Damon Stoudamire likely to GT
Went 71-77 in 5 years at Pacific. Uninspired hire. GT probably remains a cellar dweller.

Calipari's not a brilliant tactician, but I think even he would happily get 7.5 more layup/dunk attempts per game.I don’t think it’s quite this simple, but it’s close. If Nate Oats coached the Kentucky players during games and didn’t change the tempo, they would likely average around 6 more points per game, as the bottom right image indicates. I would believe that a layups and 3s coach is worth about 6 points over a replacement level game day coach in college.
I don't find the data in Miyakawa's tweet very convincing on its own. A 7% dip isn't that far off what I'd expect comparing a season average (with a lot of home games) against an average of two games against NCAAT-quality teams in a neutral arena.
Edit: General neutral-court 3pt shooting seems to vary by team. Xavier/Gonzaga really good at it on the season. MSU is awful (more than 10% off regular season avg); Miami notable dip, too.
