Mixing the princes and the paupers: Pay and performance in the National Basketball Association
Get PDFWe investigate how team and individual performances of players in the National Basketball Association respond to variations in intra-team pay inequality. By breaking down team dispersion into conditional and expected components, we find that expected pay dispersion has a positive effect on team and individual performance. We find that team and individual performances are essentially orthogonal to conditional pay inequality, counter to the hypotheses of fairness and cohesion proposed in the literature both for sports and general occupations. A change in collective bargaining regime in 1996 had little impact on either team or player productivity

N.A.B.C. Resolution on the Hall of Fame (March 24, 1966)
No full textThe Board of Directors of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) published this document, “N.A.B.C. Resolution on the Hall of Fame,” on March 24, 1966. In the initial contract, the NABC agreed to pay all operation and maintenance expenses until the Hall of Fame became self-supporting, and they did so from July 1, 1963 to July 1, 1966. However, in this document they describe in detail their decision not to renew their agreement with the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, an action that meant the withdrawal of their significant financial support. First, the board members felt they could no longer obligate the organization for such an indefinite period of time. Second, they argued that after carrying the Hall of Fame to a point of fiscal sustainability, the NABC would become “just one of the many groups.” Thus, the other groups should share the operational expenses. Third, they felt the Hall of Fame was allowing too many people to enter for free, preventing it from becoming self-supporting. Finally, they claim the Hall of Fame had made no provision to furnish the inside of the building. The NABC ends the document with a long list of the fundraising goals accomplished by their Executive Secretary on behalf of the Hall of Fame.The Basketball Hall of Fame was first located on the campus of Springfield College, where several thousand visitors flocked to visit. In 1959, despite the absence of a physical structure to call home, the Basketball Hall of Fame was incorporated and its first class of inductees was announced. The institution officially opened its doors to the public on February 17, 1968
Do Fans Want Close Contests? A Test of the Uncertainty of Outcome Hypothesis in the National Basketball Association
Get PDFThe National Basketball Association claims to sell entertainment. Part of that entertainment is close, competitive contests with uncertain outcomes. However, hometown fans want the home team to win. Hence, the optimal probability that the home team wins a game, from the perspective of maximizing demand, lays somewhere between 0.5 and 1.0. Using data from individual games for the 2001-02 season, this optimal probability was estimated to be approximately 0.66. Fans want their home team to have about twice the chance to win a game as the visiting team.uncertainty of outcome; basketball; linear regression; home court advantage; demand; attendance

No full textThe 2019 National Basketball Strength and Conditioning Association (NBSCA) Performance Summit (PS) was held at Palmer House Hilton, Chicago, IL, May 19, 2019. With the largest contingent of strength and conditioning coaches, athletic trainers and sports coaches in attendance to date, the 2019 NBSCA PS was well represented across the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), National Basketball Association (NBA), and NBA G-League. With several delegates representing sports outside of basketball, there was significant interest in the theme of a multi-faceted approach to strength and conditioning in the professional team setting. In conjunction with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), this year’s event was live streamed for the first time with online participants from seven countries. This article provides a review of sessions presented at the 2019 NBSCA PS including strength and conditioning methods and coaching strategies, in-season strength programming, force plate assessment, injury prevention, and player monitoring
The production process in basketball: Empirical evidence from Spanish league
Get PDFThe main objective of this paper is to provide an empirical assessment of the production process in a basketball team. We estimate a logit model in which the output produced by a team is the game outcome (win or loss) and the inputs are those play characteristics that impact on that outcome. From the results obtained it is clear that, on average, there is a substantial difference between the impact of each play characteristic on a basketball team’s winning probability and that probability varies as the quality/quantity of the inputs used changes, albeit not proportionally.sports economics, team sport, professional basketball, productive process, logit model
