Basketball Reference

This is just an informational post.

For in-year, updated statistics, we have the usual suspects at Yahoo! and ESPN.

Some of us like to take an occasional stroll through the game's history, and when taking these strolls, it's helpful to have a resource that gives you all statistical information on every player, and every coach... ever. I get all this information at:

BASKETBALL REFERENCE

It's a great counterpart to its better-known older brother, baseballreference.com, but it serves the same great purpose. Feel free to check it out. I, for instance, am going to use it right now to figure out if Scott Skiles is the amazing coach this season with the Bulls would seem to indicate he is, and look through his careers W-L as a coach.

You could also use this site to look up his career statistics as a player, and see how insulting you think it is that Jason Kidd said of Skiles [whom he hates]: "He always wanted to be me, but he has no idea what it's like to be me." Skiles did have a pretty tidy "pure point guard" career of his own, you know.
