Player Stats incorrect in Chattanooga Times Free Press today

[CHAMPDDS]

According to the CFP, the stats listed in today's (Sept 27) edition of the Chattanooga Times Free Press are an older version that is not updated. They are going to print the correct one tomorrow...(some teams are not represented in the one printed today)

Does it really matter? Without considering strength of the team's schedule it means very little. Any coach can leave a forward in on weaker teams and let them "run up the stats". It's done by some every year while other coaches won't submit stats at all for this very reason. Opinion?

[CHAMPDDS]

Ask the players....

We all know how players will respond to the question "would you like your stats to be in the paper or not?"

 

All I know is that there are well-respected coaches (respected by myself anyway) in our area who do not submit individual player stats to the press. Only these individual coaches can answer why they choose not to but I assume it is for the reason already stated: I know several coaches who leave their "star" players in against weak opponents to rack up tons of points.

Just curious, what coaches are you pointing your finger at, since you are in the know ?

I had asked and was told that the TFP takes the stats from the box scores. It is up to the coach (normally the home team coach) to submit the game stats. If this isn't done the stats are not complete. Which is probably why you don't see anyone from Baylor, GPS, Hixson, Soddy, . Y0u can't tell me that Thomas (Baylor) or Wyatt (SD) or others, wouldn't be on the goal list if their coaches kept the TFP up to speed on stats.

I know, but I think it is a shame that the girls are not given credit for playing well, even if it is a skewed system....I personally like to see players, that I know, listed in the post-game summaries, just to see how they are doing at their respective schools from my daughter's select team/etc.....one can argue that the coaches don't like stat posting for whatever reasons, but some may boil down to laziness to provide the paper with the stats in the first place...what harm is there in letting the girls see their name in the paper ?...especially those that may get limited play time, and be deprived of the opportunity of seeing their name listed....Just my opinion of course....

I think it is great that the girls get the pub', but the stats are to be taken with a grain of salt. We've discussed this on keeper stats before, and some of the numbers I see on saves and shots on goal are just unrealistic. It really doesn't matter but don't put a lot into the numbers.

Exactly...Thanks Bean !

That's another reason not to send your kids to those two schools.

 

Grandmommies and granddaddies care about seeing their offsprings kids name in the paper.

I'm not sure that it's laziness on the coaches part. There is the arguement that you bred players more concercened with individual stats than the unity or success of the team. When you ask the players, might want to ask a few defenders.

If the stats that were reported reported were from a league (in which every team played the same teams) OR the stats were from prep in which only the conference stats were presented (even then very small value)....actually, they have no value
