http://beyondthearc.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/07/1736593.aspxIt’s amazing what a good coach can do. Just look at the Pac-10. UCLA (12-2) continues to thrive under Ben Howland.

So what's an "ARate" and a "TORate"? To make your column more accessible to regular sports fans, how about eliminating the "short-hand" and tell us what's so great about Randle's and the Bears' stats? Show us your use of our language not statistical jargon. Thanks. And by the way, it's great to see Cal having a good year w/ their b-ball team. I hope it continues!  http://beyondthearc.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/07/1736593.aspx#1736747Thu, 08 Jan 2009 04:01:09 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1736747Mike MillerIt's not so much "inside lingo" as terms used by Ken Pomeroy on his site, which can found at www.kenpom.com. If you haven't seen his site yet, I encourage you to do so. He includes what each term means, including what role it plays in his analysis.http://beyondthearc.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/07/1736593.aspx#1737888Fri, 09 Jan 2009 06:46:13 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1737888Mike W., San Francisco Bay AreaI've been a Cal fan for a long time, and I haven't seen our team look so disciplined and well-coached since the late, great Pete Newell took us to our only NCAA championship in 1959.
