  • 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.

I am truly blessed to be able to lead this special group into the future,” McMillan said. “I believe what we accomplished this season is just the beginning of what we can achieve if we stay connected and committed to each other.” Named Atlanta’s interim head coach on March 1, 2021, McMillan, 56, led the Hawks to a 27-11 (.711) record over the remainder of the regular season, winning his first eight contests.

  • Mike Krzyzewski with Jamei K
    The Gold Standard Building a World-Class Team Mike Krzyzewski With Jamei K. Spatola Notes by Bob Richey Chapter 1 – Time To Choose Your People • When deciding which individuals to select to form a team, you have to ask the hard questions: o Who Are we playing against? Will we bring together to face that competition? Do we represent? o What Are our particular challenges? Was missing in our recent loses? Is our motivation? o When Are we playing? Do we assemble to grow together as a unit? o Where Are we playing? Is our venue and what particular challenges does it present? o Why Was the old system not working? Do we care? o How Do we change a culture? Do we prepare to meet our challenge? Much time to we have to prepare? • Guys who play together can beat a group of all-stars on any given night. Team over talent. Collective identity over individual ego. We borrowed from international teams like Argentina and Spain the need for familiarity with one another and for continuity. • Jerry and I both believed that it was our current system that was flawed, not the players. This system was no longer conducive to winning. • For one thing, there is no substitute for talent. And while a great attitude and a solid game plan will take you far, you cannot achieve at the highest level without having some aptitude. • I also believe that a team needs some people with experience-veterans. • Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that your group doesn’t need a youthful element.
