Mirza Delibašić (January 9, 1954 – December 8, 2001) was a Bosnian basketball player. He was a born in Tuzla, located in northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the former Yugoslavia.
Mirza Delibašić "Kindje" led his club KK Bosna Sarajevo to the Euroleague Championship in 1979. After leaving KK Bosna, Delibašić went to Spain where he along with Juan Corbalán, Wayne Brabender, Fernando Martín Espina, Dražen Petrović, and Arvydas Sabonis, is considered to be one of the best players ever to play for the "royal club" Real Madrid.
Mirza Delibašić, the sportsman of the 20th century in Bosnia and Herzegovina
En route to a place among the European greatest players, Mirza Delibašić has won everything there was to win with Yugoslavia including Olympic gold in 1980, European gold three times, World Championship gold in 1978, plus many titles in European club competitions.
In addition to having played together for their national team, Mirza Delibašić and Dražen Dalipagić have also played together for Real Madrid. Their performance in a 1981 Euroleague game vs. KK Cibona in Zagreb is only one of the many highlights of their careers.
Mirza Delibašić scored 33 and Dalipagić 30 points. The game appropriately finished with a two-on-one fastbreak with Delibašić making a behind-the-back fake pass to Dalipagić and passing by a defender for a two-handed dunk at the buzzer. Cibona fans put aside their team loss and showed their appreciation for Bosnian stars` performances with standing ovations at the end of the game.
In August 1983 He suffered a near-fatal brain hemorrhage and had to permanently retire from the sport he loved. He lived in Sarajevo throughout the 1992-1996 siege of the city. His final years were marked by persistent health problems due to his heavy drinking, which led to his death on December 8, 2001 in Sarajevo at the age of 47. Several thousand people attended his funeral in Sarajevo and KK Bosna renamed its arena in his honor.
In 2000, Mirza Delibašić was selected the sportsman of the 20th century in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A memorial basketball tournament is held every year in the Dvorana Mirza Delibašić. In 2007, he was enshrined in the FIBA Hall of Fame.

Statistician's Digest: Using statistics in basketball: the bar is higher
From Dan Rosenbaum NBA Blog
Download source here: 'Using statistics in basketball: the bar is higher ' By Dan T. Rosenbaum
"... Academic research, however, is pretty much on the side of statistics. Whether diagnosing patients or evaluating job candidates, human beings vastly overestimate their ability to make judgments, research shows. Numbers and analysis almost always make people better. ..."
"... The real question is whether the benefits of more data (often collected and analyzed in a more objective manner) outweighs the costs of a simplified model that necessarily ignores some aspects of reality. ..."
"... There's a sense in which basketball stats are much more related to economics than baseball stats are, which I always found a bit boring although incredibly accurate and powerful as a game predictor. Baseball is mostly about a small number of repetitive hand/eye coordination tasks, while basketball involves constant maximizing interaction between optimizing actors on the court. ..."

Our First Year on the Web...
Ten years ago this evening, on 24 December 1998, 20:00 GMT, I pressed a really scary big button in an old 386 Computer and the eBA-Stats.com website went online for the first time. This site was the first site of the actual eBA Stats Group and from a start of hits numbered in the thousands, the site now gets almost 10 million hits a year...
The second birthday...
During 1999, the eBA-stats.com web site, which has been built as a Basketball in general and Statistics in particular labor of love, took its first steps onto the World Wide Web with the aunch of the forums, the clinics and the directories sections. ......
Our third candle...
It’s weird and unworldly to imagine the Web when we started this site. Yahoo started about 1994. Google appears just with us. Nobody worried about PageRank back then, but we were quite pleased to be listed from the first days in all the Internet Directories. Netscape 1.0 was released in December 1994, and Internet Explorer first appeared in 1995......
The fourth celebration...
The site boasted a number of online-only features: a basketball store, a forum where basketball people could post questions and answers and debate about basketball statistics analysis, and a link for readers to comment on case studies and send feedback to the editor.......
During the following years on the Web...
Though our original web page at geocities and xoom ( http://www.geocities.com/allstats/index.html ) - with the "famous" bouncing basketball... - are probably lost to the winds of time, here's a version of our page from the first years... sorry about the design !
Thanks to the Internet Archive and reliving one’s formative years, here's what the site looked like in eBA Stats 2002 and eBA Stats 2004 as well ! ......
Four years ago...
While the history of eBA-Stats is a well-covered topic throughout the site, the impact of the network age, which coincidentally began around the same time our analysis system was released, even today, year 2008, it's difficult to measure, but also something to reflect upon and celebrate in tandem with eBA's birthday: the eBA Stats Group was born !
The eBA-Stats.com® Group - Portal in eBA-Stats.com ~ Forums in eBAforums.com ~ Encyclopedia in eBAwords.com ~ Clinics in eBAclinics.com ~ Blogs in eBAblogs.com & eBA Store -
begins to become a primary source of information and services for basketball coaches at the game statistical analysis area. In these years of professional life, the eBA-Stats.com® Group became the quickest and modern road to that information
The candle number 8...
The eBA-Stats.com® site started as a one-site-10 pages labor of love, has grown beyond all expectations: today the eBA Stats Group is comprised by 5 sites and more than 15.000 pages (and still counting...) !
It is still a labour of love, and its popularity due to YOUR SUPPORT means that each month approximately four million pages are viewed !
Therefore we needed to migrate ( second time in one year...! ) to a new, best and exclusive VPS server, including a dedicated IP, which assured us a 100% uptime for the last years !
Nowadays...
Ten years later, I am taking a few moments for a deep breath and a little reflection: eBA-Stats.com® Group is one of the largest non-commercial & bilingual basketball statistics analysis group websites in the world...!
To close anyway this celebration, thanks to Yahoo,
we invite you to fun little Flash retrospective,
where Yahoo revisits 100 memorable icons and events from the
last 10 years of the web... Enjoy !
Happy Birthday, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !
eBA-Stats.com® Group wishes to everybody,
our publishers, editors and registered members,
our friends coaches participants in the courses and clinics,
our advertisers and sponsors,
our readers and thousands of daily guests,
our families, colleagues and personal friends...
( clicking here you can read it in all
the languages spoken
in our basketball statisticians community .... )
A Happy Birthday, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !
May the season bring you joy and good cheer!
Onward ! ...
Our first ten years were about finding a voice, an audience, and a cause worth fighting for.
Please join us for what comes next.
We are together today, see you tomorrow !
...by the way, ten years ago also, on September 27 1998, Google, with three employees - Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Craig Silverstein, began life in a friend's garage...

