    Journal of Complex Networks (2021) 00, 1–25 doi: 10.1093/comnet/cnab012 Who is the best coach of all time? A network-based assessment of the career performance of professional sports coaches Sirag¸ Erkol and Filippo Radicchi† Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/comnet/article/9/1/cnab012/6251550 by guest on 25 April 2021 Department of Informatics, Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research, Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA †Corresponding author. Email: fi[email protected] Edited by: JoseM´ endez´ [Received on 18 December 2020; editorial decision on 10 March 2021; accepted on 22 March 2021] We consider two large datasets consisting of all games played among top-tier European soccer clubs in the last 60 years, and among professional American basketball teams in the past 70 years. We leverage game data to build networks of pairwise interactions between the head coaches of the teams and measure their career performance in terms of PageRank centrality. We identify Arsene` Wenger, Sir Alex Ferguson, Jupp Heynckes, Carlo Ancelotti and Jose´ Mourinho as the top 5 European soccer coaches of all time. In American basketball, the first 5 positions of the all-time ranking are occupied by Red Auerbach, Gregg Popovich, Phil Jackson, Don Nelson and Lenny Wilkens. We further establish rankings by decade and season. We develop a simple methodology to monitor performance throughout a coach’s career, and to dynamically compare the performance of two or more coaches at a given time. The manuscript is accompanied by the website coachscore.luddy.indiana.edu where complete results of our analysis are accessible to the interested readers.

  • Wartime Basketball: the Emergence of A
    Wartime Basketball: The Emergence of a National Sport During World War II Stark, Douglas ARETE By Susan J. Rayl Media Mention Rec’d September 6, 2016 Wartime Basketball: The Emergence of a National Sport During World War II. By Douglas Stark. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2016. 384 pages. Hardbound. $34.95 (ISBN-13: 978-0-8032-4528-0). Reviewed by Susan J. Rayl, State University of New York at Cortland Douglas Stark writes about the sport he loves, basketball, in his second book, Wartime Basketball: The Emergence of a National Sport During World War II. Focusing on professional basketball between 1941 and 1946, Stark provides ample historical background and context for the players, teams and leagues discussed within his narrative. Comprised of an introduction, five chapters, and an epilogue, he incorporates both primary and secondary sources to tell the story. Numerous interviews from books, newspaper articles, and the author himself enhances the text and creates a sense of “being there” for readers. In “Introduction: A New Game” Stark presents a thorough history of the birth of basketball, its creator, Dr. James Naismith, and the influence of Luther Gulick, followed by a short history of the professionalization of the game. Chapter 1 - “America Goes to War: 1941-1942” begins with Ralph Kaplowitz of New York University being drafted into the Army Air Corp in August 1941, thereby ending his college basketball career. Kaplowitz played basketball for Chanute Field Team in Illinois for a time before spending five years traveling the country for training then flying 13 missions as a fighter pilot in the Pacific Theatre.

  • The Rochester Royals' Maurice Stokes
    ROCHESTER HISTORY The Rochester Royals’ Maurice Stokes: Kodak City’s (and the NBA’s) First Black Basketball Star By Pat Farabaugh Vol. 76 Spring 2014 No. 1 A Publication of the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County The Twyman-Stokes award recognizes the NBA player deemed “the best teammate based on selfless play, on and off-court leadership as a mentor and role model to other NBA players, and commitment and dedication to his team.” The award was created and named in recognition of the inspiring friendship of former Rochester Royals teammates Maurice Stokes and Jack Twyman. From the National Basketball Association. Front Cover: During his playing career in Rochester, Stokes emerged as the first African-American star player in the National Basketball League. He also played during an era charged with lingering racial prejudice as American athletics slowly turned towards desegregation. Democrat & Chronicle File Photograph.

Kemp Verdis Robinson Rochester Museum & Science Center Monroe Community College Timothy Kneeland, PhD Nazareth College Dear Rochester History Reader, It seems especially appropriate that this issue of Rochester History focuses on Maurice Stokes, widely considered to be the first black basketball star in the world. A little more than a year ago, the Rochester Public Library celebrated another black sports hero, Jackie Robinson, with the traveling exhibit “Pride and Passion: the African American Baseball Experience.” That exhibit generated a significant amount of discussion about sports and black athletes in the community.

    Who is the best coach of all time? A network-based assessment of the career performance of professional sports coaches S¸irag Erkol1 and Filippo Radicchi1 1Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research, Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47408, USA We consider two large datasets consisting of all games played among top-tier European soccer clubs in the last 60 years, and among professional American basketball teams in the past 70 years. We leverage game data to build networks of pairwise interactions between the head coaches of the teams, and measure their ca- reer performance in terms of network centrality metrics. We identify Ars`eneWenger, Sir Alex Ferguson, Jupp Heynckes, Carlo Ancelotti, and Jos´eMourinho as the top 5 European soccer coaches of all time. In Amer- ican basketball, the first 5 positions of the all-time ranking are occupied by Red Auerbach, Gregg Popovich, Phil Jackson, Don Nelson, and Lenny Wilkens. We further establish rankings by decade and season. We de- velop a simple methodology to monitor performance throughout a coach’s career, and to dynamically com- pare the performance of two or more coaches at a given time.
