Has anyone actually tried to calculate Schaller's TPR stat?

Post by nbacouchside »

He posts the general formula on his site, but when I tried to follow his steps, it didn't seem to come out. I was interested because he has been pretty good in the Prediction Threads the last few years, along with Hollinger (who I would guess won't be participating this year, as a result of his new job). Maybe he's designed it to be sort of a black box so that it's not easily replicated or maybe I'm just missing something.

Thanks for checking into this. He lists an email and phone # on those links. If you are really interested, maybe give it a try and contact him directly. I don't recall if he has ever conversed here.

Well, I was curious if anyone else had tried it because there's a good chance I'm missing something relatively obvious and I'd hate to bother him if I'm just totally off base.
