Hope not: reasons JB/whole staff may get fired

[rrlbees]

I don't have time right now but almost every paragraph you state an incorrect fact. I'll correct you later this evening if someone else hasn't before that.

 

[jekelish]

You have just exposed yourself. Well done.

I'm just thankful he didn't include photos.

 

[Cuse Action]

Your entire post is a crock of circumstantial nonsense.

And btw, your posts about Rick Patino are absolute BS. You are a perfect example of why the internet can be dangerous. You act like you know something, when in reality you know nothing. I'm pleased that many posters here are aware of how full of it you are.

"Up until Rick/AO, most Cuse fans gave Fine very low grades as a big man coach and recruiter."

Hmmm. Must have done a bad job with Seikaly, Schayes and others before Rick and AO were ever out of elementary school.

Other oversights, speculative and flat incorrect statements that have been mentioned. Why would you try and build such a far out scenario?

 

[RealSUFan]

Maybe it's not just the whole staff that will be fired --maybe the whole school will close its doors for good? Or maybe everyone will be forced to evacuate the city of Syracuse because it is now a crime scene? I could even see that happening before the Eastern Michigan game.

* Fine had no credentials when JB hired him. All Bernie had was JB's friendship. If Bernie was, in fact, a homosexual team manager with reclusive, anti-social tendencies (as appears likely), it becomes difficult to explain why JB would hire him. How did these guys bond? What did Bernie do as team manager that stood out as special to JB? From a distance, people will assume the worst.

Maybe Fine was good as his job? How does anyone get hired?

Regarding JB being a "conspicuous bachelor" until 53, you do realize he was married before Juli and has kids from a previous marriage, right?

My mother used to work with Elaine a long time ago.

 

[jekelish]

Hey guys, here's a fun game: let's take half assed knowledge and wildly speculate!

 

[wfschrec]

Be careful guys he is putting all this in a JB database somewhere so he can try to call you out later ... using another non-sense argument ...

 

[fanfanclubclub]

He isn't an SU fan but a troll. It should be apparent by now. He lacks total knowledge of SU FB and BBall.

I went to Big Orange camp, and you idiots want to score "points" on me in a Bernie Fine thread, by pretending I am not a fan? Quit your idiocy.

During my adolescence (90s) JB was never around his ex Elaine. They were separated for quite some time and their child was adopted. I never realized they had been married so long. JB spent more than a handful of years as a conspicuous bachelor, whether de facto or de jure, and this was especially true during my time around the program. I merely thought the marriage was shorter than it was. So again, quit your idiocy, I didn't say anything inaccurate in my original post.

_________________________

It's so lame that each of you, Dash, Cuseman78, Wfschrec, and BlackKnight76, take every chance you get to make fun of my linear regression analysis. This post had nothing to do with stats, but you still take every shot you get. You guys are simply on a petty, Luddite vendetta because I embarrassed you about your Nassib and Scoop posts.

In about two months, I will announce my move into a pro sports front office: where I'll be able to help the Cuse in major ways, while you guys cling to your internet board zingers and lame fan forum territorialism. I'll still be using linear regression to critique players like Nassib and Scoop, and you will still be insulting Syracuse fans to make yourself feel less embarrassed. I'll make sure to announce all the particulars of how I'm going to help Syracuse from within a pro franchise, with tons of contact info and verifying information, before the end of February. Then you in particular, Dash, can tell me how I've exposed myself. Book it Dash, me and you, revisiting the issue of my fanhood, in less than 80 days. Until then, please, keep piling on by telling me how I'm not a fan and I know nothing about sports, that way I will have plenty of posts to embarrass you with when I am allowed to release the details of my job.

 

[jekelish]

You REALLY love the phrase linear regression, don't you. I think you've used it in about every thread you've posted in. Not a criticism, just an observation.

 

[fanfanclubclub]

Yes, in two months, I am going to do a two minute google search so that I can repost all of you guys doubting my fanhood and sports knowledge, exposing you as clueless Luddites when I am able to announce my new job.

For you guys to hijack a serious discussion of Bernie issues with this petty vendetta is absurd.

 

[fanfanclubclub]

You REALLY love the phrase linear regression, don't you. I think you've used it in about every thread you've posted in. Not a criticism, just an observation.

No, you are being disingenous, in an attempt to be clever. You are not making an honest observation, you are making a lame attempt at a criticism. So pathetic.

I didn't mention linear regression, CuseMan78 did. Instead, I posted about Bernie. You and Cuseman simply like to attack all of my posts. You know that Cuseman78 mentioned linear regression (not me) and I was merely responding to his attack: you are just being ridicuclous so you can carry out a petty vendetta.

I get it. You, Dash, Cuseman78, KingOtto, and WFschrec are all upset that I think Nassib and Scoop are ineffective, that I embarrassed you guys with some of my posts, and you don't like that I boast about my job and using advanced metrics. Duly noted.

