    DETERMINING THE TOP ALL-TIME COLLEGE COACHES THROUGH MARKOV CHAIN-BASED RANK AGGREGATION MELISSA JAY, VENKATASAI GANESH KARAPAKULA, AND EMMA KRAKOFF Abstract. We develop a mathematical model that determines the \best all-time college coach(es)" of the past century in a given sport. We propose ranking college coaches through Markov chain- based aggregation of ranked lists using holistic criteria. Our model synthesizes four full or partial ranked lists based on win percentages, victories, career durations, and effort levels to produce the final comprehensive rankings. As a demonstration, we determine that Ron Mason, Augie Garrido, and Gus Donoghue are the top all-time college coaches of the past century in NCAA Division I men's ice hockey, baseball, and men's soccer, respectively. Our general model is applicable not only across all possible sports but also to both male and female coaches. Additionally, it accounts for differences among coaches in their coaching time-periods.

  • Boston Sports Icons
    Boston Sports Icons FREE Sports Icons Series Sports Comic Book Copyright 2015 | 2nd Edition 2016 By Jim Sweeney Over 200 years ago, Boston boasted its place as the cradle of American liberty. But today, the city is celebrated as an American sports capitol. To many sports fans – especially those in New England - Boston is considered the greatest sports town in the United States. It has earned the enviable moniker by emerging as a sports mecca that produces Hall of Fame athletes and championship professional teams. Once renowned for the revolutionary site of the Boston Tea Party and the courageous midnight ride of Paul Revere, Boston’s current popularity is rivaled by its retinue of noteworthy athletic accomplishments. Boston sports fans proudly rave about their title winning home town teams the Celtics, the Bruins, the Red Sox and the Patriots. Also rich in academia, this vibrant New England city lays claim to some of the most prestigious halls of higher learning. These schools have fathered Heads of State, Nobel Laureates and Captains of Industry. Despite its historic, academic, political and business laurels, today’s Boston may still be better loved for its sports-centric culture. The Hub City cherishes not only historic Faneuil Hall and the legendary Old North Church. With a regional pride that runs deep in athletics, it also venerates the hallowed sports venues of Fenway Park and the old Boston Garden. To honor its rich sports heritage, I’ve penned this FREE sports comic book to acknowledge my top Boston Sports Icons. The FREE book recognizes Boston’s most famous jocks as well as its most revered sports landmarks.