Basketball News: Steps Forward for the FIBA Central Bureau
The Central Bureau of FIBA, the highest executive body of the International Basketball Federation, met at their fifth meeting of the term 2006-2010, in Geneva, Switzerland, being impressed by the quality of the presentations from China, Italy and Spain, the three candidate countries to host the FIBA World 2014.

The Championship will be open for the five champions of the FIBA Area Tournaments (5 teams) and the runners-up of FIBA Europe and FIBA Americas. The last club will be invited by the hosting city (and approved by FIBA).
The 1st FIBA World Club Championship will be played in five days on the second week of October, 2010 and for a total of ten games. The winner will receive one million dollars.

3. 2010 World Championship:
The FIBA Central Bureau received detailed reports of the World 2010 in Turkey, including a commitment of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the government together with the Federation of Turkey. The Central Bureau expressed concern about the feasibility of making the World Cup 2010 in Turkey, taking into account the aspects required to host an event as important as this.
The steps taken in the coming months will be crucial and will be monitored by FIBA.
4. Mexican Federation:

A New Feature at Basketball-Statistics.com: Charting Defense
From Basketball-statistics Blog
Download source here: 'A New Feature at Basketball-Statistics.com: Charting Defense' by Jon Nichols
"... As I’ve mentioned before, there are many issues with the current stats out there intended to measure individual defense (including mine). The best way to really analyze a player is to watch the games and record your observations. ..."
"... Kobe Bryant picked up at midcourt by Ron Artest, he moves right off Gasol’s screen, room for Bryant in the lane as he goes up for the throw down! Artest gives up the bucket to Kobe, but is that really fair? What about Yao, should he have hedged the screen? Maybe Artest could have fought through or around it and stayed in front of Bryant. What about after that — shouldn’t Carl Landry have stepped in to contest Bryant’s shot or take a charge? Or was McGrady in position to step in? This is the problem with the defensive metrics available today. They mean relatively little when looking at individual plays, where every defender has a job to do, and one failure leads to the failure of the entire defense. ..."
"... Six categories will be charted: Pick and/or Roll Coverage, One-on-one, Help Defense, Turnover Attempts, Rebounds, and Leaving Open/Getting Back. Here’s a breakdown: ..."

17:06:37, Categories: Archives DVD Description:
Basketball legend Lenny Wilkens, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach, is the engaging and expert host of this pair of instructional videos. Each tape, one focusing on skills of offense and one on skills of defense, follows a no-nonsense format: a friend of Wilkens, NBA coach Dick Helm, presents a brief lesson on a particular skill (such as specific nuances of dribbling or passing), and young athletes are shown performing the skill the way it should be done.
Then it's time for Wilkens to use his "chalkboard." The videotaped action is frozen while Wilkens draws on the screen with a "telestrator," literally highlighting particular points that require special attention. The coaches present a comprehensive set of skills, including ball handling, passing, and shooting on the offense tape, and pointers on stance, pressuring the ball, particular defensive maneuvers, and defensive rebounding on the defense tape.
The camera work is professional throughout, and a booklet that accompanies the tapes serves as both a table of contents for the tapes and a workbook, as it contains pointers on the skills covered in the video presentations. This is an excellent set of instructional tapes and would benefit any players who seriously want to improve their game.
Get in the game with Lenny Wilkens enhanced edition DVD of his classic basketball clinic series. Lenny and Dick Helm show you all you need to know to get your team to the playoffs! Legendary coach Lenny Wilkens teams up with Dick Helm to lay out the fundamentals of one of America's most dynamic and challenging sporting events: basketball.
Wilkens who holds the title as the most successful coach in the NBA (based on his impressive tally of wins) teaches beginner coaches and players how to run and read the floor handle the ball drive to the basket work with teammates and more. Includes the coach's video chalkboard. real strength is in its emphasis on teaching basketball fundamentals correctly.
Basketball Skills is an outstanding resource, potentially valuable to novice as well as experienced basketball coaches.
It is highly recommended for serious sports collections.

Statistician's Digest: Correlated Gaussian Statistics Method
We can calculate the winning percentage to points scored and allowed
using the "Correlated Gaussian Method" explained at the eBA System Area.
It is a method that relates winning percentage to points scored, points allowed, the standard deviations of points scored and allowed, and the correlation between points scored ( which can be replaced with offensive rating ) and points allowed ( which can be replaced with defensive rating ).
"Points scored" can be replaced with "offensive rating" and "points allowed" can be replaced with "defensive rating".
eBA Stats doesn't applies this method which is fully explained at the "Journal of Basketball Studies".
This method is discussed and defined too at eBA System - The Project.
About definitions and applications you can refer to the Global Basketball Encyclopedia.

