Basketball on Paper
Basketball on Paper: Rules and Tools for Performance Analysis | Dean Oliver
1 post | 2 to read
Basketball on Paper doesn't just stop with player evaluation: Dean Oliver occasionally applies business models to teamwork debates, and discusses strategy and variables of the game. How should an underdog change its strategy from when it is favored? How many wins or losses does a coach contribute? When is a good time to take a timeout? How much can a neutral but error-prone referee affect a team's chances of winning? Do teams rebound three-point shots more than two-point shots? Should Kentucky have pressed so much under Rick Pitino? What are the four statistical factors that a basketball team should control in order to win?

Is there a #marchmadness challenge going on this year? Anyone know of one?

sprainedbrain If you hear of any, will you tag me? I am a little bummed that Readers Room isn‘t having on this year... I always enjoyed failing miserably. 😂 @BookwormM @JenP 6y
Sweettartlaura @sprainedbrain that‘s the one - Readers Room! Awww, too bad for 2019. I just got to dabble in it last year - was hoping to really make a run at it this time 😕 6y
BookwormM @Sweettartlaura @sprainedbrain unfortunately @JenP is really busy in real life and hasn‘t had time for the blog and me being English I have no idea how March Madness actually works 🤣🤣 6y

Sweettartlaura @BookwormM Ah, too bad - maybe next year 🤷🏻‍♀️. And I barely understand how March Madness works, too 🤣. I just liked having to read certain books by a certain time, trying to get the most points. I wasn‘t able to really follow through last year because I already had several challenges going on. This year is a little lighter, so I was curious to see what was on deck for it. 6y
JenP Yes! Give me a few hours and i will post it. Life has been crazy 6y
sprainedbrain @JenP I got the email earlier and I‘m so excited to lose miserably again. 😃 Also, I‘ve missed you around here! 6y
Sweettartlaura @JenP Whoo hoo🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. I‘ll think up a suggested book or two tonight 😊 6y
