I've forgotten, does Pomeroy mean much of anything at this point?  I think he does pre-populate with something, but is it last season's results?  Or something else?

(Detroit's #2, so maybe it is something a bit meaningful.)

Anyhow, I think they'll mean a lot _more_ in three-four weeks.  And more yet when conference play gets going.

Also, I notice he's going pay!  Not for the main ratings page.  But, for details.  Not yet clear to me which details will cost $$.

Do you guys know Ken Pomeroy?  If not, here's a good starting point http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/home2/51551812-183/pomeroy-hayward-basketball-teams.html.csp
(Gordon Hayward and Brad Stevens know him)

He's had one of the best sites for basketball stats and computer predictions.  And, now his paywall's in full force.  It's a high wall!  His main ratings page is free, but it looks like everything else (schedules, stats, predictions, etc.) is pay.

$20/year.  So, if I have money to pay for basketball stats (some years yes, some years no), there's a new dilemma.  Does it go to Kyle Whelliston, or to Ken Pomeroy?

I'm still paying 20 bucks a year to Jerry Palm ;)

Has he not started for 2011-2012 yet?  Or maybe that's just the public pages?

I saw this the other day as well.  I like his stats, but not worth $20 for just looking at stats.

However, it really does leave me at a loss.  I need to find some other place to go for easy access to historical schedules, some rankings, etc.

realtimerpi.com has some of this, but the interface seems pretty painful...
