For more information, please contact [email protected]. ©Copyright is owned by the University and/or the author of this document. A formula for victory: Trust, talent, work and fun “I’ve always been intrigued with winning and what it takes to win.” — Dennie Bridges As one of the winningest coaches in NCAA Division III history, Dennie Bridges knows a lot about victory. As a young coach, he was guided by the Vince Lombardi quote, “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” He framed the quote and put it up on the locker room wall. But it didn’t feel quite right, and he later took it down. Bridges also likes legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden’s quote, “Nobody can win without talent, but not everybody can win with talent.” “At his level he had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton and Bryan Crabtree ’97 and Buck Condill ’99 lift Bridges in Keith Wilkes. At my level I had Jack Sikma, Blaise Bugajski celebration after winning the and Bryan Crabtree,” Bridges wrote in his 2002 memoir A 1997 Division III championship tournament.

  • 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.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) a SAFETY ANALYSIS
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) A SAFETY ANALYSIS By Gary Selby The Safety: One of football’s rarest scoring plays. The Digest of Rules in the NFL’s Record and Fact Book describes a safety as: “Two points are scored for the opposing team when the ball is dead on or behind a team’s own goal line if the impetus came from a player on that team.” Emphasis on impetus. A fairly straightforward definition. Most fans know a safety when they see one, despite there being numerous types. But when they happen, its like an electric shock. The responses range from “What? So what’s the score now?” to “Better get another beer and some pretzels. This thing’s getting complicated.” But I wanted to look a little deeper. How many safeties have there been in the NFL? What are the types? What is their effect on a game? Can it be measured? I had never seen an analysis of the safety, so I decided to do one myself. My interest was sparked while reviewing files for the PFRA’s Linescore Project. In a 1965 Giants-Cardinals game I saw the following entry for an individual score: StL – Team Safety. Team Safety? Huh? Did the entire Cardinals defense tackle Tucker Fredrickson in his end zone? After a trip to the library revealed the answer, I kept thinking about how devastating a safety can be. You give up possession, give your opponent 2 points, and then you have to punt the ball from your own 20, giving your opponent good, if not excellent, field position.
