Coverage Analysis

In charting, “Coverage” indicates the level of detail which is covered by the media available for a specific game or season. In order to provide estimates of player value, each play or possession is charted and the Kansas player(s) most responsible for that play occurring is allocated that play (with its inherent value, good or bad) to his ledger. After some math, a value score estimate is provided that can be compared to others of different seasons and positions.

Coverage is an important aspect to this exercise, because with better coverage we have a better estimate of a player’s value score. The theory behind charting is that, simply by keeping a record of which players did “good” or “bad,” we can reasonably rate players for comparison. With more information, this rating gets more accurate.

Specifically, coverage relates to something along the following scale:

TV broadcast – Video Highlights – Radio broadcast – Play-By-Play – Box Score – Message Board Game threads – Newspaper Summary Articles

What’s best is the TV broadcast itself, but short of that there are other supplemental media sources that help determine how to best chart the game. Note some of these work well together. Without a full game broadcast, having video highlights along with the official play-by-play summary is a good source of reconciling possessions using accurate info. But as we go back further in time, less and less of this is available. In some instances, all we have is Box Score data. Effectively, this is a “bare minimum” of coverage.

Like the player value stats themselves, coverage is itself recorded and graded. A score of 100.0% is best with 89.0% being set as the middle and 78.0% being worst. Since 2006, the coverage by season is as follows:

Coverage has been near-perfect since 2019, which was the first season for this project. Every season prior to 2019 was done retroactively, and the Coverage had to be obtained through archival means. As we go back further in time, we see the Coverage score slip lower and lower.

Coverage isn’t exactly at 100% for the recent seasons solely because there are a few plays that the TV coverage didn’t fully capture and/or there are a few games that weren’t caught live and had to be pieced together through an edited highlight video that, while very good, wasn’t exhaustive enough to show each possession for that game. But, effectively this won’t change value scores much.

The Full Video Left column shows the number of games that season that don’t have full video coverage, or a coverage score that is at least 95.7% for that game. Some games have a small segment missing (such as the first 3 minutes), but these are still given the “full video” designation. What this column shows is how many games are still there to be hunted down in order to fully complete this project.

The % Video column indicates the number of plays which are tracked through video. It will tie closely to Coverage. This metric is a good judge of how much more media there is to find for that specific season.

The last column isn’t complete for each season, but it shows which percentage of plays get a Coverage score of 90% or higher. In order to get a coverage score of 90% or higher, the play must be either viewed through video, heard through radio, or be recorded through play-by-play. Certain plays that aren’t available will be all possessions before play-by-play is available (which is most games before 2004), defensive possessions with no video/radio in which there is an opponent make or non-steal turnover, as well as other odd possessions that play-by-play doesn’t give full context to. Before 2006, this number will likely be far lower.

Random Jayhawk Players – Statistical Breakdowns

As part of off-season content, Kansas players of seasons past are randomly selected to be featured in a breakdown of their careers. The players who were selected are listed below. Click on the link to discover who they are and how their careers look based upon the numbers.

Random Jayhawk Player Breakdown

For the off-season, periodically a random Kansas basketball player will be selected for a deeper statistical look. Since 1994, there have been 172 players who have played in at least one regular season game. The first random player selected was Darrell Arthur. This, the second installation, will feature the following randomly selected player…

Gethro Muscadin

This feature will be melancholy. Gethro passed away in 2022 following a 2021 car accident. He was taken to a hospital after the accident where he spent months being kept alive while apparently being unresponsive. Muscadin played in only 1 season as a Kansas Jayhawk.

2021 season

Gethro Muscadin was a 3/4 star recruit originally from Haiti who had spent time at Aspire Academy in Kentucky. He was 6’10 with a good athletic build and length. He came to the program for the 2020-21 season, expecting to be a longer-term project who could help the team with interior scoring, rebounding, and rim protection.

On the depth chart, Muscadin was behind David McCormack, Silvio De Sousa, and Mitch Lightfoot. Shortly before the beginning of the season, De Sousa left the team due to his off-court criminal charges. With only 2 true interior players remaining, there was some thought that Muscadin could get some playing time. This didn’t happen, as Kansas would end up playing a four guard/wing lineup around a single interior player (McCormack or Lightfoot).

Muscadin only scored 2 points during his 12 brief appearances wearing the Kansas Jayhawk jersey, which totaled 33 minutes. This lone basket was a dunk, and came late in the second half against Nebraska Omaha. It can be seen around the 15:25 mark of the following video:

In fact, the only shots, either on the floor or at the free throw line, that he took at Kansas were in this game. He played in 8 minutes and also had 4 rebounds. Muscadin did appear in both NCAA Tournament games, subbing in briefly during KU’s Round of 64 win against Eastern Washington and also grabbing a rebound in the late stages of KU’s Round of 32 blowout loss to USC.

Gethro’s advanced stats don’t add much given his limited playing time. Rebounding appeared to be his best attribute, particularly given his size and athleticism.

The next detail to consider is Muscadin’s value stats, which again are limited due to his scant court time.

Muscadin gave up value due to a limited offensive skill set, but his defense was quite acceptable. In total, a -0.49 points per game value score doesn’t look too bad. However, this is skewed due to limited minutes. If we take a per possession look, he was last among scholarship players that season at -9.68 points per 100 possessions. His WAR was -0.11, again constrained due to his limited number of minutes.

Post-Kansas career

Following the season, Muscadin transferred to New Mexico to play for the Lobos for 2021-22. He would play in 12 games, starting in 9, and score a career high of 18 against both Florida Atlantic and Montana St. His official and advanced stats from College Basketball Reference show improvements as he was able to find his way off the bench and onto the floor for a Mountain West Conference team in non-conference play against the 115^th best non-con schedule. It was here where he best showed his basketball potential.

Gethro transferred from Kansas during an era where this has become far more prevalent. It wasn’t out of spite or bitterness. In fact, he never lost his love of the Jayhawks or affiliation with the program. Hours before his fateful car crash on I335 south of Topeka, he was watching his former teammates defeat Nevada at Allen Fieldhouse.

This tragic loss of life can best be addressed by the sentiments of Bill Self, which this blog shares. We will leave with coach’s words from a November 1, 2022 tweet.

Gethro Muscadin passed away late last night. He had been unresponsive since the car accident last December. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gethro’s loved ones. So young. So sad. He will always be a teammate of ours. RIP.

Top Major Performers

There are 13 golfers who have won at least 6 career majors. The following tables compare and contrast these 13.

The top table looks at major victories; the bottom table looks at major Top 10’s. Each table is sorted by total victories/Top 10’s. Additionally, the highest finisher in each category (column) is highlighted. Jack Nicklaus leads in this category, as he has not only the most majors won but also the most of 3 of the 4 majors. This is likewise true for Top 10’s by major.

In addition to looking at total performances, winning and Top 10 percentages are included. This is because, specifically for prior eras, players had fewer opportunities to compete in all the majors. The Masters wasn’t formed until after Walter Hagen’s prime for instance. And Ben Hogan only played in the British Open once (winning).

In order to keep the percentages meaningful, only the events played before a player turned 50 count in the divisor. We want to ensure that percentages aren’t punishing a player who plays in majors as a legacy winner (The Masters and PGA allow lifetime exemptions for all past winners, the British allows winners to play until they turn 60). This means that each major a player plays at 50 or older can only help him. He can add to his numerator should he get a Top 10, or even win as was the case for then 50-year-old Phil Mickelson at the 2021 PGA.

When we look at the percentages, it better shows just how good Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan were in their primes, and how much better their major totals may have been had they played 4 majors a year like the modern crop of players do.
