Lots of emails in my inbox and comments on the site this weekend about the number of fouls Princeton has committed this season. Are the Tigers really averaging more whistles per-game than they have in other years?

Bellow are relevant numbers for the past 12 seasons, including the current campaign. If there are any requests for deeper crunching of this data, just let me know.

Teams that lose most of their games (as we have the past four seasons) are forced to foul a lot toward the end of those games. Also, when you are smaller, weaker and slower than most opponents, you will end up fouling more.

I'm not sure it has much to do with coaching, if that's the question raised.

Jon et al,

Nice chart and stats. There's a lot to think about in them.

It is my impression..and that is all it is..is that we are one-half step too slow when trying to draw a charge (player control foul) and that half step results in a blocking call against our defender.

Could it be that the more 3-point attempts you take, the fewer times
you go inside, and you draw fewer fouls as a result ?
