+/- thread?

[niveklaen]

I was spoiled the last couple of years by being able to read a thread that kept a running track of Duke's plus/minus number by player and lineup. I have not spotted one this year. Does anyone know of a place where this info is kept/publically available? I would love to know if we really 'play better' with Thorton in the game etc...

HAHA, yea I asked the same thing a few weeks ago after K said the same thing (we play better with Thronton in the lineup)

this sparked a big (and recurring) debate about the value of +/- as a stat. Do some searching and you can find that thread. It was started by me, and might be titled "Quinn Cook Start?" or something of that nature.

To answer your question, however, No, there is not a thread tracking +/-, which is something that Jumbo (I believe) used to do. He's been on hiatus for over a year now.

But I believe there is a poster on the board who is tracking it. I'll dig up his name for you...

Edit: ACCBballfan tracks some stats and does lots of stat analysis. scacchoops.com is another source and the guy who runs that site used to post here, not sure if he/she does anymore...

pfrduke has been avalanched at work in November and may/may not be doing these going forward. To the extent an able volunteer wants to take on the task, I'd be more than happy to pass along the mantle.
