Synopsis
Basketball on Paper doesn't just stop with player evaluation: Dean Oliver occasionally applies business models to teamwork debates, and discusses strategy and variables of the game. How should an underdog change its strategy from when it is favored? How many wins or losses does a coach contribute? When is a good time to take a timeout? How much can a neutral but error-prone referee affect a team's chances of winning? Do teams rebound three-point shots more than two-point shots? Should Kentucky have pressed so much under Rick Pitino? What are the four statistical factors that a basketball team should control in order to win?
