  • Atlanta Hawks Name Nick Van Exel Assistant Coach
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 8/25/21 CONTACT: Hawks Communications (404) 878-3800 ATLANTA HAWKS NAME NICK VAN EXEL ASSISTANT COACH ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks today named NBA veteran player and coach Nick Van Exel as an assistant coach. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed. He was previously a player development instructor for the Hawks from 2010-12. “Since his playing career ended, Nick has been very successful in helping develop young guards for the teams he’s worked with, including several that have turned into All-Stars,” said Hawks Head Coach Nate McMillan. “We feel he’ll be a great addition helping our young core guards continue to progress.” Van Exel returns to Atlanta from the Dallas Mavericks, where he was a scout the last two seasons. The former head coach of the Texas Legends of the NBA G League (2015-16), Van Exel also has coaching experience with the Memphis Grizzlies (2016-19), Milwaukee Bucks (2013-14) and Texas Southern University (2009-10). The 1998 NBA All-Star played 13 years in the league (1993-2006) with the LA Lakers, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers and San Antonio Spurs. In 880 career regular season games (670 starts), he averaged 14.4 points, 6.6 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 32.9 minutes (.405 FG%, .357 3FG%, .794 FT%). He also saw action in 76 playoff games (27 starting assignments), averaging 13.6 points, 4.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 31.4 minutes. The native of Kenosha, WI started his collegiate career at Trinity Valley Community College (Athens, TX) before spending his final two seasons at University of Cincinnati, where he was named Associated Press Third-Team All-American as a senior.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, September 8, 2010 CONTACT: Arthur Triche, Jon Steinberg or Jason Roose, Hawks Media Relations (404) 878-3800 HAWKS NAME NICK VAN EXEL TO POSITION OF PLAYER DEVELOPMENT INSTRUCTOR ATLANTA, GA ----- Hawks head coach Larry Drew has finalized his 2010-11 coaching staff with the hiring of former pro Nick Van Exel to the position of Player Development Instructor, it was announced this afternoon. Van Exel, comes to Atlanta from Texas Southern University, where he served as an assistant coach. “We’re very excited to add Nick to the staff,” said Drew. “I think he brings a wealth of knowledge to the position, and given his past experiences, he’ll be really vital to the development of our young guards, particularly Jeff Teague and Jordan Crawford. With the staff we currently have on board, I believe Nick will do a tremendous job for us moving forward.” A second round draft pick of the Los Angeles Lakers in 1993, Van Exel brings 13 seasons of NBA experience to the Hawks staff in addition to 76 playoff games and one All-Star Game appearance (1998), having tallied career averages of 14.4 points and 6.6 assists (.405 FG%, .794 FT%). During his career with the Lakers, “Nick the Quick” was known as a flashy player who had the ability to deliver points in bunches and hitting game-winning shots. In five years in LA, he finished with 14.9 points per game and 7.3 assists, finishing in the top ten in the league in that category on two occasions.

  • Adjusting for Scorekeeper Bias in NBA Box Scores
    Adjusting for Scorekeeper Bias in NBA Box Scores Matthew van Bommel Luke Bornn Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, Simon Fraser University Abstract Box score statistics in the National Basketball Association are used to measure and evaluate player performance. Some of these statistics are subjective in nature and since box score statistics are recorded by scorekeepers hired by the home team for each game, there exists potential for inconsistency and bias. These inconsistencies can have far reaching consequences, particularly with the rise in popularity of daily fantasy sports. Using box score data, we estimate models able to quantify both the bias and the generosity of each scorekeeper for two of the most subjective statistics: assists and blocks. We then use optical player tracking data for the 2015-2016 season to improve the assist model by including other contextual spatio-temporal variables such as time of possession, player locations, and distance traveled. From this model, we present results measuring the impact of the scorekeeper and of the other contextual variables on the probability of a pass being recorded as an assist. Results for adjusting season assist totals to remove scorekeeper influence are also presented. Keywords: Basketball, Optical tracking, Scorekeeper bias, Fantasy sports, Adjusted box score 1 Introduction Box score statistics are the baseline measures of performance in the National Basketball Association (NBA). These metrics, either in their raw form or as components of advanced metrics such as player efficiency rating (PER) (Hollinger, 2004) or win shares (WS) (Basketball Reference, 2015), are used by both fans and team officials to help measure and understand player performance.
