The bottom-line numbers will defy belief, and Coach K will quite rightly be hailed for his remarkable and, in many cases, unequalled quantitative excellence. Yet it’s possible […]

Because it has been nearly impossible to keep track of rosters this offseason, we’ve decided to share a cleaner version of my roster changes research. (The actual one has cross-outs and underlines and capitalized names; it’s unreasonable to think anyone besides me can read it.)
