Abstract:
|
Since 1991, Coach David Arseneault of Grinnell College has used a unique style of run-and-gun basketball that he calls "The System." In a 1997 book, he outlines what he considers to be the keys to winning basketball games within "The System." These keys are defined as meeting thresholds in various offensive and defensive game statistics. Using data from 9 seasons, we use classical statistical methods to challenge Coach Arseneault's keys and, where possible, refine them.
