I assume, as with everything, there would be a bell curve, with some being far too "lucky" and some far too "unlucky" and the majority around the fat middle. If the results are all at one end, that would suggest you have the wrong "normal", given the style of play...

Hartley's 14/15 team had a lot go it's way, there's little doubt.
This season felt a bit like the antitheses to that. I'm certainly not calling the whole thing luck, but it's not just systems too. Bad bounces, odd calls, and the one that really sticks out to me is leading the league in missing the net.
Missed shots now up to 1207, when the next closest team is 1120 is just odd as hell. Missing the net could be execution too, don't get me wrong, but it's certainly not structure.
Before the torches get lit, I'm not suggesting they retain Gulutzan, but I'd want the GM to look at some of the unlikeliness of some of the stats to repeat if everything was left as is as part of the analysis.
Too many players on this team are below their position's average in shooting percentage. Is that all on coaching?
I just wouldn't discount anything.
