The formula takes the officials into consideration.

Thanks for doing these its fun to see because there is no great ratings out there for WNBA basketball such as Sagarin does for almost all major sports.

I am not overly familar with hollingers ratings are you able to use those as a predictor of future events? (once you get a nice sample size obviously which is hard in a short season)

Probably the best predictor of future success is overall margin of victory. (I might post those in the future). Hollinger's ratings take victory margin into account in a big way, as well as strength of schedule, and home/away games played.

As actuaries say, "We're experts at predicting the past." The Hollinger Rankings are a useful (if sometimes controversial) tool that tries to take a whole bunch of different things into account. But in order to get a *true* predictor of future performance, you'd need to take a lot more things into account:

a) weigh recent performance more heavily
b) figure out some way to mitigate the impact of trades
c) predict how quickly a returning player can come back from injuries,

etc. Which is probably why no one has ever done it!

With the Shock going to 6-1 after last night's game, a rising tide raises all boats -- the Storm finally play an opponent without a losing record, and the Comets have now played the Shock, the Storm and the 5-0 Lynx. They are the only teams to move up after last night.

Statistics are the hobgoblins of minds that use facts to make their cases about certain situations look like they don't appear to be on the outside. The Red Sox hired Bill James, who looked at stats in a way no one else had ever done. They listened to him. They applied what he was telling them and they turned themselves around.

Here is an example of James way of seeing baseball--some of which could be applied to basketball:

A Bill James Primer
Extracted from The Bill James Baseball Abstract 1988
Ballantine Books, New York
Copyright 1988 by Bill James

"What I wanted to write about... is a very basic question. Of all the studies I have done over the last 12 years, what have I learned? What is the relevance of sabermetric knowledge to the decision making process of a team? If I were employed by a major-league team, what are the basic things that I know from the research I have done which would be of use to me in helping that team?"

1. Minor league batting statistics will predict major league batting performance with essentially the same reliability as previous major league statistics.
2. Talent in baseball is not normally distributed. It is a pyramid. For every player who is 10 percent above the average player, there are probably twenty players who are 10 pecent below average.
3. What a player hits in one ballpark may be radically different from what he would hit in another.
4. Ballplayers, as a group, reach their peak value much earlier and decline much more rapidly than people believe.
5. Players taken in the June draft coming out of college (or with at least two years of college) perform dramatically better than players drafted out of high school.
6. The chance of getting a good player with a high draft pick is substantial enough that it is clearly a disastrous strategy to give up a first round draft choice to sign a mediocre free agent. (see note #1)
7. A power pitcher has a dramatically higher expectation for future wins than does a finesse picther of the same age and ability.
8. Single season won-lost records have almost no value as an indicator of a pitcher's contribution to a team.
9. The largest variable determining how many runs a team will score is how many times they get their leadoff man on base.
10. A great deal of what is perceived as being pitching is in fact defense.
11. True shortage of talent almost never occurs at the left end of the defensive spectrum. (see note #2)
12. Rightward shifts along the defensive spectrum almost never work. (see note #2)
13. Our idea of what makes a team good on artificial turf is not supported by any research.
14. When a team improves sharply one season they will almost always decline in the next.
15. The platoon differential is real and virtually universal

Notes:

1. Major league teams still must surrender choices in the amateur draft in exchange for signing free agents.
2. The defensive spectrum looks like this:


[ - - 1B - LF - RF - 3B - CF - 2B - SS - C - - ]
with the basic premise being that positions at the right end of
the spectrum are more difficult than the positions at the left
end of the spectrum. Players can generally move from right
to left along the spectrum successfully during their careers.

I agree. When it comes to baseball, I'm pretty much an example of James. I keep in mind, however, that these new statistics can tell us things, but it's also important to keep in mind what they don't tell us and keep in mind their weaknesses.

Every stat, even the Hollinger metric above, is an imperfect measure of something. Take points per game. It gives us a clue that a player 'might' be good, but it could also indicate that the player takes a lot of shots due to the weakness of her teammates. It says nothing about how 'efficiently' a player creates points or helps her teammates score. No stat, even the new stats, are 'be all and end all' measures of anything.

I've just signed on to the APBRmetrics message board, which is trying to change the way basketball stats are looked at. Very interesting reading.

The winners and losers after last night? Then Sun tumble two spaces due to letting the Mystics get back in it and close the margin of victory (having played the Liberty twice also weakens Connecticut's SOS down to near bottom).

The Liberty take a two-spot tumble, while another team in Chicago moves up two places to take the biggest jump in the rankings....

How did the Sun's average margin of victory go from 7 to 5.125 even though they won by 8 points yesterday?

Because, young grasshopper, I screwed up. I transposed the score on the Sun's column, crediting them with 79 points for and 87 points against, when it should have been the other way around.

Here are the corrected stats. Thanks for the catch!

After last night's game, the Fever suffer the most -- falling four places -- but the loss by the Shock to LA means that Connecticut can bask in the glory of being on top of the newest Hollingers.

Only one change in the Hollingers - the Lynx fall from their perch, and other teams move up to fill the gap. Unfortunately, one of these teams isn't Sacramento. Earlier, I credited them with an away victory against Detroit when it should have been a home victory, so the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

Last night's Sparks win moves the Sun and the Sparks half a point closer to each other, which is enough to move the Sun out of first place.

The Storm become the first team to play more than 10 games this year -- and with Hollinger giving special weight to the last 10 games a team plays, the Storm get a chance to move up as well.
