Question on Brick Index

[martinezjose]

Dear all,

I have problems to find information regarding Brick Index. I have found the following formula:

BI = [(TS%league average - TS%player) * (FGA + (FTA*0.44))] / 40minutes

I would like to know if this is the correct formula proposed by Hollinger and if there are similar proposed indexes.

Thank you very much. Your reply will be highly helpful

Best
Jose

I can't confirm for sure without ESPN insider access but I think that is right.
