2012-13 per-possession rankings for the ASC. Over the next month (or two), I'm going to try to get every D3 conference up over on my old blog. Emphasis on try.

Of all the years I end up not having enough time to hang out here, my alma mater goes and makes the Big Dance. Go figure.

Though, it's got me back working on per-possession (or tempo-free, if you prefer) rankings for D3 again.

To finally finish reporting the men's and women's individual numbers for 2011-12, I give you the steal and block rate leaders on my blog. Now, if I could just get around to starting on detailed historical numbers...

New blog post with the offensive and defensive rebounding leaders from this season. Here, I am going to average out the separate offensive and defensive rates to give an overall rebounding rate (though personally I prefer to keep them separate).

Maybe he'll replace Doc Sadler with the Nebraska men? I kid.

And yes, that would definitely be something special.

Out of that group, probably LaGarde based on a better turnover rate than Addison, though it's really a toss-up between the two. I envision LaGarde running point, Addison rubbing off defenders on Steven Jones screens, and Barnes/Miller cutting and generally moving without the ball to maintain spacing. I'm not a coach though so that's about as specific as I can get. The group would probably be a little undersized defensively, but if you're quick enough you can make up for it.

I've often though it would be neat, though probably not nearly cost-effective, for there to be, say, an ASC-vs-SCAC all-star game using the 1st/2nd/3rd team selections as the rosters (or ASC West-vs-East). It'll never happen though, because of money and time.

Sounds like the guy can coach basketball a little.

Maybe he should come coach the Texas women next year. He couldn't do any worse than Goestenkors. Not that I foresee UT ever going into the D2 ranks for a coach.

I'd take the five of Addison/LaGarde/Miller/Jones/Barnes against any other D3 five. That would be sick.

Can someone closer to the UTD program please tell me why Barnes gets this kind of nod, but Kyle Schleigh does not even get honorable mention? Not that Barnes is bad by any means, but statistically they are so close (or better in Schleigh's case) I'm just confused.

New blog post, this time on individual scorers.

The 2011 edition of Louisiana College was the 16th-best ASC squad all-time at +0.23 points per possession. 2011 CTX was only 44th at +0.14. The power teams from earlier years were peaking in the +0.30 range or even higher (undefeated & national champ 2007 HPU posted an absurd +0.44 margin). The difference may just be due to increased parity as CTX and other schools improve, or maybe ASC teams just aren't getting the talent anymore.

How each team's per-possession performance ranks all-time for that particular school:

Concordia-Texas: +0.14, 1st
East Texas Baptist: -0.14, 13th
Hardin-Simmons: +0.08, 14th
Howard Payne: +0.16, 7th
LeTourneau: -0.08, 5th

Texas-Dallas: +0.13, 3rd
Texas-Tyler: +0.00, 7th
