Ken Pomeroy is the creator of a popular college basketball website and statistical archive, (kenpom.com ). His website includes his College Basketball Ratings, tempo-free statistics for every NCAA Men's Division I basketball team, with archives dating back to the 2003 season, as well as a blog about current college basketball. His work on tempo-based basketball statistics is compared by many to the work of Bill James in baseball. As of the spring of 2012, Pomeroy is also an instructor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Utah.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ken R Pomeroy - Teaching - Faculty Profile - The University of Utah )〕 Pomeroy has written articles in ''The New York Times'', ESPN.com, and ''Sports Illustrated''. He was a co-author of ''The 2008-09 College Basketball Prospectus'' and has been an author for the past four years. Pomeroy earned his undergraduate degree at Virginia Tech, and received a graduate degree in atmospheric science from Wyoming.〔The influence of topography on the California coastal jet: A case study Pomeroy, Kenneth R., Jr.. University of Wyoming, ProQuest, UMI Dissertations Publishing, 1999. EP20595.〕 He currently resides in Salt Lake City, and after working as a meteorologist for the U.S. government, he quit that job to focus full-time on his website.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NWS Cheyenne, WY: Office Staff )〕 He previously worked with the Houston Rockets, teaming up with noted user of sabermetrics, general manager Daryl Morey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Moneyball and the Houston Rockets « )〕 Pomeroy's website has helped explain basketball on a possession by possession level. His peers have taken to calling him "Doctor Po-Po."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Valley Ledger - Missouri Valley Conference - MVC - Men's Basketball Coverage )〕 As well as maintaining and calculating a variety of statistics on his website, including tempo-free statistics, Pomeroy also maintains data on non-numeric factors such as offensive and defensive style of play. One such measure that Pomeroy uses is called log5, a proprietary blend of data for projecting the likelihood of teams advancing in conference and national tournaments. The equations for Pomeroy's log5 projections were originally created by Bill James.〔http://web.williams.edu/go/math/sjmiller/public_html/103/Log5WonLoss_Paper.pdf〕 Throughout the season, Pomeroy continually updates his KenPom ratings for all 351 Division I men's basketball programs with metrics such as offensive and defensive efficiency, tempo, and pace. Although his site was more of a personal venture when it was founded, Pomeroy's research is used by numerous college basketball teams in an attempt to gain a competitive advantage. The accuracy of Pomeroy's rankings in predicting game outcomes has been noted by popular newspapers and blogs such as FiveThirtyEight, Mediaite, and The Wall Street Journal. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ken Pomeroy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
