As a long-time reader of Bill James and the "Baseball Prospectus" staff, I had my doubts as to whether a similar statistical approach would work when applied to basketball.

Potomac Books, 1998 Outstanding book The one reviewer made the comment that any such book should use "real" stats, instead of adjusted. That defies all principles of statistical analysis! Such an approach would render the book useless, and the reviewer's comments should be struck from this collection of reviews because that reviewer is obviously unqualified. I found the book incredibly useful, because the author made every ...             Baseball Prospectus 2005: Statistics, Analysis, and Insight for the Information Age18 reviews Baseball Prospectus Team of Experts Workman Publishing Company, 2005 The Future Of Baseball This refrence book is part of what's known as the sabrmetrics, or statistical analysis, movement in baseball today, particularily the pro game.