 

[jekelish]

When you post, do you typically sit in a dark room, twirling your mustache and smirking about how we will all rue the day we crossed you?

I really was being sincere, I thought you had used it in every thread. If I'm remembering incorrectly and I'm associating someone else's posts with you, I apologize.

 

[fanfanclubclub]

No, I sit in my law office, or I am watching sports with my billionaire client.

I don't project absurd things about you, why do you need to project absurd fantasies on me? Does it make you feel better? I am sorry for making you feel stupid in previous posts. Let's get back to what is important.

 

[jekelish]

You've never made me feel stupid, primarily because I don't give half a about what to say. I was merely attempting to bring some levity.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Hey guys, here's a fun game: let's take half assed knowledge and wildly speculate!

We will call it "Schwarzing"!

 

[fanfanclubclub]

No you weren't. You and I have a history of back-and-forths, because you are in this small group of 5-8 posters who I offended in previous arguments.

Any person who read this thread, like you did, realizes that I didn't bring up LR, Cuseman78 did. I merely responded to his attack. I know your reading comprehension is sufficient to glean this information. You are just being disingenuous and petty, trying to score points with some bandwagon insults. Anyone who reads this thread can tell that you are being petty and disingenous, and now you are backing away feigning ignorance.

You aren't confused, you are just lousy at insults. Don't pretend you are trying to be funny. You and your small group of embarrassed Luddites go out of your way to attack almost all of my posts. "Levity," give me a break.

 

[jekelish]

You have no clue what your talking about. We have had, if I recall, one or two disagreements as it pertains to basketball. That's it. Unlike you, I don't carry vendettas and take the time (however little it may be) to look up old statements and take them personally.

Additionally, how does suggesting you've used the term "linear regression" more than once qualify as a "bandwagon insult" anyway?

 

[pearl31]

:blah:

 

[jekelish]

And how dare you suggest I'm not trying to be funny. Ask my wife, she'll attest to the fact that I'm ALWAYS trying to be funny.

"Advanced metrics"...I'm still chuckling at that one. Is that a term you came up with all on your own?

Funny how you never responded to my post (in the infamous Southerland thread) about your use of (multivariate?) regression and drawing proper statistical inference.

 

[FortyFourCT]

Is this the thread where I brag about my job and clients from behind an anonymous username, while using linear regression?

I didn't respond to your post because it was very stupid. Many people on here have been pretending they have statistical competence, simply because they took some courses in college. No I didn't invent the term "advanced metrics," I don't know why you are chuckling, pretty much all sports science boutiques use that phrase.

Most all modern statistical analysis in pro sports is done with linear regression, because the theorized relationships between the Y variable (usually wins) and the various X variables are typically modeled as linear relationships. Not curvilinear.

The distributions for most advanced metrics are normal, in response to those who are feigning expertise and suggesting alternative distributions. The only time curvilinear regressions are useful in sports analysis, generally, is when we are analyzing physical movement as a variable, like with UZR in baseball.

You guys are not asking good faith questions. No one who knows what they are talking about would suggest a curvilinear fit for an advanced metric like DVOA. The reason is this: many of the variables in sports are actually discrete and theoretical (an assist for example) as opposed to continuous and physical.

Instead, you guys are simply tossing around whatever phrases you can sort of remember from statistics class. You yourself posted whatever random and half baked concepts you could remember from stat class, garbling most of it as you tried to be clever. Your commentary wasn't a question, it wasn't a statement, it wasn't an argument, it wasn't an idea: you simply posted the statistical material you covered, as an amateur, in college. You cannot even articulate a cogent question about empirical sports analysis. Your question about multivariable regression proves that you don't have a clue. You said:

"I'm not sure what type of analysis fanfanclubclub was doing. He claims he uses 'linear regression'. There are several different types of regression methods, the simplest being linear. I actually like Multivariate Regression," - SeattleCuse

what a joke: all regressions are multivariate.

This is simply beyond clueless, you obviously don't understand that linear regression is multi-variable. Do you think I'm running regressions with a single explanatory variable? Haha, how insanely funny. Obviously, you are confused, and you think that "multivariate" regression is just one of several kinds of regression. You are laughably incorrect.

You are a perfect example of the Luddite posters critiquing me on linear regression at every chance: just faking knowledge so you can hurl blind insults. Why would I answer your other ridiculous questions, when it is obvious that you don't know linear regression at all? Do I really have to tell you what the response variables are? Wins and points.

And you are surprised I didn't respond to your other "super clever" questions? None of you are making serious inquiry into the process of analyzing sports empirically. If you guys remembered what heteroskedasticity was, you'd be asking me all sorts of nonsense questions about heteroskedasticity, simply because you happened to remember the word.

All and any of you who are pretending that linear regression is outdated (I heard someone pretend that LR was a 1970's statistic) are simply clueless. Nearly all modern hypothesis in the hard sciences are analyzed using LR, check with the National Academy of Sciences. It's not like you guys are PhD's asking honest and insightful questions.
