Tempo:Pearl vs Martin vs Tyndall

[VolArmy74]

Here are the raw numbers on possessions per game.


In 2008-2009. Pearl - 73 - Tyndall 69 - Zo 64

2009-10. Pearl - 71 - Tyndall - 68 - Zo - 66

2010-2011 Pearl 69 - Tyndall 66 - Zo 63

2011-2012 Tyndall - 62 - Zo 67

2012-2013 Tyndall - 68 - Zo 66

2013-2014 Tyndall - 66 - Zo 64

At the very height of Pearl's pressing, running, gunning, Lofton/Smith teams our max possessions per game were 74.

Zo had a peak of 67, Tyndall has peaked at 69 in the last 6 years. Tyndall's low point came when Morehead lost Faried and another All-OVC first teamer. He played slow ball that year.

Virginia Military is always near the top in possessions per game, they almost always average over 80 but were over 90 this past year.

By looking at that, Tyndall's pace is normally not quite as fast as Pearls, but generally faster than Zo's by about the same margin Pearl is faster than Tyndall.

Look. You're gonna believe what you want to believe. That's completely fine. Most Val fans were looking at the negative because that's where they wanted to look. If Bruce had made this run to the final 16, we'd've gone ape. But for Cuonzo--because fans personally didn't like him--it was all "he backed in and had an easy run and yada yada yada."

Whatever.

But you're talking four games. And in those games, they could've gone either way. Do you want them to be supermen? Jarnell had a free throw to win on the road. He missed it. A 28% three point shooter knocked down a three.

It happens.

They beat UVA by 35. Nobody cares. THey beat UK by historic porportions last year. Nobody cares. They beat a fine Xavier team by 14 on neutral court. Nobody cares. They got the sweet 16, nobody cares. THe coach leaves. Fans are happy. New coach says we'll be lucky to go 500 next year. Fans are excited.

Whatever.

You all got what you wanted. A coach who will kiss your asses, buy some pizzas, dance around, everyone thinks he plays up tempo, who cares if he actually does or not, but they'll believe he does, and they'll give him 5 years to be mediocre as long as he tells him how great they are.

Everybody loves Butch, but he's not done jack except coach the worst game I've ever seen in UT football which was that Florida game this year and that Oregon game this year. Yeah, he had one big win and blah blah blah, he rah rah rahs so we love him.

Whatever.

We fired the fat boring guy and the last seven years have been just rosy as hell.

Whatever.

Just remember. Tyndall may or may not win here and it may or may not take a long time, but mark you this:

He does not play up tempo ball.:rock:

Worst ending to an insane manifesto since.................................................................





Whatever? :crazy:

Could anyone of you explain to me how a team that presses the entire game is considered slow tempo?? That one slips by me and I know a little basketball. What that tells me is that their is a big defect in the tempo stat. If not, explain it to us. Thanks for your reply!

 

[Sudden Impact]

What are you babbling about? "On the slower end" of the curve. One of the slower teams in the country. Not "slower than Cuonzo." They did end up on the slower end of the curve.

see raw numbers above....see NCAAT tournament average and see NCAA Season Avg regarding Possessions per game.

Pace vs Tempo. Not the same.

Whatever the case we are going to be alright. I am going to enjoy watching the Vols play next year.

Avg Paced team with a fast Tempo Style of Play.
