    08 FIBAAMERICAS.COM SPECIAL ISSUE 08 Feature Prigioni, key in argentinean reaction Argentina missed guard Pablo Prigioni in the II Marchand Continental Championship Cup as he was negotiating a deal with real Madrid. After signing the deal, Prigioni reported to the Argentinean team for the FIBA Americas Championship but despite that they had two straight 2009 FIBA-Americas Championship September 2, 2009 losses, but many adjustments have given them three straight wins. The guard has averages of 11 points and 6.8 assists in five games, where they have won three. In the first win Prigioni led the Argentineans with 19 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. "We turned the situation because with two losses it looked that we were in bad shape and we wouldn't qualify. With these wins we have a foot in Turkey," said Prigioni who will be in Real Madrid for the next two ACB seasons with an option for a third year. In their wins Argentina had a better offensive performance by Paolo Quinteros, Federico Kammerichs, Andrés Pelussi, Leo Gutiérrez and Prigioni who have helped Luis Scola who ended as the MVP of the 2007 FIBA Americas Championship. "We are now playing as a team, it is shown in the results, the game, everything. This is not something new," said Prigioni. "It is very important this change in our game that gives us a guarantee in the games that follow," he added. About his expectations with a new team in the ACB, the player is happy for signing with Real Madrid which historically has been one of the main teams in Spain.

This work may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. APPROVAL Name: Xin Lucy Liu Degree: Master of Science Title of project: Bayesian Analysis of Dyadic Data Arising in Basketball Examining Committee: Dr. Richard Lockhart Chair Dr. Tim Swartz Senior Supervisor Simon Fraser University Dr. Paramjit Gill Co-Supervisor Simon Fraser University Dr. Tom Loughin External Examiner Date Approved: ii Abstract The goal of this project is to use statistical methods to identify players and combinations of players which affect a basketball team’s performance. The traditional statistics which are recorded tell us only about the contribution of individual players (eg. points scored, rebounds, etc). However, there are subtle aspects of play such as defensive help, setting screens and verbal communication that are known to be important but are not routinely recorded. The model we propose is based on the Bayesian social relations model. The results help us identify aspects of player performance. Data from the NBA 2004 and NBA 2005 finals are used throughout the project to illustrate our approach. Keywords: Bayesian social relations model, Dyadic data, WinBUGS iii Dedication In memory of my father, Zhong-Xuan Liu (1946-1994) iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank the people who have helped me go through this difficult, challenging yet exciting time of my life.

Alex García, que ayer anotó 21 puntos en la victoria de Brasil sobre República Dominicana, no pudo mantenerse en la NBA, víctima también de varias arrancada lesiones, pero recaló en Israel, con Macabbi Tel Aviv y obtuvo el subcampeonato de la Euroliga, en 2008, retomando el sendero del éxito cuando parecía que andaba de capa caída. Sin embargo, pese a sobresalir en el basket europeo con su velocidad y reciedumbre, Alex decidió regresar a su país y se integró al Universo BRB, uno de los mejores de la división de honor. En los pasados años, él ha podido emplearse como escolta y delantero pequeño, impulsado por su fortaleza física y su enorme brinco, en el concierto de FIBA, siendo actualmente un plus para el entrenador del Seleccionado, el español Moncho Monsalve.

  • Head Coach Mike Davis
    UAB BLAZERS BASKETBALL Head Coach Mike Davis Fifth Season At UAB | 11th Season As Head Coach | 21st Season Overall ike Davis is entering his fifth season at Mthe helm of the UAB men’s basketball program. Davis was hired as the program’s fourth head coach on April 7, 2006. Davis owns a record of 85-48 (.639) overall and 41-23 (.641) in Conference USA play during his four seasons in Birmingham. He is now 200- 127 (.612) during his 10-year coaching career. Over his last three seasons alone, Davis has led the Blazers to a record of 70-32 (.686) and three consecutive NIT berths. UAB has now appeared in either the NCAA tournament or NIT in seven of the past eight years. The 2009-10 season also marked the 24th postseason appearance in the 32-year history of UAB basketball (13 NCAA appearances). Davis etched his name in the record books as he became only the second coach in UAB lore to reach 70 wins in a three-year span. The only other coach in program history to accom- plish the feat was Hall of Famer Gene Bartow, who reached the pinnacle on two separate occasions (73 wins from 1983-86 and 71 wins from 1984-87). Davis has been even tougher on foes when playing at Bartow Arena. Over the last three seasons alone, he has guided the team to a 41-5 home record, including 24 straight non-conference regular season home wins (UAB has won 31 straight non-conference regular sea- son home games overall).

En 2001. Puerto Rico fue campeón en Toluca; en 2003 en Culiacán, y ahora en el 2008 en Cancún, estado de Quintana Roo. En este partido decisivo, no fue el armador José Juan Barea, escogido el Jugador Más Valioso, quien cargó al equipo, pero si los certeros tiros de tres, que terminaron por liquidar a Islas Vírgenes que por su parte ha dejado en claro su buen básquetbol, ya que por segundo Centrobasket consecutivo se quedaron con la medalla de plata. Los puertorriqueños encestaron 15 de 27 oportunidades lo que significó más de la mitad del total de sus puntos fueron justamente en esa clase de disparos; siendo el jugador más efectivo el alero Carmelo Antrone Lee haciendo efectivo 5 de 7 y el base-escolta Carlos Arroyo con 5 de 10. Además de este triunfo, Puerto Rico venció a Costa Rica, 85-68; a Cuba, con marcador de 103-90; a Panamá, campeón defensor que no pudo ganar medalla, con pizarrón de 107 a 102; y a República Dominicana, uno de los favoritos, 76 a 74.

  • Final Round Confidential Facts for the Boston Celtics
    CONFIDENTIAL FACTS FOR THE BOSTON CELTICS The Celtics have been considered a top-tier NBA team for nearly a decade. Because of the attention the team receives and fan expectations, ownership must continually put a winning product on the floor, which costs a substantial amount of money. Fans have been frustrated recently because some of the Celtics’ stars are getting older and becoming more injury prone. In fact, during the first half of the 2010-11 NBA season, the Celtics lost Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Rajon Rondo for significant periods of time due to injury. This caused some uneasiness in Boston and questions arose as to how the Celtics would be able to continue to win if their highest paid players were routinely missing games because of injury. The Celtics recently held a meeting with their entire scouting department and trusted advisors. The Celtics believe Rondo is one of the top five NBA point guards and he is only getting better. He has had some minor injury issues with his right ankle that has bothered him on and off again since his first year of college, but he has played in 90% of the Celtics’ games over the course of his young career. The scouting meeting also discussed possibilities that may be available in a trade involving Rondo. The New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs have held preliminary talks with Boston Celtics Director of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge, the Celtics’ General Manager, Assistant General Manager, and General Counsel. These talks have only been preliminary and the meeting resulted in a consensus that the Nuggets are the best option for the Celtics to trade Rondo.
