WINNING BY MOMENT
I came across this Moment by Moment Chances of Winning when reading Henry Abbott's ESPN True Hoop column the other day. This stat lovers paradise is known as ProTrade where you can buy and sell players like stock. Game #1 of the NBA championships is featured with key break points and how the chances of winning, or losing, rises and falls depending on the action. They have other sports, but only the NBA has real time information available.

Here is another site for those craving numbers: the Association for Professional Basketball Research.

DRAFTS/PLAYER SELECTION
Here is a strong article in the Crossover Movement. It basically states what is wrong with the whole tryout, predraft camps with the emphasis on testing.
Read the last paragraph in ESPN's article about Kevin Durant and his pre draft workout.

PREP SPORTS IMPORTANT
Here is an article in the Wisconsin State Journal by Tom Oates on the importance of High school sports, the lessons learned and what is best for the athletes long term development.

Thanks for the readers for pointing out some of these articles. For those expecting an out & about from the weekend, I digested both games yesterday. Check Sundays postings.

Next up: tomorrow morning.
