I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that I’ve accepted an offer to work for an NBA team doing statistical analysis along the lines of the work I’ve posted on this site. The bad news is that the future research I do will be just for that team and won’t be something that I can publish and share with everyone (even Amir Johnson himself!).

So for the foreseeable future, I won’t be posting any of my original basketball research on this blog. My old posts will still be here, the links page will still be here (I’ll try to keep it updated), and I still may make occasional blog posts on other topics (perhaps just linking to other people’s work).

Thanks to everyone who has posted comments or sent me emails regarding past posts. And going forward if anyone has any thoughts or questions about old posts feel free to comment or email and I’ll try to respond.

Welcome to the Count The Basket blog. I started Count The Basket to make it easier to find all the basketball statistics available on the web. In this blog I will present some ways of using all that data to try to better understand the game of basketball.
