Personal Fouls and Turnovers Per Game

[Pablo]

This is a comparison of how the Patriots rank in these categories so far this season (for games through 11/22/15) compared to the end of last season (out of 351 D-1 teams):

Personal Fouls Per Game:
2014-15: 311th (20.6)
2015-16: 102nd (19.2)

Turnovers Per Game:
2014-15: 312th (14.4)
2015-16: 158th (13.0)

Does anyone think that coaching could be a factor in these improved statistics?

Maybe, but 5 games is a super small sample size. i think it's too early in the season for much quantitative analysis.

According to lamar butler, no

Point made. After Manhattan, turnovers per game is now 14.8

Hopefully, the 25 turnovers tonight (including about 6 offensive fouls) is an aberration.