Statistician's Digest: Here is the Bucks "true" winning percentage
From Bucks Diary
Download source here: Team Here is the Bucks "true" winning percentage
"... To find out, I calculated the efficiency differentials for every team the Bucks faced according to venue (home or away). I then flipped the numbers over (so that the Bucks opponents defensive numbers would be in the Bucks offensive column and vice versa). Then I took the resulting averages and ran them through the "expected winning percentage" formula I mentioned in the last post ..."
"... Now lets adjust their winning percentage to reflect that. If the Bucks were headed for a .500 season then given their schedule they should have a 0.437 winning percentage at the moment. The Bucks actual winning percentage is 0.375. Adjust that by .062 (theorizing that 0.437 is the team's actual "0.500 level" given their schedule) and you come up with a "true" winning percentage for your Milwaukee Bucks... fully adjusted for strength of schedule and road bias... of 0.438 ..."

Statistician's Digest: Who gets really the credit for the steal ?
When we have really a steal ? Which are the guidelines ? For example:
Player A1 from Team A bats the ball away from a player on the Team B, but finally A2 from the Team A gets possession of the ball.
Who gets the credit for the steal ? A1 or A2 ?
We are just studying this statistical category in the eBA ONLINE Basketball Statistics Clinic: the steals. Just to begin the discussion, some definitions:
In basketball, a steal occurs when a defensive player legally gains control of the ball from an offensive player. This can be done by deflecting and controlling, catching, or batting (to a teammate) a pass or dribble of an offensive player. A steal may happen while the offensive player is dribbling, holding the ball, or by intercepting a pass. The defender must not touch the offensive player's hands or otherwise a foul is called.
This a classical definition. The eBA conception is given in the Basketball Statistics Analysis Course and will be applied in the answer. And now, we are prepared for this question, A1 or A2 ? ...

Team Synergy Part 2: Ball Movement and Team Dynamics
From Rethinking Basketball
Download source here: Team Synergy Part 2: Ball Movement and Team Dynamics
"... After going through an amateurish statistical analysis of ball movement in the WNBA and NBA, I found that it might be valuable, but only one piece of a bigger picture.
I started out by looking at assisted field goal percentage (a/fg) and from there found a synergy statistic that seemed to have some descriptive (though not explanatory) value in terms of a team’s style of play. ..."
"... First, synergy differential doesn’t take turnovers into account and most coaches know that turnovers are extremely harmful. Second, it doesn’t take into account rebounding, something that many good teams do well – NBA and WNBA. Third there’s the problem with using assists as a means of analysis for anything – assists are assigned subjectively and are therefore inherently flawed. ..."
"... What I like most about this formula is that (as of now) it’s relatively simple to evaluate a team just looking at a box score: ..."

Harlem Globetrotters and the NBA ~ Historic Strategic Agreement
The Harlem Globetrotters and the NBA reached a strategic partnership agreement by which it, the NBA, will attempt to promote the international recognition level of the Globetrotters, by working hand by hand with them.
Thus, the agreement provides the Globetrotters with the opportunity to participate this year in several acts at the upcoming 'All-Star' Event of the NBA, which will be held next February in Phoenix. The NBA also will also collaborate with the organization and structure of the Globetrotter’s events abroad.
"The Harlem Globetrotters are known around the world and synonymous with family entertainment, we are very pleased to close this collaboration agreement which we know will enhance our efforts to promote constant growth of the sport globally," said very satisfied Heudu Ueberrroth, president of Commercial Collaborations of the NBA.
No less enthusiasm showed Kurt Schneider, CEO of the Globetrotters, following the agreement. "The NBA has always been very good at finding unique ways to marry entertainment and basketball. We believe that our unique view of making basketball along with the wise, expert, and well-established infrastructure of the NBA will conceive an unbeatable combination for both sides," Schneider proudly stated.

Statistician's Digest:
Fran Fraschilla describes his player evaluation methods to David Friedman
From Fran Fraschilla by David Friedman in Yard Barker
Download source here: Exclusive Interview with ESPN's Fran Fraschilla, Part III
"... Particularly in the past 10 years or so, a lot of statistical analysis has come into basketball, a process that started with Bill James' baseball work.
You see this a lot in the NBA right now. I think that there is value to it but I also think that the trained eye is important. Without leading you to an answer, I'd be interested in your perspective on where you fall on the continuum that ranges from old school people who came up in an era that relied entirely on the trained eye and used only the most basic stats to the people on the other end of the continuum like Dave Berri at Wages of Wins who has the attitude that he does not even need to watch games, that the eye is biased and all that he needs to do is crunch numbers in a certain way and then he knows exactly what is happening.
You basically have two extremes: you have an old school guy who says, 'I don't care about the numbers because I know what I am seeing' and then you have Dave Berri who essentially says, 'I don't watch games. All I do is crunch numbers.'
Where do you, Fran Fraschilla, place yourself on that continuum and what do you think of that whole debate? ..."

Basketball Unforgettable Legends: A Basketball Legend Passes Away
Pete Newell, one of the United States of America basketball legends, passed away last Monday (17th of November, 2008) at the age of 93, leaving a long list of triumphs in his long life.
With Newell as coach, the United States of America won the Olympic Gold Medal at Rome, Italy, in 1960, this after already obtaining various championships at the University level with San Francisco, Michigan State and California.
The spectacular team that he lead to the Gold Medal in 1960 that won eight games out of eight had amongst its members luminaries like Oscar Robertson, Jerry West and Jerry Lucas.
After that, he became a prominent figure as director of various and important training camps where he worked and improved the fundamentals of the game with figures such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Shaquille O’Neal and Ralph Sampson.
Amongst Newell biggest fans stands the prominent and prestigious coach Bobby Knight, known for his long career with the University of Indiana, where his teams were trained under a very similar style to Newell's; of game control, offensive discipline, and tenacity on top of working very hard on defense.

