When I have time I am going to run some basic numbers trying to predict the importance of each game and roughly the time it takes to pop. If more people could post data like I have it would increase the sample size and the accuracy.

That is fantastic data, but the only conclusive evidence I can see from your very tiny sample size is that pops take more than 1400 cumulative minutes.

Could it be that a player could gain more experience quality minutes if he hits a shot with under a minute to play in a tie game, verse a guy who hits a shot in the 2nd quarter with his team leading by 12?

I am thinking. Is the Divisions the players play affect their experience? I mean will a Naismith player gain more experience if he plays 1400 mins in Naismith than a player that plays 1400 mins in Canada III.2?

in this point i am pretty sure, and the answer is no.

NEXT QUESTION: Does Home court advantage play less of a role against a visiting experienced player ratrhter than a visiting non-experienced player.

AS in real life, experienced players have been in every arena many times so I would assume they would start to feel comfortable infront of the enemy crowd.

I've seen a statement supporting this somewhere. It would make sense as well. A player making clutch shots and *** BuzzerBeater*** shots gains more experience from making that shot. The player comes away with confidence and the ability to make such a shot again in the future. A player consistently missing these kinds of shots does not grow as quickly in experience.

I have doubts about it working this way simply because this would require far more complexity than its worth.

I also have doubt because it takes 1 second to take a clutch shot. So how would they calculate the "more valuable" time? I just don't think this is true, and as yet no one has been able to find any validation.

Disclaimer....this is only speculation....
I bet that the game value goes something like this...
.5 scrimmages
1.0 for normal league games
1.25...rival games and early cup games
1.5 for playoff games, sweet 16 cup games,
1.75...Finals, Cup finals, NT games

Like I said, I am just thinking here..
What does everyone else think?
