Applying some popular terms associated with advanced metrics to this past season.
There is no denying that the use of advanced metrics continues to grow at a rapid pace. In the very near future we'll be talking about offensive efficiency as much as we talk about points per game. We may already be there. But like any tool, advanced metrics, and the terms often associated while using them, are only useful when applied/used correctly. When it comes to NCAA basketball, using the same base assumptions as the NBA is a mistake.
Telling someone that junior point guard Josh Newkirk's three-point percentages regressed this past season sounds better than saying he struggled.
