    New Coach + Quick Learners = Fast Start First-Year Coach Luke Flockerzi Introduces a New Offensive System As Men’S Basketball Gets Off to a Quick Start

    sPoRts mEn’s BaskEtBall New Coach + Quick Learners = Fast Start First-year coach luke Flockerzi introduces a new offensive system as men’s basketball gets off to a quick start. By Dennis O'Donnell Where’s the center? And the power forwards, for that matter? As the Roches- ter men’s basketball team takes to the court this winter, Yellowjacket fans used to see- ing players in traditional positions will need to acquaint themselves with a new way of thinking about how to organize five athletes and a basketball. Gone is the standard system geared to- ward a point guard, off guard, small for- ward, power forward, and center. Instead, the Yellowjackets feature four perimeter positions and a low-post threat, known as the “hub.” Let first-year coach Luke Flockerzi draw it up: Most times on offense, Rochester will set four players high on the perimeter and one—the hub—low, closer to the basket. The players will analyze what the defense shows, then run the best offense to counter- act it. It’s not one-on-one basketball. It’s a mixture of seeing, thinking, and reacting— an approach that Flockerzi believes gives his players the freedom to make decisions and play basketball. “Anyone can bring the ball up the court,” Flockerzi says. “The point guard doesn’t have to initiate the offense because posi- tions are interchangeable.” Flockerzi debuted the system this win- ter as he took over the head coaching du- ties for the Yellowjackets. The former head coach at Skidmore College, Flockerzi suc- ceeds Mike Neer '88W (MS), who stepped down last spring after leading the Yellow- jackets for 34 seasons and establishing the program as one of the winningest in NCAA Division III.

    On Estimating the Ability of NBA Players Arxiv:1008.0705V1 [Stat.AP]

    On Estimating the Ability of NBA Players Paul Fearnhead and Benjamin M. Taylor May 31, 2018 Abstract This paper introduces a new model and methodology for estimating the ability of NBA players. The main idea is to directly measure how good a player is by comparing how their team performs when they are on the court as opposed to when they are off it. This is achieved in a such a way as to control for the changing abilities of the other players on court at different times during a match. The new method uses multiple seasons' data in a structured way to estimate player ability in an isolated season, measuring separately defensive and offensive merit as well as combining these to give an overall rating. The use of game statistics in predicting player ability will be considered. Results using data from the 2008/9 season suggest that LeBron James, who won the NBA MVP award, was the best overall player. The best defensive player was Lamar Odom and the best rookie was Russell Westbrook, neither of whom won an NBA award that season. The results further indicate that whilst the frequently{reported game statistics provide some information on offensive ability, they do not perform well in the prediction of defensive ability.
