How many of those 40%+ 3pt. teams, for example, lost/kept their top three shooters? My gut tells me personnel changes have as much (or more) to do with shooting percentage changes than do the normative powers of statistical means.

However, if you’ll indulge me in some nitpicking of my own, I’d like to add small point:

As you noted, Marquette was one of those 5 teams that had an improved their 3 point shooting percentage in the year following a 40%+ year. Correlation is not causation, but the coach of that rare team…Indiana’s Tom Crean.
