I'll try again. Look closer. At what point did you expect our coach to stop Daum from shooting? Daum missed his last 4 shots which obviously caused his percentage to drop. Before those he was sitting about 56% with a little over half the shots taken. The rest of the team was about the same. After Daum missed the first one, did you expect TJ to burn his last timeout and tell Mike his percentage was lower than the rest of the teams so please stop shooting? Absurd.
Also, in your haste to discredit Daum and State, you ignored his 16-17 from the free throw line. That's the very definition if being efficient.
His free throw shooting is incredibly efficient and the numbers I pose do ignore that. I can't find a Points per Possession state online, so I'm going to try and figure that one out here:
Breaking down the numbers I can see he had 29 attempts from the field, 9 trips to the free throw line, and 2 turnovers, making for 40 possessions. That comes out to 1.275 points per possession. Not a bad mark at all, but not insane.
We don't get a great sample size from any of Daum's teammates individually, since it appears the other 7 guys combined for 43 possessions using the same FGA, trips to the FT line, and turnovers methodology, but we have PPP ranging from Tellinghuisen's 0.75 to Flatten's 2 with a teammate total of 1.07. Again, I don't think we have a great sample size on any of them to make a good comparison between Daum's efficiency and that of any of his individual teammates.
I would like to compare it to the IPFW players who broke double digits on their FGA. Again, looking at possessions based on FGA, trips to the free throw line (excluding "and one's"), and turnovers to generate a PPP, Calhoun had 1.2, Scott had 1.29, Konchar had 1.57, then Evans is down at 0.83 with his poor night from the field.
If you can find a flaw in this statistic I made up please let me know, it's the best way I could think of to calculate offensive efficiency of a player, but my numbers don't paint Daum as having the unthinkably great type of game that some are describing it as.
Nobody described his game as "insane" or "unthinkably great". Coyote Fan simply posted his stats and you couldn't wait to make some feeble attempt to discredit Daum and State.
Own it.
