Cover your eyes, Ken Pomeroy.
And anyone else out there that seeks to divine wisdom from statistics should do the same after Kentucky Coach John Calipari said something that might shock you.
“If you do your job, the numbers don’t matter!!!” he said in that mock shout he adopts to emphasize his point. “Why are you worried about numbers?”
To support this contention, Calipari cited the Southeastern Conference naming Ashton Hagans as its freshman of the week earlier on Monday. Hagans had five turnovers (and made only one shot that wasn’t a layup) in UK’s victory over Vanderbilt.
