@Rooster1. Absolutely !

Oh! Now I understand the question. Going from memory rather than box score details, I think it’s pretty accurate for recent games. For another example, probably more useful because starters account for a much larger % of minutes played, look at the Evil Empire. Fudd and Strong seem to score around 75-80% of total starter points.
How does it play out for SC?

ETA: This would be a good question for one of the aI bots. @RetroVol

@Rooster1
I just went to StatBroadcast and looked at archived box scores. For SC and UCt it's pretty straightforward to see how close the top two starters come to 80% of starter points recorded. For TN it is more muddled because (1) the starting five is less consistent and (2) the starter minutes are a much smaller % of total minutes and points, such that statistically it is not meaningful.

I trust @RetroVol could construct a query that would have Claude or one of its brethren and sistern/sistren* tell us how close these teams come to a Pareto-like outcome.



*Replacement for "brethren" to refer to mostly female group

Good stuff. As for SC, they would violate the principle, as would most of the top teams most often for the past 10 years imo. Deep, quality bench strength has been the secret sauce for a decade.

Thinking of common stats, I would expect to see a Pareto like concentration of outcomes for blocks and perhaps assists. Points scored, turnovers, and fouls are apt to be much less concentrated for most teams.

No reason at all to over complicate the term for a group of like minded females. I always used “coven”.

No wonder all the ladies just adore Mister Chuckles. 😘❤️😍💕

One might say that the 20% cause or input in this case falls into the realm of coaching mostly. You see, it could be that the HC’s input Is mostly good, but around 20% of it is bad and affects 80% of the results. Since we are picking nits. Besides, I was trying to recover @BruisedOrange ’s excellent post and it was worth a spin….😉

Appreciate the charitable gesture, Rooster1. I'm actually under 24-hour spin doctor's care

This got to be the funniest and most illiterate false narrative I’ve ever seen that an assistant coach is the reason for every top recruit 7 including 4 McDonald’s All-Americans coming to Tennessee and them leaving or not is going to cause a mass exodus 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
There needs to be serious changes to internet usage. I’m out again just had to lmao in writing at the fake news thoughtout this thread 👆👆👆👆.

See you later on after Candy gets BTA.

Think Taylor may have saved her job with that stretch of wins. Beating number 19 Ole Miss on the road should keep her around.

I doubt it. They had a good run but I think she’s still out. Barely over .500 and going nowhere. Still think they make a change regardless of the last season push.

Hmmm... A&M won just one fewer SEC games than TN and had a better record than the Lady Vols against Top 25 teams. They also won six of their last seven games (including against TN) while TN... well, you know.

Yeah and for that reason I said I honestly thing they deserve and NCAA tournament berth more than we do at this point.

Fact remains this is Taylor’s fourth season and she has only a 22% SEC win percentage and 44% overall. Regardless of the last 6 weeks that’s firing territory.

A seat caught fire. Rutgers looking for a coach.

It was never going to be easy to replace a legend like C.Vivian Stringer. What a competitor! What made her career even more impressive is how much personal tragedy she worked through all those years. From having a severely disabled child, to losing the love of her life to a sudden heart attack, and then to become the primary caregiver for her mother who had Alzheimer’s dementia, the road was never easy. But Stringer ran a clean program everywhere she went and, up until the final handful of years, was very successful at every stop. She coached quite a few players into professional careers.

Anyway, I hope Rutgers can get back to prominence at some point point. I miss their presence. I thought Coquese W. might have success, but it was not to be.

We really had some games with them. We usually always won, but it was always a competition.
