Gregg Popovich – head coach, San Antonia Spurs "Avery Johnson has a unique blend of desire, basketball knowledge and compassion. While we will miss having him in the NBA family, I'm excited to see what he brings to the University of Alabama and the NCAA. I think it's a great hire." Don Nelson – former head coach, Dallas Mavericks "I always thought he was a natural coach. That’s why I brought him in to replace me. He’s [proved] that to be the case." Ben Jobe – Johnson’s college coach and current NBA scout for New York Knicks "I think he would do as much for Alabama as Alabama would do for him, probably more in terms of image. His knowledge of the game is off the charts. Avery has so many strong points. He's a good community man. He has a lot of passion for people and he's a giver, not a taker. He follows that Martin Luther King philosophy. I think he's anointed as a leader. He's the closest thing I've ever had in my life as an anointed leader. If I got sick or whatever, my practices ran better when he ran it." Bill Simmons – ESPN columnist, analyst, editor, author “Big congrats to Avery Johnson for his new gig. Loved getting to know him last year – total joy to be around. I’m on the Bama Hoops bandwagon.” Tim Brando – Fox Sports & Sirius XM sportscaster “Home Run Hire in Tuscaloosa. Avery Johnson’s a friend that I covered while he played at Southern. Without CBB experience, but connected.” Skip Bayless – ESPN analyst "I think that Avery is going to surprise, if not shock, some people with the job he does at Alabama, the football school. He has high charisma. He is a lightning rod and I think it will serve him well in recruiting young men. We know he has a high basketball IQ. He is very well suited to this." Chris Carter – Former NFL WR & current ESPN analyst “Congrats to Avery Johnson begin selected as Alabama’s next basketball coach. Great coach, and a better man. God bless you and your family” Seth Davis – Sports Illustrated & CBS Sports reporter “This has been a great few weeks for SEC hoops. Barnes, Howland, now Avery Johnson coming into the league. Way to step it up.” Mark Ingram – New Orleans Saints RB; Alabama alum “Alabama trying to make moves on the court! Roll Tide” Nick Perry – Alabama football student-athlete “Great hire. Avery Johnson won an NBA championship as a player and was NBA Coach of the Year. Who else to help these guys get back to winning!?” Avery Johnson Jr. “Congrats to my dad on becoming the new head coach at the University of Alabama” .

Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to signiﬁcant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we ﬁnd that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

STAYING AHEAD of the POSSE: the BEN JOBE Story As Told to and by JOE FORMICHELLA
M E D I A I N F O R M A T I O N STAYING AHEAD OF THE POSSE: The BEN JOBE Story as told to and by JOE FORMICHELLA Ben Jobe is not afraid of starting fires. For kindling he chooses words and deeply personal, historically significant stories. Staying Ahead of the Posse: The Ben Jobe Story is history in the flesh, the history of basketball and the Civil Rights Movement, of desegregation and economic exploitation, of HBCUs and the NCAA, of African independence and the modern-day plantation that is the American sports industry. Ben’s life—forty-some years of coaching, teaching, nurturing, and mentoring—intersected with and was influenced by all of those developments. And despite a self-described lifetime of “staying ahead of the posse,” he’s now ready to take a stand, tell his story, and in the process put a torch to what he considers a few myths, the myth of “integration,” the myth of a “benevolent” NCAA, among many others. Provocative and inspiring both on the fields of play and in the trenches of life, Ben’s approach is one which, if followed, could make winners of us all. This press kit contains: Author Biographies Portrait of Ben Jobe by artist Kevin D’Amico An exclusive interview with Ben Jobe, conducted by Joe Formichella A 5-page excerpt from Staying Ahead of the Posse River City Publishing contact information STAYING AHEAD OF THE POSSE: The Ben Jobe Story as told to and by Joe Formichella Available from River City Publishing Spring 2008 (late March) Genre: Memoir ISBN 10: 1-57966-082-7 ISBN 13: 978-1-57966-082-6 Format: Trade Cloth Trim Size: 6 x 9 Page Count: 225 (apx.)

The old Stephen F. Austin Hotel, where I stayed for the first five years at the tournament was remodeled and renamed. The cost became outrageous there, so we no longer enjoyed staying downtown. Today the Hotel is called InterContinental Stephen F. Austin. Visiting Sixth street became popular and I continued to eat at the Waterloo Ice House. The main attraction in those days was playing at Gregory Gym on the campus of U.T. We always had great pickup games at the student activity center, located right next to Gregory. Jogging was also another passion of mine. Town Lake provided great running trails just south of downtown Austin. Coaching clinics became the norm, as I continued to learn the game. Great times. The person who had the greatest impact on my life was my brother-in-law. This book is dedicated to him. At the age of 10, he began coming over to the house dating my older sister. He was like a family member. For the next twenty years he influenced all aspects of my life.

Brooklyn Nets Fire Head Coach Avery Johnson. Why?
Brooklyn Nets Fire Head Coach Avery Johnson. Why? Author : Robert D. Cobb BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Hello Brooklyn! In the case of the man known as "The Little General" the trademark Brooklyn Bridge is already in his proverbial rearview mirror. In a move that shocked many, The Brooklyn Nets fired head coach Avery Johnson after roughly two and a quarter seasons with the team early Thursday. The move came after the Nets would lose on Christmas Day to the Boston Celtics 93-76 and to the Milwaukee Bucks, 108-93. Assistant coach P.J. Carlesimo has been promoted to interim head coach in Johnson's place. The Nets began their inaugural season in Brooklyn on a high note as they started the season 11-4. However, things have taken a turn for the worse this month for the team as they are only 3-10 in December and have fallen far short of expectations since moving into the new Barclays Center this season. "The Nets ownership would like to express thanks to Avery for his efforts and to wish him every success in the future," principal owner Mikhail Prokhorov said on the firing. It is unknown which direction the Nets will go from here as far as the search for a new head coach goes, however the team may be able to turn the corner and gain some much-needed momentum going forward as a result of this abrupt decision. Early reports to replace Johnson are Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, Houston Rockets assistant head coach Kelvin Sampson and ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy.
