No, no, no.  That isn't the bench that scored all those points, not really.  The guys that scored all the points are your starters, just not for this game.  Scoring that many points is impressive on its own, however.

You started your scrubs but set your gameplan to give more time to your backups (your usual starters) in a blowout.  So your 'real' starters logged big minutes vs. the opponents backups.  If you want to run up the score, that's the perfect way to do it.

Fortunately, it was against a SIM coach, which has no emotions. I'd be upset if you used such a gameplan against my team.

If you'd be upset by it your too sensitive.

Anyone else bothered by how well Emery is shooting the 3-ball with 63 PER?

137 points in a non-ot game. I think this is the highest scoring non-ot game I have ever seen and possibly the highest scoring half (although I think Chapman in Naismith hit 80+ one time).

First, the high score is a result of what psb said plus  the fact that he runs fastbreak/press.

Second, his team is obviously very talented for a DIII squad.

Third, I am not bothered by Emerny's three shooting at all.  At the DIII level, a 63 per isn't great but it's not bad either, at least in my opinion. It's not like he has a 25 in PER and is shooting like that. If he were going against DI caliber defenders, then a 63 per shouldn't get him those numbers, but he's not doing that - he's going against DIII players who aren't as good.

i'm not saying you are doing this for sure, but I think some coaches need to remember that players at DIII don't need "elite" ratings in a category (or even several) to be able to perform well against DIII talent. We can't think of them like we do DI players, who almost have to be "elite" in some areas to really do well because of the caliber of the talent on the other team.

I guess 71 FTAs will do that...

bistiza, I have played above D3 a grand total of 8 of my 79 seasons (or 7, not sure what counts, but the current Queens season is my 8th), and all of those are D2.  I'm not putting D1 expectations on players.  In general in D3 I would try to limit the 3 pt attempts for a 63 PER player.

ah. this totally explains the otherwise inexplicable move you put on that big in d2 phelan the recruiting season before last. i never realized that you were a basically d3 only coach, good to know! on an unrelated note, you should seriously try d1 some day.

Not at all.  Look at that speed.  That's a picture perfect good 3 pt shooter for d3.

The question is what's really worth more WE: starting and playing 10 minutes or coming off the bench and playing 30? If I were you, Yanks, whenever I start my all scrubs to get them minutes I'd make sure to turn off the put in backups if winning/losing options.

dahs,

I'm sure I'm not as good at this as you are, so there's my caveat in your favor.

Having said that, often times a player with a 63 PER rating is going to be a necessary option (hopefully not the best one) on some of my DIII squads in terms of outside shooting. If it's a developing year or for some reason I don't have several guys above that, I may need that 63 PER guy to hit outside shots. I never view him as being too lowly rated at PER to do it. In fact, while I would naturally expect those with higher ratings to shoot better, I would also expect him to hit at a clip where I wouldn't want to limit his attempts, as you suggest. I would say that even if the player in question did not have Emery's speed, which most DIII level players do not have.

To me, the most facinating thing from this boxscore is that Wartburg already had 7 players foul out, so there were only 5 guys left who could play. And 3 of the remaining guys had 4 fouls each, so they were on the verge of not being able to field a 5-man team. Wonder how the Sim engine would handle that?

I imagine it would be the same as college rules. Players won't foul out but every foul will be a technical, so a ft.

Once you're under 5 eligible players it just plays guys who have fouled out.
