Calipari's UMass Tops 16 New Schools In Value Add Basketball Game

We finished the first stage of developing the cards- always 10 players to a team - of 16 strong college basketball programs that did not yet have a team in the Value Add Basketball Game. We started this project after finishing our Christmas tournament with Bill Russell defeating Wilt Chamberlain for a mini-title.

The best of the new 16 teams is Massachusetts (UMass) when John Calipari took them to No. 1 in the Final AP poll in 1996 and a final four. Two teams that still need to prove themselves over time, but seem to be building strong programs are Liberty University's team from a year ago that gave Wisconsin a scare in the NIT and reeled off wins to start this season, and James Madison University, which is currently ranked and was ranked in football in just their second year at the FBS level.

The following list shows where each team finished in the final AP poll, and then how they did in the tournament. We then calculate their offensive and defensive rating based on how many points we'd expect their cards to produce per 100 offensive possessions, and allowed per 100 defensive possessions. The bigger the gap the better the team and the overall rating is that figure -17, since the average great team is about 17 points better than an "average" team.

UMass' 110 and 90, 20 better than an "average* team but +3 better than the average great team in the game. We will likely set up a 16-team tournament and would out the against the 16th beat new great team, Liberty University with a 107 and 105 for a -15. This means we'd expect UMass to be about 18 points better than Liberty in 100 possessions or about a 12-point favorite for a 66 possession game.

Then we have developed just the first part we need to do on the cards. Basic info so you know how good they are, and then their Stamina and which possessions we recommend each player is used (in the game the possessions start at 44 and to down to 1 as the final possession). 

We did not list the positions, but they are all in order, so the first player listed in the starting point guard (PG-1), then the starting shooting guard (SG-2) etc, with the sixth player starting the reserves as the back-up point guard etc.

The rest of the cards will be developed, but this is always the first step to research a new team.

March Madness 2: Coaches with Deepest March Madness Runs

The second key factor in winning March Madness games is if a team's coach has one games and made runs in the past. 

Before picking that big upset, consider that 72% of Division I NCAA teams are coached by a team that has NEVER won a single NCAA tournament game. 

We clicked on the coaches for all 358 teams in www.kenpom.com and realized 257 of 358 never advanced past Round 1 (R1). To make it much easier for you, if you simply search this blog for a team you are considering picking, and nothing is found, then the teams coach has never won a tournament game while coaching that team or any previously teams. We set up a rating system for each coaches' deep runs, but before we explain that, we will start with the seven coaches who get a "10." These seven coaches are the only ones who have both won an NCAA title and taken a second team at least to the championship game. Some have won more than one, but once a coach has taken at least two teams to the title game and won it at least once, we give him a "10."

 

Team	Conf	Current coach	Deep Run Rating
Duke	ACC	Mike Krzyzewski	10
Iona	MAAC	Rick Pitino	10
Kansas	B12	Bill Self	10
Kentucky	SEC	John Calipari	10
Michigan St.	B10	Tom Izzo	10
Syracuse	ACC	Jim Boeheim	10
Villanova	BE	Jay Wright	10

The next 67 coaches have won at least two tournament games at some point in their coaching career. To rate them in order, we give them credit for their two deepest tournament runs, starting with their best run: 7 points if the coach won the National Title. 6 pionts if the coach took a team to the title game but lost. 5 points if the coach took the team to the Final 4. 4 points if the coach took the team to the Elite 8. 3 points if the coach took the team to the Sweet 16. 2 points if the coach won a game to go to the second round. 

To give more credit to coaches who had more than one run, we then looked at each coaches second deepest run and added the following number of points: 3 points for making a second title game (whether they won or lost). 2 points for making it to the Elite 8 or Final 4. 1 point for winning at least one game in a second tournament. When you add these points together the seven listed on the table above are the only ones who get a "10" for the championship and at least one extra trip to the title game, but the following coaches all won at least two tournament games (if that is all then they get a "3" whether it was two wins in one tournament or a single win in two different touranments) all the way up to 9 points for a title run and another run to at least the Elite 8, etc.

Do note that we put (left) by coaches from this season who have won more than one tournament game but have left their program listed. That includes Tom Crean from Georgia, Chris Mack at Louisville and Cuonzo Martin from Missouri. It also includes coaches who had runs at big problem years ago and are finishing at smaller programs such as Mike Davis (Indiana run but now at Detroit Mercy), Mark Gottfried (Alabama runs but now at Cal St. Northridge) and Cliff Ellis (National Coach of the Year at Auburn in 1999 and now at Coastal Carolina). Finding out where coaches had gone made this a fun though time consuming effort.

The following are the 30 coaches who have won one tournament game, but only one. the first win is the toughest, so a coach on this list is probably more likely to pull an upset than a coach who has never won a tournament game.
