2 hypothetical questions

[dfairchild]

I came across this interesting read on offensive and defensive efficiency.

It is worth the time! Especially when you get to page 2 where the writer
identifies two teams with good efficiency, but flying under the radar - UC
and XU.

According to this metric, UC has the 7th most efficient offense.  This leads
to the first hypothetical question:
1) Is Andy Kennedy a better offensive coach than Huggins?  (From my
perspective, I have not seen any drastic changes.  Matter of fact, I have
not seen much of the fast-paced offense which was talked about in the
pre-season.  What I do see is better pg play than we have had in 4 years.)

The play of Devan Downey leads to the second question:
2) Would Devan Downey see as much playing time as he has if Huggins were the
coach?  Huggins had a habit of playing seniors over newcomers.  I remember
many on the forum being frustrated that he stuck with Taron Barker instead
of giving Chadd Moore more playing time when Moore was a freshmen.

I look forward to your responses.

One last note - the last time Wainwright brought a team to the Shoe
(UNC-Wilmington), UC was lucky to eek out a 10 point win, and we had a
pretty talented team that year - Satt, Logan, McElroy, Davis, Little, Grove,
Williams, Stokes - who went to the sweet 16.

Go Cats!
