Credits

Over the years, this hobby has brought me in contact with many smart and generous people who have been a great help in producing the Massey Ratings. When giving credit, one always runs the risk of omission. With that in mind, here is an incomplete list of some of the sources, collaborators, and other individuals to whom I owe a debt of gratitude.

  • Tunc Gokmen - European league collaborator
  • Mark Hopkins - ranking theory
  • Jason Massey - my brother and sports nut who helps collect data
  • Stuart Mease - promoter, VT insider, and elementary school basketball teammate
  • High school contacts: Ned Freeman, Michelle Hillison, Ed McAllister, Barrett Murphy, Andy Rhinehart, Sheldon Shealor
  • Eugene Potemkin, Eduardo Sauceda - early collaboration on rating systems
  • Paul Reeths - helping MR partner with oursportscentral.com
