Assessing Success In An Uptempo System

Posted Aug 6, 2013
Last year’s North Carolina squad was 8th in scoring offense (40.6 ppg), 12th in total offense (485.6 ypg), 53rd in scoring defense (25.7 ppg), and 57th in total defense (389.6 ypg). Yet none of those numbers give a very accurate indication of the quality of the offense or defense. Larry Fedora’s uptempo system and others like it are the primary reason these stats are now obsolete. (Inside Carolina)