Statistician's Digest: Points per Field Goal Attempt
... What is by definition "Points per Field Goal Attempt", and which is its utility ? ...
Is a very simple and powerful measure of offensive efficiency. Instead of trying to determine which player is the best at all the categories, as in the other formulas models, this measure can be used as a tool by coaches who need points ( such as at the end of a close game ) to determine who get the ball to.

21:53:17, Categories: Archives Book Description:
Great basketball players like Tim Duncan and Dwyane Wade draw oohs and aahs with their spectacular moves. But before those players developed their superstar flair, they built a solid base of fundamental skills in all phases of the game.
Basketball Skills & Drills provides a perfect blueprint for building the foundation that every well-rounded player needs. This special book and DVD package demonstrates each key skill:
* Player positioning
* Moving without the ball
* Ballhandling combined with passing bullet
* Shooting
* Passing, catching, and dribbling
* Perimeter moves
* Post moves
* Defense
* Rebounding
The skills and 90 drills, coaching tips, and DVD reinforce the skill instruction, emphasize key points, and explain how to correct common errors. And since individual skills are effective only when used within the team concept, the book also covers key team principles for both ends of the court. Tactics for offense, including special situations such as out-of-bounds plays, will improve spacing, ball and player movement, shot selection, and scoring. Defensive tactics emphasize positioning, pressure, and various systems to apply in each area or level of the court.
To be an all-star, you must be fundamentally sound. Basketball Skills & Drills is your guide to becoming a complete player--one who can change the game with great moves and smart play.
About the Author:
In this instructor's guide, Krause, a 30-year coaching veteran, offers comprehensive assistance for developing a daily and seasonal basketball practice plan. Skill areas such as shooting, rebounding, fundamental movements, defensive and offensive play, ball handling, and team concepts are organized into a workable format.
Tips for coaches on overcoming specific problem areas are included, as well as suggestions for basic practice drills. However, the book's real strength is in its emphasis on teaching basketball fundamentals correctly. Basketball Skills is an outstanding resource, potentially valuable to novice as well as experienced basketball coaches. It is highly recommended for serious sports collections.

Statistician's Digest: Decipher College Basketball Team Stats
... How do you decipher the following college basketball team stats ?
Team Example: (24-2, 16-1 Pac-21) ...
When given in this format, the first set of numbers is overall wins - overall losses, in this case 24-2. Following in the example is conference record given as conference wins-conference losses with a designation of which of the 31 conferences the team is in, in this case the 'team example' record in their conference is 16-1 and the conference is Pacific #21.
Also given sometimes is the home, road, or neutral site record of the team (depending on where the game is being played). As with the other two, the general format is wins-losses. Thus, if the team above was playing its next game on the road, it could read as (24-2, 16-1 Pac-10, 12-1 road).

Basketball Players: Happy Birthday Kevin Gamble !
Kevin Douglas Gamble (born November 13, 1965 in Springfield, Illinois) is a retired American professional basketball player in the NBA. He is 6'5" and played as a shooting guard/small forward.
Gamble was selected with the 17th pick of the 3rd round (63rd overall) by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1987 NBA Draft. Injuries gave Gamble an opportunity to show his stuff, but, after only nine games, players such as veteran John Paxson and first round pick Ronnie Murphy were working their way back into the equation. He was cut to make room for veteran backcourt talent.
For his NBA career, Gamble averaged 9.5 pts on 50.2% shooting connecting with 36% of three point attempts and making 81% of free throws. He also averaged 2.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.4 minutes per game for 649 games. He made $12M dollars throughout his career.
In 2002, Gamble was named the men's basketball coach at the University of Illinois at Springfield in the American Midwest Conference (NAIA). Gamble is the first head coach of the Prairie Stars in the college's history as they just started up their basketball program.
The 2006-07 season saw the Prairie Stars capture their first American Midwest Conference (AMC) regular season title outright, win their second consecutive AMC Tournament and advance to the second round of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) National Tournament. Gamble's team went 11-1 in conference play and 23-9 overall and his continued success earned Gamble his second American Midwest Conference Coach of the Year honor.

Be The Coach Basketball Strategy Simulation Game by Brett Freedman
Be The Coach Basketball is a strategy basketball simulation game which puts you in the role of big time college basketball head coach, designed by Brett Freedman.
He tell us "... You've been given a five year contract to build a winner. Recruit from incoming high school stars and junior college transfers. Try out walk-ons and coach up your players skills. Turn Diaper Dandies into All Americans. Build a squad capable of competing for conference titles and national ranking. With planning and a little luck you may claim a National Championship.
The premise of this simulation is that you have been hired as head coach for a college basketball program. Choose a conference, a team and name your coach. Conferences have been pared down to eight teams for scheduling purposes so most are not quite real life. You will be introduced to your returning squad and then get a look at the recruiting pool of graduating high school seniors and junior college transfers. Recruit skill levels will range from 3 to 8. You may attempt to recruit as many players as you like - but your chances of getting any particular recruit decrease when you spread your energies around. ..."

Coaches Digest:
About the different leagues and the Alternating Possession Rule
About the different leagues and the Alternating Possession Rule:
FIBA - On all held ball/jump ball situations during the game (including the beginning of most periods), teams alternate receiving the ball ("alternating possession"), with the team not gaining possession of the initial (tossed) jump ball being the first recipient.
- First half begins with a jump ball; alternating possession at the beginning of all other periods.
- The shot clock shall not be reset if the offensive team retains possession of the ball through the alternating process.
NBA - On all held ball/jump ball situations during the game, play resumes with a (tossed) jump ball
- If the offence retains possession after a jump ball, the clock is reset to 14 seconds or remains the same if there were more than 14 seconds on the clock. If the defense gains possession, the clock is reset to 24 seconds.
- First period and any overtime begin with a jump ball; periods 2, 3, and 4 start with possession based on team winning opening tip (2 and 3 to loser of tip, 4 to winner)
WNBA - On all held ball/jump ball situations, play resumes with a (tossed) jump ball
- Each half and overtime period starts with a jump ball.
NCAA Men - On all held ball/jump ball situations during the game (including the start of the second half), teams alternate receiving the ball ("alternating possession"), with the team not gaining possession of the last (tossed) jump ball being the first recipient
- The game and any overtime period start with a jump ball; alternating possession at the beginning of the second half
- If the offensive team retains the ball due to the alternating process, the shot clock shall not be reset.

