Analytics or analytics say

Granted these terms also get thrown around entirely too much when people aren't talking about sports too.

In a high-scoring, back-and-forth game, “It looks like the last team with the ball will win” No, it should be: “It looks like the last team to SCORE should win.” Announcers screw this up all the time!

Probably the emphasis on playing “assignment football” against option teams, as if that’s not important against all offenses.

Dime
He threw a dime
Danny dimes
He had 20 points 8 rebounds and 7 dimes
Drives me nuts

One time Stephon Marbury said in an interview he wanted to have “10-12 dimes, 2-3 assists”

Physicality

I hate when a basketball team is praised for being physical. You mean they foul a lot? Some teams apparently get a free pass. South Carolina under Frank Martin was one.

I hate transfer portal.

There is no portal. They are transferring

I hate opt out. They are not opting out, they are quitting. Same as load management -- quitting.
