It isn't "his analytics." It is a body of work that has been developed over the course of time, just like in baseball. And if you are a coach that doesn't "go by" them, you won't be a coach for long.

You don't have to look too closely to see that the game has changed. Post game is emphasized less. Mid-range game is disappearing. That's not a coincidence. It's because metrics are showing teams how to be more efficient - as D'Antoni mentioned above.

Man, you guys really like to hear yourselves talk. NOBODY here disputes that metrics are not an important part of college basketball and just about every other sport today. NOBODY. Why can't you comprehend that there are many attributes that cannot be measured by metrics that also play an important role in evaluating talent? Why can you not accept that regardless of having metrics coming out your a$$, you'll never be able to predict how a kid will respond to a certain situation at a certain time of a certain game?
Any coach that doesn't use the eye test and look for immeasurable intangibles will also not be coaching for long.

Curious, what was the highest level of competitive sport that you played?
