In response to Bison137
Updating the current Bison ranking in various defensive stats:
- OVERALL DEFENSE: 337th (out of358)
- TURNOVERS BY OPPONENT: 358th (out of 358), i.e. dead last in forcing turnovers.
- STEALS: 354th.
- BLOCKS: 342nd
- DEFENSIVE REBOUNDING: 337TH
- DEFENSE AGAINST 2-POINTERS: 209th
Two possible conclusions: (a) coaching staff is incapable of coaching any defense; or (b) staff is incapable of recruiting players who can play defense. I lean more towards (a). I think in six weeks, Trevor Woodruff could have this team playing passable defense.

For a little balance, let me add that the Bison rank 317th in the nation in offensive rebounding and 329th in the nation in preventing steals by the opponent.
Inductive problem solving: A la Trevor Woodruff idea.
1. Get Flannery, who is probably mortified by these numbers from his protege, to take over the coaching duties.
2.Hire Paulson back, who could remedy these numbers in 21 to 30 days. A win/win for both Paulson and Bucknell
