737 NG high speed descent ATSB report

Nothing like a high speed descent to keep you on your toes or passengers tight against their seat belts. More haste less speed?

More haste less speed?
Does the data support that? From the report (ATSB – AO-2015-041), page 7
Related occurrences
Overspeed occurrences on descent
Between 2012 and 2015, 51 occurrence reports were submitted to the ATSB that involved an overspeed in a B737 aircraft on descent. Of these, two occurred during high-speed descents.
It looks like most of the occurrences are unrelated to the descent speed.

I would guess that most over speeds in the 737 happen when still on Mach.
