I wanted to post that this AOE # is correct and mine was not as I fat fingered a year by mistake and unwittingly transposed a digit on my phone calc. Was not in any way to purposely mislead. Appears my other numbers were accurate.
I could easily ignore this but being accurate matters and when you post inaccurate information you should call yourself out on it.
It doesnt change my opinions on the overall discussion as the combined offensive and defensive efficiency numbers for these coaches are in aggregate so similar:
Archie Miller: AOE: 61.3 ADE: 77.5 = 138.8
Anthony Grant: AOE: 102 ADE: 49.2 = 151.2
Is there a difference? Yes? Is it significant? Very marginal. "Special teams" could explain some of this. Home court value, SOS, injuries, luck factor. I do not see these numbers in any way proving Grant can't coach. What they seem to suggest is Miller is a better offensive coach, and Grant is a better defensive coach (which we already knew). If anything, the numbers of both coaches tell me neither were/are good enough to reach a Final Four with an honest team (no big breaks, bracket implosions etc).
Worth noting that UD is 3rd in the A10 in FG% (.460), .004 behind league leading
Rhode Island (.464). However, UD is 12th out of 14 teams in EFG%-D. Grant's historical strengths have been entirely flipped this season.
Why is that? Why is he coaching the offense effectively, yet struggling with his strength -- a strength even higher rated than Archie?
