I have neither the time nor the desire, but if you go back to, say the first week of December and count the number of dribbles per possession and compare it to the number of dribbles per possession in January, I suspect you'll see a tremendous difference.

New Mexico today, non-stop bouncing the ball in the halfcourt. The Marvelous One's teams, even worse. It's why I think Hardy isn't a PG, he needs to put it on the floor.

I do think there is a real correlation in offensive effectiveness when you count the dribbles per half court possession. I mean, it's kind of implied. "Ball movement" doesn't include vertical bounces, it means passing. I don't think we are a strong ball handling team, but if you don't dribble it as much, you don't need to be super tight....
