So what is the rate of double steals per game for OOTP vs Real life in 1960?
I provided an estimate of that in a previous post. After collecting some additional data, I think that estimate still stands.

If per game doesn't work for you choose whatever rate units you want.
The whole point of this thread is that the rate of double steals can't be adjusted in OOTP (unless you know something I don't )

Right now all we have is anecdotal evidence
Not sure what to say to that. I am reporting what I found from studying this on a game-by-game basis. That is the only way, since there are no stats IRL or in OOTP. I understand that since there are no stats on this, much of the OOTP world has no interest, but these threads on authentic gameplay are aimed at those OOTP players who do take an interest in what happens in individual games.

So, there is too much double stealing in OOTP for a 1960 league. Might be too much double stealing in OOTP period (but don't know yet). Apparently can't do anything about it anyway (but still trying different tactics). Am still curious about why it was so rare IRL in 1960. So that's what I'm putting on the table for anyone who has some thoughts about it.
