UVA Basketball 2022-2023 Post Mortem Thread/Transfer out thread

I’m not sure if there’s published work on weighting the Four Factors (shooting, rebounding, turnovers, free throws), but Dean Oliver originally gave the weights as:

  • Shooting: 40%
  • Turnovers: 25%
  • Rebounding: 20%
  • Free Throws: 15%

There was a project that looked at NBA data going back to 2005: GitHub - PatrickJWalsh/NBA-Win-Predictor: Improving Oliver's Four Factor Model

Given the impact of each factor on wins, the following weights have been determined: 1. Shooting (45.59%) 2. Turnovers (24.36%) 3. Rebounding (17.71%) 4. Free Throws (12.34%)

Haven’t found anything related to college-specific data.
