better.

Pre Pope, BYU coaches paid little attention to advanced stats. Rose panned them and rather said his decisions were based on "feel."

Superior intuition won until science became more widely adopted about a dozen years ago. Randy Bennett clobbered BYU with superior analytics and equally limited if not lesser athletes.

Brad Stevens understood analytics years before most coaches knew what was going on and won with less athletes at Butler.

My view is that after a minimum level of athleticism, there are diminishing returns. Lower IQ athletes don't get drafted.
