Advanced stats have gone too far now. On Friday’s game between Purdue and Texas Tech, TBS’s graphics had a counter for the number of hair adjustments for Purdue’s Matt Haarms. He was at three which, to be quite honest, isn’t all that many considering that you’re required to bump into defenders all the time during a game. A quick post move or a crossover attempt could definitely mess that hair up.

wow advanced stats are great
That all depends on the type of product Haarms uses. If we’re talking about just gel, then there’s a greater chance for scruffiness. Maybe Haarms is using a pomade and that’s why he has so few hair adjustments. Even counting for product, three hair adjustments is impressive. Personally, I can go through at least five adjustments even while sitting down not doing much.
Or maybe these new-fangled advanced stats haven’t gotten far enough? Just like assist-to-turnover ratio, we need a points-to-hair ratio. Better yet if tracking hair adjustments is the new trend, we need to account for shoe tying and shorts adjusting. And if we’re betting on these, I have the over. I’ll always have the over. I think we all underestimate how much we fidget when we’re locked in on something like a basketball game or writing something on the internet. Thank you for reading this very important blog post.
