Purchase The Summit Madness Conference Metrics Guide

Throughout the basketball season I've leaned heavily on tempo-free statistics and advanced metrics to help analyze teams and players around the Summit League. I've also debuted a few of my own metrics here, including points per steal and the clutch gauge, that were received well by readers. If you've enjoyed the Summit Madness brand of analysis this season, then you may be interested in purchasing the Summit Madness 2011-12 Conference Metrics guide that I've prepared in advance of the conference tournament.

The guide is for sale for $4.50 and features 37 pages of original, exclusive metrics for the eight teams playing in the conference tournament. It is available as an electronic file (PDF) and contains the following information for each team that is participating in the conference tourney:

• Charts of game-by-game offensive and defensive efficiency averages and five-game moving averages of both offensive and defensive efficiency (to provide a "big picture" and a "recent picture" view of a given team's per-possession performance).
• And-1 rates for every player on a given team (includes number of And-1s drawn).
• Number of dunks and dunk rate for every player.
• Points per steal for every player.
• "Clutch Gauge" data for every player -- includes a comparison of performance in "all minutes" vs. "clutch minutes."
• Assist charts for the starting point guard of every team showing who the point guards assisted and what type of baskets they assisted.

Click here to see a PDF preview that contains a real example of each of the bullet points above. Click here to see the table of contents and definitions of the metrics included inside. 

The guide also includes cumulative data for points per steal, dunks, and And-1s to give a conference-wide look at how teams and players compared with one another. There is also a deeper breakdown of the clutch play of eight of the league's scoring studs. 

The metrics and analysis you will find inside this document can't be found anywhere else. It is being brought to you through late nights of pulling together values and figures that can be tracked only by tallying. And you can purchase it for just $4.50 using PayPal.

So what's in it for me? Well, if I've estimated reader interest appropriately, then the modest charge will be enough to cover my expenses for purchasing a live streaming account for this year's conference tournament and a domain name renewal. In exchange you get this wonderful guide that will allow you to one-up your friends, fellow fans, or future opponent with your knowledge of Summit League men's basketball. 

Thanks for reading!
