I don't doubt that at all. I was more referencing the fact that A-to-M can also mean something very, very different...something you probably don't want showing up in your image searches...
I’m so confused right now I very badly want to google this, but I also think googling this might be a bad idea...
It was brought up around here years ago when the famed ABM (Atlanta Blazer Man) moved from Atlanta to Milwaukie, and someone convinced him to change his username to A2M (Atlanta to Milwaukie), until their sophomoric ulterior motive was revealed. To clarify as clinically as possible, it is a sexual acronym describing relocating an insertion of some sort from a posterior orifice to a facial one.
Yup got it, google recommended a physics calculator for me - which means I spend way to much time doing math and research on my computer and no time at all doing the other stuff I guess...
where? as in what websites, analysts, teams etc. use it. Ever wonder why you are the only one that uses it and puts any value on it? lol
Well, I am not the only one that used it, as you well know. But here, I would not be surprise if I am the only one that had Slates Gill, or Pete Newell as a coach. Pete won an NCAA Championship, putting a defensive game plan in place to use against the opposing ball handling guard, using that same metadata. That guard was no doubt the best player on the floor, but the defense worked just well enough for Pete's team to win. The tendencies of the guard were exposed in scouting and highlighted by the metadata. It worked. That guard was Jerry West. He got better as a pro but it takes help and understanding of the game by the coach to help the team not become so one dimensional as to have the ball dominated by one guard that is also your top scorer with an unbalanced tendency to score rather than assist even when pressed. It begs the Double team. And this is what we see for the Blazers, come playoff time each season.
If A/M, a situation that begs the opposing coach to double him, a double team that stuffs, and finding an occasional open shooter is what you are seeing, is it maybe something you want to see like a Szondi Test?
So 2 coaches from the 50's and 60's have used out of the hundreds and hundreds of current coaches that don't use it in todays game. Hmmm? The game has passed you by marzy
Two Hall of Fame coaches and there were more. The principal is still applicable to the knowledgeable. Painfully in the case of the Blazers.
Who are these "many more" and why is it not available anywhere, especially all the web sites that have dozens and dozens of obscure stats but no a/m?
Same reason none of you know, you never learned the game. The game is fading into but a skills display. Sort of like Chess morphing into checkers. It does let more become experts though.
WTF are you even talking about? I look at the game as what it has morphed into, not how it was played 50 years ago. Do you know that peach baskets are no longer used? You have failed time and time again to substantiate your a/m stat as a tool that is used in modern day basketball.
