Leading with the Heart 
By Mike Krzyzewski - Coach K
The book has four sections--"Preseason," "Regular Season,"
"Postseason," and "All-Season"--and each of those has four chapters.
Each chapter begins with three quotes ("Too many rules get in the way of
leadership" leads off chapter 1), and ends with bulleted tips summing up the
chapter's message. Between the quotes and the bullet points are anecdotes about Duke
Basketball games and (occasionally) Krzyzewski's life outside Basketball.
What you come away with is an understanding of why Krzyzewski is a great Basketball coach,

better coach....

24/02/06 - From "Measuring
players": "The most necessary statistic for any additional analysis, is the
number of possessions a team gets in a game. Points scored doesn’t tell the whole
story, because different styles of play will lead to different numbers of possessions.
If a team play slow-down ball, almost running the shot clock to zero
each possession, then there will be fewer total possessions in the game. Essentially, this
shortens the game, since the real length of the game in practical terms is how many
possessions each team gets.
A basic misconception in analysis and broadcasting, treat as equivalent points scored and
points given up with offensive and defensive quality, without properly normalizing for
possessions. If a team shoots really quickly every time down the floor....... "

22/02/06 - "The modified Tendex rating was created
by Jon Scott based on a "per minute" basis and a "per game" basis. The
per game basis weights more heavily toward players who play more
substantial minutes and
therefore reflect their worth to the team (from the fact that the coach chose to play them
the majority of the minutes). The "per minute" basis better highlights players
who may come in for short times, but who are extremely productive while in game.
{[ Points + Rebounds + 1.25*Assists + 1.25*Steals + Blocks - 1.25*Turnovers - Missed
field goals - (Missed free throws / 2) - Personal Fouls / 2 ] / Minutes / Game Pace }
The Tendex is fully explained in the article "Formulas Revision" and
discussed at Stats
Discussions.
