Title: The path of a coach
Post by: CHONGS on April 05, 2012, 10:12:03 PM
Below are four coaches, you can probably guess who they are if you try hard enough.  I show their coaching as a function of time (their first year [at least that I have stats for] is the dot then just follow the arrow).  The band of color are contour levels for expected winning percentage given the offensive and defensive efficiency.  I can add more coaches as I go along, but I thought some might think this interesting.

Idk, but for whatever reason i feel like the blue line is the one we shouldn't associate ourselves with in any way shape or form.

can't figure out who red is.  Fox has been at UGA for 4 years.  but here his OE is below 100.  looking at the Chings chart it seems OE  might be inflated.  i'll go w/ michigancat and say it's fox.

I thought each was a point was a year as well.  If this is not the case, please explain it.  It looks to me like there are 5 data points for the purple (Frank), 9 for the Black (Self), 9 for the blue (Weber), and 4 for the red (unknown).  Also, I went back and looked at the coaching changes 4 years ago and I can't figure out who the red would be unless a datapoint is missing.

Yes each vertex is a year.  You read the plot by starting at the dot and moving in the direction of the arrows (the arrows are places in the middle of the path and at the end).

No has had the red on correct yet... how quickly we forget him.

yes, I think this is correct. Kenpom only has 4 of Wooly's KSU seasons.

Is it possible to have the paths change color when there's a coaching change? So we could see Wooly, Huggs, and Frank all in one path? I think something like Kelvin->Capel->Kruger would be interesting.

People who felt Martin was reaching his limit as a coach have a pretty good picture to back it up here. His teams seemed to follow the same pattern every year. It would be interesting to chart his progress at SC once he gets his type of players in there.

chingon, these are interesting.  i think the magnitude of movements and the consistency of space occupied are more interesting/important than vector direction.
I had orginally made these with just magnitde (trying to see if coaches completed an orbit of sorts and then I was going calculate this area), but I noticed that putting the points in a order painted a picture of a direction within a program.  There is a difference between a coach who trends to the lower left and one who trends to the upper right.

The middle left is the SLTH zone.

I think this is particularly true of the Wooly/Hugs/Martin one.  On the other hand, the coaches with consistent vector direction are interesting too, if just for how unusual they are (Marshall).

If we can retain Angel, next years data point will hopefully be somewhere within the circle Martin was drawing. After that, all bets are off as our players will probably have transitioned fully away from Martin's style of ball.

Large magnitude shifts that are more or less parallel with expected winning percentage strata are really weird, but they are awesome!

To be fair, they've never made a commitment to basketball and I believe they are serious about giving it a try.  Whether or not their fans are is a different story. It goes to show how bad things had gotten for Frank to leave everything he had going for him here.

People who felt Martin was reaching his limit as a coach have a pretty good picture to back it up here. His teams seemed to follow the same pattern every year. It would be interesting to chart his progress at SC once he gets his type of players in there.

Except that the 12-13 team probably would have been similar to the 09-10 graph.  That is a pretty good limit imo, and one that yields a high NCAA seed and a shot at a conference title every 4-5 years.

Not really relevant to the discussion, but would be interesting to see.  a group of K, Roy, Self, Cal, Calhoun, Donovan and maybe Izzo.  Would also be interesting to see the NCAA champs from 2002-03 to present graphed.

The band of color are contour levels for expected winning percentage given the offensive and defensive efficiency.

Where does this data come from?

its not data, but the band are a formula of my own accord based on log5 principles.

Don't know if its possible or not, but could you chart games from a singular season? Say, oscar before and after he lost the Illini?

yeah I don't think its very useful to look at.  Almost every team will end the year in the black area (because they lost).  Too much variance between strength of opponent and what not.

I think the yearly trends are fantastic though. Thanks again for doing them. How about Norm Roberts -> Steve Lavin and FAU w/ Mike Jarvis and the guy before him?

I think it's the 2007 Florida Gators.

Obviously according to the metrics KU is numero uno, but you have to remember that the 06-07 Florida team kind of lollygagged through the regular season but was completely dominant in the tournament.  KU did beat that FLA team with basically their same squad the year before (add Julian Wright). 

I'm surprised that the 2004 UCONN team rated so poorly.
