I played Murray st few weeks earlier - we were both missing a starter - and I used exact same D and was at home at produced 20-2 disadvantage on FBP (as opposed to this time's 17-0, improvement!) but I still won by 13, and won FT attempts 19-13. The next time we play - same defense, 1 different starter each but same guy at PG. a 19 hands guy. Who made 8 turnovers. Ok well. I guess. But +6 to -20 in FT advantage is like I got stuck with Scott Foster. I feel when the disparities are that wide and variable it becomes a lot harder to enjoy the game. It's the whole RNG life, only you roll snake eyes A LOT more often than a bell distribution would suggest. note, I am not truly making a realism argument, or I'd talk about the number of fta in general, the score of the game, the way pace operates or any number of issues with "realism." I am not. I am saying the wide swings in FTAs and who gets the advantage in them make the game less enjoyable to me. Something nobody else can say beep about given the circumscribed nature. outside of that, I would as an aside say it seems kinda broken that someone could play pressure D 80% of the game and consistently draw less fouls then their opponent, but I don't care so much about that. (I'll just copy what he's doing to exploit the game.) The wide seemingly RANdom swings in fta is a lot harder to accept and enjoy.

I know the variance between two games seems wide -- and I do track all the statistics to make sure the mean and variance are close to NCAA averages. But this happens in RL too -- how many times have you seen a post-game press conference were the head coach is bemoaning the fact that the other team got to the line twice as much as his team. Steve

The sheer amount of games here leads to the chance that there is a game that is up there in weirdness, whatever it may be - not just in free throw discrepancy, but other stats too. Anyways, some of you guys seemed determined to stay on your hill, so good luck! 504 games per day...plus some high school, pro, juco and international games. Steve

Looking at the team history made me think this could possibly be real. Then I considered the Venting thread because I could vent about this in the name of the other owner or maybe coach Clemens. Yet in the end I think this is just a Foul, though not sure who by -- the team, owner(s) or the alumni? Let me know what you what thread you would have done. Here is what I found (look at the Alumni Mood): http://onlinecollegebasketball.org/team/526

I think it's more than a minor discrep and I think in large part the sim works which to me calls attention to the continued VERY WIDE bars on this. The differences should not be THIS wide. but that's my hill. 34-6. it only seems to afflict visting teams. never see a home team with this margin. but this is my hill, I have a tent, you'll see me here.