Rules Corner: Error after a Time-out in the backcourt:
"... A1 requests a 60-second time-out in the backcourt. After the time-out is completed, the official mistakenly gives Team B the ball for a sideline throw-in. B1 performs the throw-in to B2 ahead the official perceives the error.
"Correctable Referee's Error" ? Which is the correct ruling and statistical register ? ..."
This is not a correctable error case; the game should go on. Unmistakably, officials should initiate a course of action to keep off this type of error. There are a lot of methods which can be applied, such as holding the ball under the arm that indicates in the direction the ball will go when the game is restarted.

Basketball News:
The ULEB Competition Model for the Qualification of the National Leagues
ULEB General Assembly held in Barcelona has decided to trust in a competition’s model based essentially on the sport principle for the qualification of the national leagues. The new project guarantees the participation of 30 teams from 25 countries in the Euroleague taking as reference the Champions League.
Yesterday 22nd October ULEB has held a General Assembly with one only issue in the agenda: analysis, assessment, and where appropriate, approval of the competition model for Euroleague and Eurocup, submitted in the last General Assembly held in Paris on 23rd September.
ULEB has explained the main advantages of the project and the differences between that model and the one put forward by Euroleague in Berlin, that was not approved definitively, to the 16 attendance leagues – 15 leagues members of ULEB and the Russian Superleague, invited by ULEB. Russian Superleague is going to be accepted as a full member of ULEB once they have submitted the By-Laws of the league for its inscription.
After a depth analysis of the competition, ULEB General Assembly has decided to trust in the development of a system essentially based on three main principles:
1. Qualification based on annual sport results in national or zonal competitions previously recognized by ULEB.
2. Fulfillment of the minimum requirements of entry and participation established by Euroleague (capacity of the arenas, budget, and so on).
3. To set a dynamic ranking of participation that will determine the number of clubs and leagues, according to the sport relevance.
The General Assembly has agreed that this sporting project, that has as a reference the Champions League, gives the maximum relevance to the qualification in national competitions in both European competitions, Euroleague and Eurocup, and it will allow the global growing of the clubs in national leagues and also in Europe.

Ricard "Ricky" Rubio Vives (born October 21, 1990 in El Masnou, Barcelona) is a Spanish professional basketball player.

The team was composed of such players as Pau Gasol, José Calderón, Rudy Fernández, Marc Gasol, Raul Lopez, Jorge Garbajosa, and Juan Carlos Navarro, among others.
He played in the 2008 Olympic Basketball Tournament's Gold Medal Match Finale against Team USA, and thus became the youngest basketball player to ever play in the Olympic Basketball Final.

"... "You have to consider [a player's] points per possession, where you're factoring in turnovers and [shot] misses. It turns everything around instead of saying '30 points is good and 20 is an off night,' " Beech said ..."
"... "I don't see statistical analysis taking over basketball to the degree it has in baseball because most basketball writers aren't as stat-obsessed," Adande wrote in an e-mail message. "One problem is that defense is difficult to truly quantify statistically, and since defense is such an important part of basketball how can you really evaluate a player if there's no way to objectively measure his defense?" ..."

Coach's Digest: Basketball Clips: Pete Maravich - Pistol Pete
Peter Press Maravich (June 22, 1947 – January 5, 1988) was an American basketball player known for his dazzling ballhandling, incredible shooting abilities, and creative passing. He learned at a very young age fundamental basketball and ball handling drills from his father, coach Press Maravich. He would follow his father and coach throughout the eastern and gulf seaboards as a young man before exploding onto the National Basketball Association (NBA) in his own right.
Nicknamed "Pistol Pete", Maravich starred in college at Louisiana State University (LSU) and for three NBA teams. Maravich is still the all-time leading NCAA Division I scorer, averaging a staggering 44.2 points per game, without the benefit of a three-point line and despite the fact that when Pete was in his first year of college, the NCAA had separate freshmen and varsity basketball teams and freshmen were not allowed to play on the varsity team. Years later former LSU head basketball coach Dale Brown charted every college game Maravich played, taking into consideration all shots Pete took. The coach calculated that at the NCAA rule of a three-point line at 19-foot, 9-inches from the rim, Maravich would have averaged thirteen 3-point scores per game, which would have given the player a career average of 57 points per game.

Basketball Unforgettable Legends: Predrag "Sasha" Danilović
Predrag "Sasha" Danilović (Serbian Cyrillic: Предраг Даниловић - Саша) (born February 26, 1970, in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia) is a retired Serbian professional basketball player, considered the best European shooting guard during the 1990s, and current president of his former team KK Partizan Belgrade. Danilović was voted European Player of the Year in 1995, and was the 1998 Italian Basketball League MVP. During his years in Virtus Bologna, he became an idol among team's fans. Still a legendary hero in Bologna, Danilovic remains one of the most charismatic and winning players in European basketball history.
Predrag Danilović - Yugoslavia
1990 Buenos Aires FIBA World Championship Winner
With the national basketball team, Danilović won four Eurobaskets in 1989, 1991, 1995, and 1997. He was also a member of the silver medal winning Yugoslavian team at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Even though he was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 43rd pick overall in the 1992 NBA Draft (his rights were later dealt to another team), he spent time playing in Europe before debuting in the NBA. Danilović played for KK Bosna Sarajevo, KK Partizan, and Virtus Kinder Bologna before he was a member of the NBA's Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks from 1995 until 1997. During his two NBA seasons, Danilović averaged 12.8 points per game.
With the Italian team Virtus Kinder Bologna he won four national championships (1993, 1994, 1995, 1998), one Italian Cup (1999) and one Euroleague (1998).

