I understand your point, but i don't see how you can say "WP48 is not an advanced statistic" and then cite raw +/- as evidence of something. Raw +/- is nearly meaningless (except in the context of analyzing the flow of a single game) because there are so many covariates (mainly, who else is on the floor). Adjusted +/- is better, but there haven't been enough games this year to reasonably calculate it.

I also don't like the argument of "George Karl won a lot of games, therefore he's a good coach". He also had a lot of great players.
