Score casting

I am currently reading the book score casting. Score casting is trying to determine whether conservative sports stories are better than outlandish ones. There is one character named James williams, he is the head football coach at a small private high school in Arkansas. Instead of regular football strategies like punting on fourth down and kicking field goals inside the opponents 30 yard line, this football coach goes for it all. Williams rarely punts except for when he is ahead by significant margins, and he doesn't have a field goal kicker on his roster. This strategy may be completely outrageous but it is successful, Williams has won several state championships he had only lost 12 games in 5 years. Williams has been extremely successful, some of these strategies have not been so successful. There was a basketball coach who was very successful in college, and got an NBA job with the Denver Nuggets. He told his players to shoot every 7 seconds and pressure the ball all the way up the court his team averaged 120 points per game but they gave up 130, they where nicknamed the Enver Nuggets. The coach of the Enver Nuggets was fired a year later after a pair of 20 win seasons.