Statistician's Digest: Sorry, Basketball Stats Analysis Not a Science
From David Friedman in 20 Second Timeout
Download source here: A Look at Basketball Statistical Analysis
"... I don't expect that people who are making good money peddling their formulas and evaluations will stop doing so just because I have pointed out the flaws in their methodologies but it would be nice if someone who has the resources to do so would at least look into the way that certain statistics are kept, most notably assists. ..."
"... Of course, none of this will stop the "stat gurus" from breathlessly telling us two weeks after the season started the "exact" ratings for every player in the NBA, all while making snide remarks about the GMs, coaches and scouts who make their livings doing proper, in depth player analysis. ..."
"... Statistical analysis of the sport of basketball is a wonderful idea in theory, provided that the people who are doing the analysis--and the people who are using the final product of the analysis--understand the exact nature and limitations of these numbers. ..."

Basketball News:
F.C. Barcelona officially confirmed that Daniel Santiago
F.C. Barcelona officially confirmed that Daniel Santiago will reinforce the team in season 2008-09. Santiago, who spent the last three seasons in Unicaja Malaga, will fill in the gap that Mario Kasun left in Barcelona's roster this summer.
Santiago averaged 9.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game in ACB while he stayed in Malaga.

Basketball Players: Happy Birthday Grant Hill !
Grant Henry Hill (born October 5, 1972) is an American professional basketball player currently playing for the NBA's Phoenix Suns. He is 2.04 m (6 ft 8 in). As a collegiate and early professional, Hill was considered one of the best all-around players in the game, often leading his team in points, rebounds and assists. His stint in the league has been hampered by career-threatening injuries, notably towards the late part of his career.
Hill became an unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2007. On July 5, Hill's agent, Lon Babby, said Hill intended to sign with the Phoenix Suns on July 11 (the first day free agents can officially sign contracts).[4] Hill will earn $1.83 million for 2007–08, with a $1.97 million player option for the next year.
Hill was given permission by Suns Ring of Honor member Alvan Adams to wear his familiar No. 33 with the Suns. Hill has adapted well to the Suns' up-tempo style, averaging double figures in points as a key role player for Phoenix in the early months of the 2007-08 season.
He played in the team's first 34 games before an emergency appendectomy on January 9, 2008, sidelined him for two weeks. Despite being bothered by multiple injuries throughout the season, Hill had his first 70-game season since leaving Detroit, averaging 13.1 ppg, 5.0 rpg and 2.9 apg in the process.

"Bo Ryan is not only one of the great coaches in our game, he is also one of the great personalities. I have tremendous respect for him and really enjoy his perspective on college basketball and student-athletes. He's the kind of person you could enjoy your son playing for." "Bo Ryan is one of the game's finest coaches, and he has come up the ranks the hard way, and the right way. Ryan is substance over flash, and has developed his skills and philosophy outside of the spotlight. |
Because of his success, Ryan now lives in the spotlight. Ryan is proof positive that a steadfast belief in core principles and an enduring will to compete can carry you to the top. Ryan is really talented, too, a fact that is too often overlooked. Bo Ryan is the real thing."
Jay Bilas, ESPN College Basketball Analyst
Book Description
Bo knows hoops. As a member of the exclusive 500-win club, University of Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan has the second highest winning percentage among active coaches (with at least 500 victories) in college basketball, second only to North Carolina's Roy Williams. Ryan's formula for success can be traced back to UW-Platteville, where he won four national championships during a memorable 15-year run punctuated by two undefeated seasons.
But there was still another hill to climb for Bo Ryan, the all-time winningest coach in Division III history.
After a short layover at UW-Milwaukee, where he coached the Panthers to their first back-to-back winning seasons in eight years, Ryan welcomed the challenge of proving himself all over again at the Big Ten level.
And it didn't take long for Ryan to make his mark with the University of Wisconsin basketball program. In his first season, he guided the Badgers to their first share of the conference title in 55 years.
Since then, Ryan has raised the bar to unprecedented heights, leading the Badgers to the four winningest seasons in school history.
Ryan's first six teams averaged 23.7 wins per season, capped by the program's first ever No. 1 national ranking and a school record 30 victories in 2006-07.
The victory record was broken the next year as the 2007-08 team finished 31-5.
Ryan's competitive fire, attention to detail and commitment to executing the fundamentals has been at the core of his success, along with his signature Swing offense. And it all serves as a valuable road map for young coaches.
In his autobiography Another Hill To Climb Ryan talks about the many people who have influenced his journey, beginning with his formative years in Chester, PA., where the 'street-smart'' Ryan nurtured his point guard mentality.
Known as a fascinating storyteller, Ryan also talks about the hurdles and the highlights that accompanied each step, and the importance of developing a plan that will transcend any level of competition.

Statistician's Digest: The Importance of Efficiency in Basketball Analysis
From Jon Nichols in NBA Draft
Download source here: NBA Draft ~ The Importance of Efficiency
"...Most people who use advanced basketball statistics would be able to tell you why it’s often more useful to look at measures of efficiency instead of number totals. For example, when looking at how good a team is at offense, it’s better to look at offensive efficiency (how many points a team scores per 100 possessions) than points per game. That’s because offensive efficiency is adjusted for pace, and since teams trade possessions back and forth, it does not really matter how quickly you score. What matters is making the most out of every possession and forcing the opposing team to waste their possessions. ..."

