Ken Pomeroy is the father of basketball analytics.

His rankings for all 364 Division I men’s hoops teams have become a bible for college coaches and athletic directors.

The rankings are so detailed, that each team is evaluated not from game to game, but essentially possession by possession.

The theory I want to get out there is more of a cautionary tale.

The list of truly impactful offensive players gets shorter each year each year.

Offensive innovation in the game is at an all-time low.

KenPom can’t tell you when that’s going to happen.

The game will eventually change, it always has.
