STICKY -- APBR.org - the historians' discussion board

[rlee]

Not dead. Dean L. is aware of and working on the problem. I will check-in w/ him again today re: progress

[rlee]

Mike G (or anyone else here): Can you offer any assistance to Dean w/this?

[Mike G]

I don't know how any of it works.
The only clue that stands out is that after you posted on Aug. 14, there were no posts for 2 weeks. Then on Aug. 29, Robert Bradley put something on. And nothing since.

If you stopped your daily update because you were not able to log on, and yet Robert did, then what conditions allow him to do that?

[rlee]

I don't know. I hope to follow up with Dean L today. Feel free to contact him as well.

[rlee]

Mike, Haven't been able to reach Dean L. I am, of course, concerned about him. I do have a plan B for fixing the LogIn problem, tho, that I will work on today.

Stan Syckes is now working on the historians' forum issue. He will have an update (and maybe a fix) this weekend

[rlee]

Dean L reports that it has been repaired. Pls try it & report any difficulty. Thanks for your patience!

[Mike G]

I saw https://www.apbr.org/ worked and assumed underlying history forum worked... but I guess not.

DSMok1, do you have active communication channels, access and skills that could be applied?

[Crow]

Thanks very much to Dean Lavergne for hosting the APBRmetrics board on the APBR.org site all these years and getting it thru some crises.

Hello everyone,

I thought this might be of interest here.

We recently published an article on the historical development of basketball statistics, from the early box score tradition to contemporary analytics and AI:

*From the Box Score to Artificial Intelligence: A Historical and Analytical Journey Through Basketball Statistics (1891–Present)*
José Miguel Contreras García et al.
*The International Journal of the History of Sport*
DOI: 10.1080/09523367.2026.2647951
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10 ... 26.2647951

It was written out of the belief that numbers have been central to how basketball has been recorded, understood, and argued about over time. We know a piece like this can never be fully comprehensive, and that some important pioneers and contributions are inevitably missing, but we hope it can still serve as a useful attempt to bring part of that broader history together.

Thanks.