Basketball News: Andres Nocioni Proud about his country, Argentina
The Argentinean forward Andrés Nocioni has a solid career in the NBA playing for the Chicago Bulls, yet he feels honored for being able to play for his country, Argentina, at international tournaments.
He said in an interview that he still felt the high of winning the Bronze at the Olympic Games even though he was injured and Manu Ginobili was not able to play at their final game due to an injured foot.
Several days after obtaining the third place at the Olympic Games, where the United States captured the Gold and Spain the Silver, FIBA announced their new world ranking where it was revealed that Argentina was position at the first place in the world.
“I feel a lot of pride for being part of the team that help my country reach the first place in World Basketball in the eyes of FIBA, even more so because we are not a traditionally basketball country." Nocioni said.
FIBA rewarded Argentina for their consistency at international tournaments, having obtained second place at the 2006 World Championship in Japan, Olympic Gold at the 2004 Games in Athens and now the bronze in the last edition of the Olympic Games at Beijing.
Nocioni added "One thing is for sure: I have not played my last game with my National Basketball Team."

Statistician's Digest: Operationalizing Interestingness in Basketball
From David Sparks in The Arbitrarian
Download source here: The Arbitrarian ~ Operationalizing Interestingness
"...Obviously, there are innumerable ways to conceptualize "interestingness" in basketball--amount of interpersonal drama, perhaps, or exciting style of play--but today I'm going to present a series of different takes on interestingness, and apply these measures to the NBA. ..."
"... First, since several of the following definitions of interestingness rely on it, I want to define a very simplistic and abstracted way of predicting game outcomes. First, imagine that you have two coins, each of which has a 50% chance of landing on heads, and a 50% chance of landing on tails. What are the odds of the various possible outcomes from flipping both simultaneously? ..."
"... One final means of defining interest as we head into the 08-09 season, is potential. Every player, at any given time, has a certain level of productivity, and this level of productivity varies in generally predictable ways: usually it takes several years in the league to climb to peak productivity, which is maintained for several more years, before a decline sets in. Typically, players are their most productive in the middle of their careers--rarely do they peak in their rookie year, and even more rarely do they leave the league at the top of their game. ..."

One-on-one: Rudy Fernandez in America
"On Sunday, I'll travel to America to begin my career with the Portland Trail Blazers.
I played in my second Olympics at the Beijing Games with the Spanish and had very good displays in several contests, including a narrow title-game defeat to the United States...
I am prepared to go up against the best players in the world at club level, too." Rudy Fernandez said.
"This is a unique experience that I wanted to live,".
"Whether it goes well or not, I will have at least had the chance to experience it. To return early would not be a failure. I am prepared for that challenge." Fernandez said.
"The coach has a lot of confidence in me and wants me to be an important member in the team,".
"My aim is to play minutes."
"My mother will accompany me on my trip to America and live with me for the first two years." Rudy concluded.
Fernandez averaged 13.1 points per game in Beijing, although in Spain's toughest clashes he was far more influential.
In an overtime win over China, Fernandez had 21 points and in the semi-final against Lithuania, he poured in 18.
In the gold-medal showdown with Team USA, Fernandez made five three-pointers and finished with 22 points.

Basketball's Most Wanted II
By: Jr. David L. Hudson
Basketball has so many great stories, so many interesting anecdotes-about college and pro teams, players from all levels, announcers, and even owners-that one book just isn't enough to hold it all. That's why Potomac Books, Inc. is introducing Basketball's Most Wanted II: The Top 10 Book of More Hotshot Hoopsters, Double Dribbles, and Roundball Oddities. With even more fun tales and interesting facts from the world of hoops, there's something in here for all fans of basketball.
Which NBA team attempted to draft a player straight out of high school in 1969-a female player from the Iowa six-on-six league? What standard features in today's NBA were originally introduced in the renegade American Basketball Association? Who are the best three-point shooters in both the pros and college? Which high school team had an amazing four future NBA players on its roster? With which team did Wilt Chamberlain begin his professional career? (Hint: It wasn't an NBA team.)
You'll find the answers to all those questions and so much more in Basketball's Most Wantedª II, including the best and worst basketball movies, the most shocking NCAA tournament upsets, top names from basketball's "Asian invasion," and even guys who played one game-and only one game-in the NBA.
So join David L. Hudson, Jr. as he looks at the amazing and the amusing, the wacky and the wonderful, the best and worst of everything basketball has to offer. It's a slam dunk!.

Basketball News: Last Comments from Mexico and Puerto
The LNBP goes live at Mexico
After a five month break, last Wednesday was the kick off for the National Professional League of Mexico (LNBP) with three new teams for this season: Loros de Colima, Potros ITSON and Estrellas Indebasquet.
Los Loros have veteran player, center Juan Valenzuela, and prized US import players, Leroy Davis, who played at Georgia Tech, Marlo Dumont, who saw action with TCU and Byron Burnett, of the Florida International University.
Meanwhile, Potros signed Cedric Patton, who had a solid season with the Caballeros de Culiacán and also signed Joe Chapman, graduate from Marquette University with an outstanding stint in the Czech Republic's Professional basketball league, averaging 13.1 points per game.
Moreover, Estrellas de Indebasquet home town will be Mexico City, a town without a professional team since the 2005 season. The boast several local veteran players such as Rafael Sandoval and Alfonso Lopez.
José Juan Barea, the MVP
As expected, the NBA's Dallas Mavericks point guard, José Juan Barea, became the most valuable player of the 2008 edition of the Centrobasket Championship, closing the event with 111 points, 12 rebounds, and 32 assists.
“It feels very nice to have won this trophy, but it falls short to winning the championship along with your country's teammates, which was the goal and happily we were able to make it happen. We had a great rival with the US Virgin Islands, who played very well; we also fell under the heavy hand of fatigue but to our fortune, our bench was able to come on the court and give us the help we needed to finish the championship. This and the fact that everyone was effective were the key factors for our triumph”, explained Barea at a press conference.
Puerto Rico head coach, Manuel Cintrón, praised his players for their competence. “They all deserve praise for their commitment at every game, it was not easy to play these tournaments as they are very physically demanding to any team. They all did good.”, said Cintrón.

