Üks lõik: Bottom line: An NBA coach is much better off leaving a star player with five fouls in a game. By our numbers, coaches are routinely giving up about 0.5 points per game by sitting a star player in foul trouble (and that doesn't include the minutes he might have sat on the bench with three fouls in the first half). That may not seem like much, but in a close game, in which these situations often occur, it could mean the difference between winning and losing. We estimate that leaving a player in with five fouls instead of benching him improves the chances of winning by about 12 percent. Over the course of a season, this can mean an extra couple of wins. Yes, a player may foul out of a game, but benching the player ensures that he's out of the game. As Jeff Van Gundy, former coach of the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks and current television announcer, once put it on the air, "I think coaches sometimes foul their players out."
