Interesting. Big jump for the Lady Vols!

Would like to see points per shot, but that info isn't in the table. Is the source behind a paywall?

That makes a lot of sense to me.

Very good points. I think Zee is a great example. Don't know what has her off to a slow start, but fully expect Coach Kim and her staff to help her return to and exceed the way she was playing at end of last season.

Yes, if you are only looking at the results of shot attempts rather than possessions. And I felt admit the article I cited seems, from what we can tell, to be talking about individual shots for individual players, although in not 100% sure of that. But, from a what helps the team win...

Absolutely. Not only very much like Pat, but post of being a great leader. As is what seems to be her willingness to trust her staff with significant responsibilities.

I wonder if that tendency is part of what Coach Kim was referring to when she said before the season that she was having to slow this team down? There were times late in the Stanford game when Talaysia drove and it looked like all five Stanford players were converging on her. She looked for the...

That's not how I read the article. I read it as saying they added practice analytics to data from games last year, apparently including going back and generating some for the transfers and 1st year players. Not sure how, and I assume those were interpreted in light of the staff's understanding...

Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. That Justin and Kim are a basketball couple and that she talks about her team's challenges with him has been very open. I remember her crediting him with diagnosing an early season problem with one of her Glenville State teams...

@Volfan2012, I get where you're coming from, but I think there are other factors to consider. There's an interesting article by Cora Hall on the analytics that CKC and her staff, with the help of her husband, Justin, have implemented this year. Here's a section that addresses this: I've seen...

I didn't think 32% is the target. It's where Kim's team have typically performed. I guess the goal is somewhat higher. But right now, bet she would take 32!

Ummm... Maybe I'm doing the math wrong. Right now they are shooting about 29% on threes. A ten percent improvement on that would be 2.9%. So, at the current rate of 33 three-point attempts per game, about the more competitions per game. Not the l that big of a jump.

We only need to get about 10% better on our 3pt shooting to be right where Kim's teams have usually been. That is also a level in which an open 3 early in the shot clock is definitely the best shot for the CKC system. I believe this team will settle in, learn when to take 3s, some will find...

I think Mia, like some others, have benefited in their scoring and shooting percentages by cashing in uncontested layups off Cooper's steals.

Yup. It's one of what I think of as five key components of Kim's system. The analytics article in the Tennessean made clear it is the most effective shot in past years for Kim's teams, and threes have been a huge part of her system. From her first year coaching in 2016-17 at Glenville state...
