  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

  • Mccormick, Dietz Bringing Inaugural Elite 25 Camp to UD-Mercy
    McCormick, Dietz bringing inaugural Elite 25 camp to UD-Mercy Published: Sunday, August 11, 2013 By Scott M. Burnstein DETROIT — The inaugural Michigan Elite 25 program, an expansive series of prestigious high school basketball and life-skills training camps and clinics, will tip-off Tuesday with the Michigan Elite 25 Coaches Academy at the University of Detroit-Mercy’s Calihan Hall. Free of charge and open to the general public, the academy will run from 6 to 10 p.m. and feature talks from both Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo and Michigan head coach John Beilein, as well as other Division I men’s college coaches from within the state, such as U-D Mercy’s Ray McCallum Sr., Oakland University’s Greg Kampe, Central Michigan’s Keno Davis and Western Michigan’s Steve Hawkins. Tuesday’s slate of events is a precursor to the first-annual Michigan Elite 25 Showcase Camp on Aug. 17 and 18 at Detroit Cass Tech, where the top 25 players from each class in the state (grades 9-12) have been invited to participate. Parents are encouraged to attend the coaching academy Tuesday night, as some of the topics set to be addressed relate directly to player-parent relationships. Unfortunately, players themselves will not be allowed to attend, due to NCAA recruiting restrictions. The Michigan Elite 25, which will consist of three separate two-day camp sessions and one coaching academy each year, was created by childhood friends and Oakland County residents Tim McCormick and Mike Dietz. McCormick was a terror in the post as high school and college player, prepping at Clarkston and then starring in the Big 10 at Michigan.
