Re: Tod Kowalczyk - Announcement on Tuesday
This year Bowling Green was 247 in offense and 209 in Defense, so a little better on D and drastically worse on O.Elkaggie wrote: ↑March 28th, 2024, 9:57 pmYikes!! Why would we even consider this guy based off of this alone.

They were 354th in fg% on defense. 359th in 2 point defense. 339 in blocks, 278 in turnovers forced and 297 in points allowed. In short, they were one of the worst defenses in the country.Elkaggie wrote:Back to the topic.

Anyone know how I find this data??

What about Simon?
His last year at SUU was 98 on O and 141 on D. The year before he was 99 on O and 249 on D.
TK is so much better on Offense typically, I would rate him as the better choice. He was 5 on 2023 there
Eric Henderson is pretty meh here as well. The clear winner when looking at things this way is Will Wade who was 60 on O and 88 on D in 2024.

Re: Tod Kowalczyk - Announcement on Tuesday
So what you’re saying is Simon is as bad as Kowalski or whatever his name is? I just want to be sure, because you haven’t been super clear on thatStanfordAggie wrote: ↑March 28th, 2024, 10:57 pmBetter not look at Simon's numbers at SUU then, because they weren't any better. My response would be: 1) Their offensive numbers were much better. 2) Yes, if you put a MAC team with MAC-level players in this year's MWC, they probably wouldn't do well. I like to believe both coaches' numbers would improve when they have MWC-level players on their roster. I haven't looked it up, but my guess is that advanced metrics didn't think highly of Sprinkle's Montana State teams or Odom's UMBC teams, because they were in lower-tier conferences and had lower-tier players.Elkaggie wrote: ↑March 28th, 2024, 9:57 pmYikes!!

Re: Tod Kowalczyk - Announcement on Tuesday
The more time that goes on the less and less I think Tod K will be our next head coach.

Re: Tod Kowalczyk - Announcement on Tuesday
No, my stance is that I would be thrilled with either of them. I'm just finding it weird that so many people are pro-Simon and anti-Kowalczyk given that they have very similar resumes. Both turned two bad programs into consistent winners. Neither has had any success in March. Neither seem to play much defense. I would lean slightly toward Kowalczyk if it were up to me given that he has had a higher level of success for longer. But I would be happy with either of them.afausu wrote: ↑March 29th, 2024, 7:47 amSo what you’re saying is Simon is as bad as Kowalski or whatever his name is?

May or may not actually mean anything. Just interesting. From a Toledo reporter: "A lot of pieces still moving here, but Tod Kowalcyk is at Mud Hens opening day in Toledo today."
