Actually gnome, assuming 294 teams and the reality that only three teams made it to both the 2015 and 2016 World Series implies a probability of 2.03%. Such outperformance is highly significant. The 60-game sample size bolsters the point. It would be interesting to note how many teams won 50-games during both of those years. Morris was beyond elite in both 2015 and 2016. He was better than 98% of Division 1 coaches. (By the way, you are lying about the asterisk).
On the basis of wins in 2017, Miami was only better than ~0.55 of the 294 Division 1 squads. This year, MOrris faltered badly. His team's improvement during the latter half of the season shows me that his "coaching system" is elite. 5 players batted well over 0.300 during the latter half, and we saw the team go from 12-16 to 19-11.... Recruiting failed, BUT 4 or 5 of those same players batted over 0.300 in 2016, and Hackett, BUrns and Davison on 'paper' looked stalwart. All 3 JUCOs improved markedly over the year. Will be interesting to see if Morris keeps them.
In my time, the Ivy League Association used the Index. You needed the equivalent of a 1,400 SAT score today and either a B+ average or your high school had to prove that you were in a given percentile in regard to grades. It was unfair because inner-city youth test poorly on the SAT.... They could accept you and provide a scholarship, but if you did not meet the index in high school, you could not play sports. Hence, the reliance on hockey, skiing, lacross players from NOrth Eastern boarding schools.....
I thought the gnome was a Gator but will admit when wrong. Not sure if people noticed the post, but one of his buddies 'outed' him in a thread and said he was Nole. PAthetic. It explains the virulence, though.
Barring 2017, Morris was better than 0.83 of coaches during his worst 6-year stretch; he was top-4 through the 2008 season; and was beyond elite in both 2015 and 2016. I am a fan and am looking forward to 2018. It will be a good year for us!
