recruitscoop is great.

sometimes the bad ones are ones I like the most. Like Neal Nieves and Greg Swaim. Terrible analysts/commenters/humans, but I can't get enough of their tweets.

recruitscoop does not eff around at all on twitter.  it's just scoop, after scoop after scoop.  he never promotes himself.  he rarely even promoted his charity basketball game.  and the great thing is, he infuriates every adult in the business while doing it.  

yeah, they hate the 16 year old with a goddam CHARITY BASKETBALL GAME TO HONOR HIS DEAD MOTHER.

He did promote himself when he was featured in both the wall street journal and 60 minutes or something within a week. Oh boy, did that piss off the recruitards.

ha, I came on to discuss this
_FAN, he's such a thin skinned baby, I don't know how you can deny that. I don't love Davis but he's absolutely right.  Pomeroy just invented beef, I don't know if it was for attention or because he's such a baby that he truly felt "attacked." Seth did nothing to the guy. Ken is no doubt brilliant but he has the greatest need for validation for any cbb media member ever.

For the most part, I’ve gotten out of the game of sparring with those critical of analytics. I’ve tried to channel my inner Whelliston with a personal mission statement along the lines of “If you don’t like what I do, just go away.” There are enough coaches and media folks using this stuff that the work has been validated, and I get much more enjoyment out of doing research and interacting with people that are interested in it than getting involved in tedious discussions. If the use of analytics somehow makes you enjoy the game less or you feel like it’s voodoo of some sort, no biggie. There’s room for all of us at the college hoops table. You do your thing, I’ll do mine.

(That said, if any coach or media-type unfamiliar with analytics is willing to meet me even a quarter of the way, I’ll gladly spend time trying to help you better understand what we do and how it will help you. I totally get that this stuff doesn’t come naturally to most people.)

(Oh, also, I know you’re saying “What about Goodman?” The thing is, while nobody would say he’s warmed up to analytics, he’s not truly an analytics-hater. Sparring with him doesn’t feel like work.)

However, I’d like to violate my new mission statement for a second.

What an insecure turd, just crunch numbers and shut up

I don't disagree with anything you said about Pomeroy. He's flat out a weird dude, no doubt about that. But so are Davis and DeCoursy.

The value of looking at advanced stats is clear, (and many national media still don't get it), but the weird egos of the advanced stats dudes is also clear.

Yes to all of the above. I love when DeCoursey gets all high pitched "Now ^wait^ just a minute Stephen I didn't say that"

Yeah, I frequently  :rolleyes: to Davis and Decoursy.  What's weird is that Davis frequently cites kenpom but Ken used Seth as his mark.  Goodman trashes Pomeroy personally on a frequent basis but Ken is too scared of Goodman to take him on.

Yeah, I find all of those interactions very entertaining. Twitter is great for this stuff.

There is a couple of NBA teams that have really bought in to the advanced stats, Morey in Houston is the best example but they haven't really won enough.  The NBA is still a league that is dominated by stars at the highest level and officiating has a lot to do with that, imo.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

On the topic; is any sports media type worse on twitter than DeCourcy? I suppose there is a reason he writes for the Sporting News.
