There's a lot of data that goes into these outcomes
remember it's probable that the big man are starting out atrocious and so it's almost assured they will pop first time out thus skewing the numbers, and of course age enters into it.

This is a very good point. Age is being controlled for, so I don't think it's that, but the fact that big men likely have lower skills (and therefore may be benefitting more from high initial sublevels, or from "elastic" type effects) is certainly possible. Of course, if that were the case, I'd expect the same to be true of OD, and there training clearly decreases with height.

I just re-ran the calculation of the coefficients and updated the analysis page to see if the recent data had gotten rid of some of this, but the passing trend is definitely still there (and maybe even more dramatic). As hard as it is for me to believe that's correct, it's at least possible that passing training is faster for tall guys. Passing is one of the most trained things, so we actually have quite a bit of data on it. (Not as much as OD, but more than just about everything else).

Big men is a much smaller sample
mostly you're hoping to move them from atrocious or pitiful to something acceptable
they won't be trained in that at an older age
on the other hand, you will be squeezing the last possible passing pops out of a guard that is reaching eiher his cap or an age place that makes pops more difficult thus taking an extended period to get one.

I trained "team training / free throw" last week ... one of my players got a pop at "Outside Defence" ... he's a 6'10, 20 years old ...

That suprised me a lot.

Hi guys!

Please can You tell me what does Cap estimate means and those numbers with it?
I'm new in this great app, and I would need Your help...

Thank You very much in advance!

i can't upload my training entries anymore. it says 'Training upload FAILED.' and something like, too many connections and not set to English (US). i know that i set my language to English (US), checked it many times. i tried it also on firefox, same pop up. what should i do? i really like the site you created and uses it a lot and its very helpful.

i am getting same error every time but when i checked history page of the site, i see that info has uploaded. should i trust this error warning or the history page?

In my experience it took 3 times as much training time to get a pop once the soft cap is reached. Discarding the 14 and 20 min you have got less than 9 weeks, and some of them at forward position. You have to ask yourself do you honestly expect him to pop with only 3 weeks of training? I bet you won't.
