How to get started? 

Post#1 » by sheefo13 » Fri Dec 5, 2014 9:07 pm

Hey everyone,

I am very interested in learning more about statistical analysis in basketball but finding all the information on the internet a bit overwhelming. What is the best way to up my learning? Understand different theories? Ideas? What are the best resources outside of basketballreference.com?

I know most folks here are pretty advanced but just want to know what is useful for everyone here.

Thanks!
