I wish someone could run this stat on our basketball team

[Irondawg]

I would love to know the following statsrelated to our "work the clock" offense:

1) FG%
2) What % of the time we score on trips on the floor (FT's included and offensive rebounds do not count as a new trip)
3) Point differential compared to opponents
4) Compare those numbers to the 1st 30 minutes of all other games

Those all have to be horrible. We didn't score a FG the last 9 minutes of the game and somehow won.The problem is this is not atypical - over the years we haven't blown a lot of game as a result of this strategy, but we have some and we've made numerous other games much, much tighter than they should have been.

I'm a proponent that when protecting a double digit lead late in the 2nd half, you just make a conscience effort to try and only takereally good looks unless the shot clock is winding down. You try to run some clock, but any good look after about 10 second is acceptable. Then the last 4 minutes if you'vestill got a 7+ point lead you should start to make an effort to at least run 30 seconds or so off theclock if possible.</p>

and we didn't make a fg, but we made nine free throws and were only outscored 9-11 in the final nine minutes if I count right. Just sayin.

So let me be more clear and say you only count up to the time that the other team starts fouling you immediately. So last night we scored 1 pt over an 8 minute span until they started fouling (maybe it was 3 b/c I can't remember the type foul on Benock with :56 left).

The point is that coaches always are supposedly tracking what works well.....what are our stats when we play man vs. zone...when we press....when we run certain plays. Then you let the stats tell you what you do well and what you don't do well.

I just can't imagine the stats show our slow down offense is anywhere close to efficient.

Granted stats don't always tell the whole story...they could show you do well in a zone defense but when you watch the film you realize you actually played horrible defense and the other team was ice cold and just couldn't hit wide open shots. But in most cases they do tell a story and Stans has years of history with this slow down offense to look back on and try and improve.
