Thank you. I'll tell my sources:
1.
https://static.caasports.com/custompage ... OFSTRA.HTM and equivalent pages for every CAA team going back to 2005-2006. I have Hofstra's statistics downloaded from the NCAA for every season. The America East goes farther back than the CAA, so you can find our statistics from I think three seasons there easier than you can find it for our first four seasons in the CAA.
2.
https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/play-index/ is the College Basketball at Sports-Reference Play Index. Sports-Reference combined their play indexes into Stathead and made it much more expensive, but it's still worth it.
A lot of what I find is observing something in a box score that I think could be rare and using a play index to find out. I can link to where I search, but looking at box scores and knowing when to look for a rare event is a natural ability that can't be taught. In some cases, it helps to know how common it is to get at least X of Statistic Y.
Years ago I was cited several times by Jayson Stark when he worked for ESPN.
I tweet at twitter.com/EvanJ3535 and I am most active during MLB season. I made a Word file of 846 rare events ("rare events" is the term I made up) and counting in various sports going back to 2010, and I will e-mail it to anybody who wants it. It is 141 pages in Word with 1.5 spacing and one blank line after each event. You can search within the file for any team or term you want.
I love numbers. I wish I could make money with sports statistics working from home. I would never agree to finding rare events at a certain rate because I can't control how often they happen. I will not do a job that requires going to games (in general, not just because of the pandemic).
always appreciate our chats and your insight!
