UMass Coach Kellogg's ultimate coach speak about EMU

Posted: 12/3/2013 1:41:36 PM

"Eastern Michigan has a very high-style arena. It's going to be very tough to play in there, and those guys are going to be very up to play us," he said.

He's right about the arena, but good golly, it's not a tough place to play...

I disagree. It has to be extremely difficult to play in an arena that has no energy in it.

Would not be surprised if EMU wins this game. Anyone else thinking same thing?

I think EMU can win but it doesn't have anything to do with it being a tough place to play. EMU's got a tough squad this year. Not looking forward to Ohio traveling up to the Echo Center later this year to face their team.

I've seen crazier things happen.

I believe the problem there is the "sight lines," right borna?

I've talked to a decent number of coaches and players who find it harder to play in an empty, quiet gym than a packed, roaring arena.

Probably because it feels too much like a practice.

It's interesting that some people say that, but I wonder if there are statistics to show it to be true? Are there different levels of home court advantage for arenas of various capacities and various attendances?

Eastern Michigan leads UMASS 28-24 with 3:13 left in first half.

Also, looks like they actually have some fans in attendance.

At the half, EMU leads UMASS 35-31.

EMU only 3-12 from the free throw line.

Watched the last three or four minutes of the game, where they played like a typical EMU team. (fouling on three point makes, missing layups, bricking FTs). But the surprising thing is they actually had more than 10 fans there.

Exactly 1304 more than 10, to be exact.

I've seen crazier things happen.

I believe it has been studied at greath length, with the conclusion being the atmosphere means next to nothing. Home court advantage has the same effect in the smallest and/or least exciting conferences as it does in the high energy conferences. It is more about the comforts of home and familarity than it is the fan atmosphere.

And the referee advantage. Of course, whether or not atmosphere actually makes a difference doesn't stop players and coaches from believing it does.

^^^^^^^ all this is true....plus being in your own bed ...or at least in a bed on the same campus, eating in your dining hall and having your daily routine not revolving around the dry heat in a hotel room, hours of waiting between shoot around, stiffness fromthe bus ride and packing/unpacking the X box.

never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

I believe a strong case could be made that the perceptions of players and coaches makes a difference when measuring beyond an individual event.

I've seen crazier things happen.