Statistician's Digest: Team & Dead-ball Rebounds Definition
A team rebound is credited to the team that is entitled to the ball for a throw-in if the ball has gone out of bounds after a missed goal but before there was player control. However, this does not include cases where the ball is out of bounds because it passes over the backboard or touches the supports or back of the backboard, the ceiling, or overhead equipment or supports, unless the ball was touched by a player after the missed goal but before the ball was out of bounds.
A dead-ball rebound is credited whenever the ball is dead after a missed goal but before it meets the conditions for an individual or team rebound. It is credited as follows:
(1) To the team that is entitled to the ball for a throw-in or a free throw.
(2) To the team that shot the ball if the ball becomes dead due to the expiration of time or if the ball was shot after the expiration of time.
(3) To the team into whose basket a defensive player tips a missed shot.
(4) To the team into whose basket an offensive player deflects a missed
shot without intent.
(5) To the team that first gains possession of the opening jump ball after a missed free throw awarded for a technical foul.
There is a distinction between team and dead-ball rebounds. There can be no team rebound unless the ball has gone out of bounds without a player first earning an individual rebound. If the ball becomes dead before it meets the requirement for either an individual or a team rebound, then a dead-ball rebound is credited.
Why we keep dead-ball rebounds at the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System ? Because team rebounds reflect team rebounding ability, while dead-ball rebounds do not. In national rankings, individual and team rebounds are included, but dead-ball rebounds are not. Analysis of game statistics indicates that each—team and dead-ball rebounds—accounts for about five percent of a team’s rebounds. Therefore, if dead-ball rebounds are counted as team rebounds, it could affect the possessions account and the national rankings.

Basketball News:
Argentina's Head Coach Sergio Hernandez Uncertain Future
Argentina's Head Coach for the previous three summers, Sergio Hernandez, does not know at the moment if he will continue to be the team's guide and mentor, even after returning from the 2008 Beijing Olympics with a Bronze Medal in the Games Basketball Tournament.
The thing is that his contract with the CABB (Basketball Confederation of Argentina) reached end of life at the end of the 2008 Olympic games. In an interview with Buenos Aires, Argentina, news outlet, Olé, he said that he still doesn't know whether he will continue to lead Team Argentina or not.
“The cycle has ended and there could be a contract renewal or not. But, to be completely frank, at this moment in time, that is something that is not taking a lot of space in my mind. Right now I have to lower revolutions, take some down time and let the results from Beijing take its course. This is also a time where the Confederation must analyze and decide on what they want to do.", explained Hernandez, who at the moment is also the mentor of the FIBA Americas League first edition Champion, basketball club Peñarol and before that was the driving force behind the, also Argentinean basketball club, Boca Juniors.
Hernandez came in to take the reins of the team after Rubén Magnano, who was Head Coach for the team at the 2004 Olympics at Athens, Greece, and left Team Argentina to lead basketball club Real Madrid of the ACB League in Spain. “Gonzalo Garcia, Guillermo Narvarte and Julio Lamas are first class coaches. I had the privilege of having them as assistants. I think that any of them could and would be excellent for the position of head coach for the team", said Hernandez.

This book includes 143 advanced, multi-purpose offensive drills that are designed so that coaches can revise them to be appropriate for their own offensive scheme. Each drill is diagrammed and explained in detail as a conditioning drill, an individual improvement drill, and a team strategy lesson, including the length of time needed, rotations, and variations. |
Although each of the 11 chapters focuses on a primary offensive goal, each specific drill is designed to also develop many other key fundamental and team aspects.
Jay Bilas, ESPN College Basketball Analyst
An easy-to-use and reference "drill finder" allows you to quickly find drills by skill and position. Ideal for veteran coaches and rookie coaches hoping to become veterans.

Basketball Unforgettable Legends: Pierluigi Marzorati
Pierluigi Marzorati (born September 12, 1952 in Figino Serenza) is a basketball player from Italy, who won the silver medal with his national team at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. Yugoslavia turned out to be too strong for Italy in the final: the match ended 77-86.
He eventually played 278 matches for Italian national team scoring 2209 points. He won 1983 European Championship and three bronze medals at the Eurobasket 1971, Eurobasket 1975 and Eurobasket 1985.
He is considered one of the best points guards of all time in Europe.
He was one of the key players of the Pallacanestro Cantù team (which he played for from 1969 to 1991), winning 2 Italian league titles (in 1975 and 1981), 2 European Basketball Champions' Cups (in 1982 and 1983), 4 Korac Cups (in 1973, 1974, 1975 and 1991), 2 Intercontinental Cups (in 1975 and 1982) and 4 Cup Winners' Cups (in 1977, 1978, 1979 and 1981).
He first announced his retirement in 1991 after playing his whole career for Pallacanestro Cantù. He became a vice-president for the club and served in that capacity until 1996.
In July 2006 he decided, aged 54, to come back to top class competitions with Pallacanestro Cantù for the 70th anniversary of the team. On October 6, 2006, he finally appeared in an official match for Cantù, playing two minutes in Serie A league match against national champions Benetton Treviso, then won 70-69. This way, he became the first basketball player in history to have played official matches in five different decades, as well as the oldest professional basketball player to have ever taken part in an official match.
In 2007, he was enshrined in the FIBA Hall of Fame, and in 2008 Marzorati chosen as one of 50 Greatest Euroleague Contributors.
