Running Head: COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYING STYLE 1 What Style of Ball Should a College Basketball Team Play? January 14, 2018 COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYING STYLE 2 Abstract The question I am trying to answer in this paper is “what style of ball should a college basketball team play?” To answer this question, I analyzed the data of points per game, opponent points per game, and winning percentage of every Division I and Division II and almost every Division III basketball team for the 2016-17 season. I concluded that offense is slightly more important than defense for Division II and Division III college basketball teams. Division II and Division III coaches can apply this finding by emphasizing their recruiting on better scorers. Keywords: player selection, playing style, recruiting COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYING STYLE 3 What Style of Ball Should a College Basketball Team Play? The question I am trying to answer in this paper is “what style of ball should a college basketball team play?” I got the idea for this question from the chapter in Tobias J.

BRAIG Our sports are liturgies-but do not have dogmatic creeds. There is no long bill of doctrines all of us recite. We bring the hungers of our spirits, and many of them, not all, are filled-filled with a beauty, ex- cellence, and grace few other institutions now afford. Our sports need to be reformed-Ecclesia semper reformanda. Let not too much be claimed for them. But what they do superbly needs our thanks, our watchfulness, our intellect, and our acerbic love.' I. INTRODUCTION For decades, the community of high schools in the Ohio High School Ath- letic Association (OHSAA) has sought to regulate interscholastic athletics by prohibiting external influences upon students that are potentially inconsistent with the educational and community values of athletic participation. Tradi- tionally, the recruiting of a student for athletic purposes has been the primary influence that the OHSAA membership has sought to combat.

    ESPN.com - Don't expect much to change in Big 12 Page 1 of 2 ESPN.com: Katz [Print without images] Wednesday, May 2, 2012 Don't expect much to change in Big 12 If the most pressing issue for the Big 12 in its new configuration is how to schedule West Virginia road trips, there isn't much to be concerned about going forward. The Big 12 men's basketball coaches wrapped up their meetings Tuesday in Phoenix with its new members -- West Virginia and TCU -- replacing the departed Missouri and Texas A&M. And the consensus was that the league is actually as strong as it's ever been. "I never questioned the stability," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "The anchors were always the ones that wanted to keep it together -- Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. I know our AD [DeLoss Dodds] never wavered on keeping the league together. We're very comfortable with where it is right now." The Big 12 made an easy switch in adding West Virginia and TCU. The league will continue as a 10- The Big 12 welcomes WVU, which has made five team conference for the foreseeable future with a new straight NCAA tourney trips under Bob Huggins. television agreement that will ensure even more status quo. Kansas is coming off an appearance in the national title game. Baylor made an Elite Eight trip for the second time in three years. And four others made the NCAA tournament, meaning 60 percent of the league went dancing. The odds are high that the Big 12 can duplicate that percentage going forward.

One of the most respected coaches in the country and a nation - O al champion was coming to Gold Country to lead the Gopher program. The excitement of bringing one of the top coaches in the country to the University of Minnesota was only matched by the satisfaction of welcoming one of the classiest individuals in the world of college basketball today to the Maroon and Gold. In his first season at the “U”, Smith took a team that had won nine games the season before to a 20-14 record. The Gophers finished sixth in the Big Ten Conference at 8-10 and were the sixth seed in the Big Ten Tournament. The 11-game improvement in the win column from the 2006-07 season is the largest season turn - around in school history and tied for the second-best turnaround in Division I in 2007-08. Also, the five-win improvement in conference play was the second biggest Big Ten turnaround in 2007-08. Smith came to Minnesota with a reputation for winning at the highest level not matched by many coaches in the country. In his 17-year career, he has claimed a National Title (Kentucky in 1997-98), made four “Elite Eight appearances”, nine “Sweet Sixteen” appearances, posted 15 straight 20-win seasons and has the 12th-best active winning percentage of any coach at the Division I level with a 407-159 record (.719).

  • The Best Coach Evaluation Based on CW-TOPSIS Xudong Yang North China Electric Power University, Baoding, China
    2nd Workshop on Advanced Research and Technology in Industry Applications (WARTIA 2016) The Best Coach Evaluation Based on CW-TOPSIS Xudong Yang North China Electric Power University, Baoding, China Keywords: best coach, evaluation, Composite Weight, TOPSIS, AHP, entropy Abstract. We analyze the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order Prefer- ence by Similarity to Ideal Solutions (TOPSIS). We build an old model based on the combination of them, which is named AHP-TOPSIS. The old model is built as: First, use the AHP to determine the weight of each factor on the coach’s evaluation. Then, use TOPSIS to rank the coaches. After ana- lyzing the result of the old model, we draw a conclusion that the weight vector calculated by AHP is subjective. Therefore, we decide to find a more objective method.Next, we build a totally new evaluation method based on the Entropy and AHP, which is named Composite Weight-TOPSIS (CWTOPSIS). The AHP is a representative of calculating subjective weight, which ignores the ob- jective factors. The Entropy is a representative of calculating objective weight. It depends on objec- tive numerical indicators, but ignores the relevant experts experience and subjective judgment. So we introduced the preference factor β to combine them together. We compare the results of the two models, and we can see the improved one has more advantages. Then, we take other factors into consideration: time the coach coaches and gender of the coach. We analyze them separately, and draw the conclusion that the time factor does affect the evaluation result and the gender factor has little influence on the final result.
