does being an olympian make you foul more girls?
It was widely believed that the physical play style allowed by referees during the Olympics might lead to an increase in fouls called on players once they returned to the WNBA. However, the data on personal fouls per minute before and after the Olympic break reveals no clear pattern. Despite my expectations, the changes in fouls are minor and fairly evenly distributed between increases and decreases. While the analysis didn’t yield dramatic results, it suggests that the Olympics didn’t significantly impact fouling behavior—though further exploration could be interesting! #basketballstats
