You might check the explanation of SRS from basketball-reference, which uses a system designed for pro football.

Just telling you what the reporter said. I agree to an extent on the smaller sample and highly doubt all of the work was based on a 5 game sample. College, however, with its shorter season high turnover of players ,and less overall talent is necessarily dependent on short samples.

I was watching the Kansas Baylor game tonight and they did a short in game segment on a grad student at Baylor who had worked with the coaching staff to do some lineup work for this matchup. His name is Ryan Resch and is a poli sci grad student. The report said that he used the five previous Baylor ...

WC3, is the basketball portion of your site down now or permanently?

Thanks, Mike. You were correct I had remnants of full season estimates of FTA left in the data which messed up those years. I adjusted it. The slope is effectively 0 with the changes.

Thanks for this Crow!

It blew my mind that we are on pace for more 3pt attempts than Free Throw attempts for the first time in history. A sign of the times to be sure. Gotta believe the league loves it.

Yes, I used basketball reference. Does anything appear noticeably wrong?

Do we know which teams dictate the pace? I asked myself this exact question a few weeks ago. Without the technical knowledge to walk through play by play data to track team's pace entering games and finding the resulting pace I logged around 2 weeks worth of games from December this season and trie...

I only used 11 season's worth of data, but when comparing team offensive rebounds/game to win total it had a negative correlation. This surprised me considering it was one of the four factors.

I updated this to include last season's data. Decided I wanted to take a different look at it and figured adding to this thread would be better than starting a new one. As a quick refresher I used the shooting data from BBR and built a metric based on % of shots from different zones on the floor and...

My Thunder fandom might be showing, but I feel like Philadelphia might be the ideal spot for Scott Brooks to land. He did a mostly great job developing talent in his tenure at OKC. Some might say he only achieved good things with exceptional talents, but I think its an unfair criticism. His "fa...

Google Doc with 2.5 year aggregate.

This really murders deandre jordan for his ft shooting. If he could shoot league average he would go from ranked 180 to 13th. That feels pretty extreme. Like ft shooting shouldn't have that much affect. It doesn't kill his TS% that badly.

I would be happy to share the whole list. I just didn't know of a good way to display the information. I graphed the results vs things such as TS% PER and OBPM. Some interesting looking shapes but nothing very revealing. I'm at work and don't have access to image sharing sites or google drive so i c...

The post about a simple formula for floor spacing got me thinking about different ways to approach the idea. My first thought was looking at the variance across the shooting zones provided on basketball reference. (0-3ft, 3-10ft, 10-16, 16 - <3pt, 3pt) My thought process fell apart but turned into l...
