than they did 40 years ago. This ended up in a game where so many at bats end in strikeouts, walks, and homeruns. Most of the action came from putting balls in play and aggressive baserunning and that was found to be a losing strategy. In basketball, the charge circle and the three point line probably changed what analytics have found which is most possessions should end in a layup/dunk even if contested, three point attempt, or foul. It made the game a lot more boring. But to me a lot of this was taking a game with more simple elegant rules and making it more complicated than it needed to be. Football, which already has a lot of complicated rules, would have its strategy change a lot if 50 yard field goals were worth five points and scoring a TD from your own territory was worth 10 points and defensive linemen were no longer allowed to use there hands engaging Offensive linemen when snapped inside the two yard line. That's pretty much what happened to basketball.

Cece was incredible as usual with the scoring in the paint, but her passing especially early on was tremendous, and most of all the steals were unreal. She is so stealthy. And she does it without sacrificing good defense or getting burnt by failed steal attempts. She had at least a couple more forced turnovers that weren't steals (opp travels, poor inbounds, etc.). If she had an elite outside shot she would be one of the best players in the country and a true pro prospect. As is, I just don't see how she can have a pro career without that. Regardless, she is a joy to watch. Any chance she comes back for a 5th year thanks to the Covid rule? Count me as NOT excited about Erica's return. Not because she isn't awesome, but because she looked extremely limited. Very slow up and down the court and almost never left her feet. I think they only had 7-8 available yesterday and it almost looked like it was a do it because we have to kind of thing and see how it goes. She can still spot up a 3 and dish it out, but defensively she looked extremely limited. Unless her injury improves significantly in the next few days, I am not sure a 50% Erica helps us as much as we like to think. Also, Erica was recognized as one of the graduating seniors pre-game. Did they just do this because she is indeed graduating academically, and it means nothing to her coming back next season given she is a RS Junior? I assume/hope this is the case but it still surprised me.

That would be the three seniors (Hooks, Burris, Rogan) and the three redshirt juniors (Johnson, Kroll, Bambule). If all of them leave, this will be a very different team next season. As far as Hooks' WNBA prospects go, I haven't seen her name mentioned on any of the mock drafts I've seen. CMU's Micaela Kelly is the only MAC player I've seen mentioned. But Hooks does remind me of Armintie Price, who played for 9 seasons in the league beginning in 2007. Similar size at 5'9", 132 lbs. Price couldn't shoot worth a damn - she ended up with a career 3-point shooting percentage of 7.1% and a FT percentage of 56%. Her game was pure speed and defensive intensity, and she was one of the most entertaining players in the game. Hooks is a much better finisher at the rim than Price was, but I think their games are comparable on the defensive end.

Good to see the inside of the place for a change and hear Lou's voice. An Ohio win over Miami, even better. Cece was as good as I've ever seen her play, on both ends of the floor. EJ wasn't moving well, at all. I'd think if she sees extended minutes, teams will attack her on the defensive end. Good to see her contribute, not good to see how limited she was in her movement. And as a whole, if we're this limited in experienced bodies, I don't think it bodes well for Cleveland. With a healthy roster I think the ladies are as good as anyone in the conference, but right now they're nowhere near 100%.

I was also in the Convo on Saturday and didn't think it was super awkward, care to elaborate? I was overjoyed to be there and thought everything was done very safely and smoothly and I appreciated the opportunity. And I will disagree on Erica. While I agree that defensively her movement could be a problem at times, her contributions offensively are a game-changer in my opinion. Nobody connects with Cece the way that Erica does, they are on another level when playing together. If Erica shoots effectively from three that is a weapon that with Cece's ability to get to the rim will cause problems for the opposition. And I thought Erica looked like she was at better than 50%, and I remind everyone that she hasn't played a game in over a month? Cats are a different team with Erica on the floor, even at 60-70%.

Erica adds a different dimension to the team, even if she's not 100 percent. I was actually pleased that she looked as good as she did given the amount of time that she'd been out with that knee injury. If she can play in the tournament, I think we become a much more formidable team.

Erica doesn't have to be 100% to be a difference maker. If she can give the team what she did against Miami for the next three games, we're going to San Antonio.

Well I guess our main disagreement then is that I was overjoyed (excited) for her return, for so many reasons, while you made it a point to say the opposite.

I just felt like, what I was seeing on Saturday, was a player whose greatest offensive strength was taken away by injury. She wasn't able to take anyone off the dribble, and relegated to being a spot-up shooter. We do badly need outside shooting, especially if Bambule can't go, but EJ didn't look able to shake anyone or get to the rim. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I don't think a short bench and limited star player will get us where we want to go, no matter what Cece produces.

But all those layups aren't going to be as easy in the WNBA where the average player is 3-4 inches taller, and her three point shooting isn't going to keep defenders close to her on the perimeter to open up driving lanes. Her WNBA ticket would be mainly as a defender and a point guard dishing dimes, we'll have to see if GMs recognize those talents. I don't know how in the know these people are but on this site they expect Hooks to be drafted if she leaves. https://www.lines.com/wnba/drafts/big-board Hooks is the #27 women's prospect and Johnson is #90. Johnson could have two more years in college if she wants them. Not surprisingly, Micaela Kelly, is rated about the same as CeCe. Bowling Green's Madisen Parker is #80.
