I'm not sure what you're saying here. my point is that performance analysis in all sports has improved lately. this argument isn't just about "clutch" it's about the ability to analyze information, come to conclusions, and improve your team.
another example, so we can get off of "clutch".
the Pats consistently go on 4th down more than any other team. this isn't by accident or b/c they have been a particularly awesome running team - it's b/c studies were done to support the idea that value could be gained by "gambling" more on 4th down, and the Pats listened.
Of course statistical analysis has improved. We didn't have personal computers or the internet 20 years ago. My point to you was smart personnel people still win all the time. Crappy teams have access to the same statistical methods, but they don't interpret them correctly or do the million little things smart organizations do.
As I said, unless you have a PHD in research methods, I don't think you're teaching me about analyzing information and coming to conclusions.
I'm pretty sure football people have been on top of this for years. You can record data and describe, evaluate or interpret it with a pencil and paper.
What is new here? Nothing.
