Details

Since 1991, David Arseneault, men's basketball coach of Grinnell College, has developed a unique, fast-paced style of basketball that he calls "the system." This dataset comes from the 147 games the Grinnell team played within its athletics conference between the 1997-98 season through the 2005-06 season.
