I took a look at some team categories to get an essential idea of who we are as a program under Cronin in terms of different (on court) stats. I threw out stats from his first 4 years and this year. I also took out the highest and lowest number in each category for the remaining 8 years.
So the 8 years used were basically all of his tourney years and I think that has been a pretty solid consistent snapshot of who we are under him. I looked at Barttorvik page to see where we ranked in each category (on average).
ADJO...70th
ADJD...13th
TO%...60th
TO%D...69th
OR%...15th
DR%...170th
FT%...242nd
2%...178th
3%...190th
Obviously we have always been pretty horrible at shooting. Our ADJO looks much better (I guess because of offensive rebounds). We will always be great at D and OR. I would have guessed our TO% rank would rank higher with the amount of emphasis Cronin puts on it. Overall not a lot of surprises except for the TO category
