We do this through a combination of analysis and by offering the largest, most user-friendly statistical database for basketball anywhere on the web.

Tom Haberstroh
Analyst
Age: 23
Location: Wethersfield, CT

Tom joined Hoopdata.com in November after working in Bristol, Conn. as a statistics consultant for ESPN for a year following his graduation from Wake Forest University in May of 2008 with a degree in economics. As ESPN.com Insider's primary researcher, Tom worked with ESPN's top writers on a daily basis to contribute premiere content and research for several online projects including Insider's NBA D.R.A.F.T. Initiative and NCAA Tournament predictor series Giant Killers. In addition to his researching duties, Tom tracked live statistics and provided in-game video analysis for ESPN Mobile, ESPN.com and ESPN live television platforms. His analytical work has also been featured in ESPN the Magazine.

Tom also has the dubious distinction of starting every basketball game of his senior year in high school and missing his only free throw attempt. In turn, he unofficially holds his school’s worst FTA/FGM ratio, not to mention lowest free throw percentage (.000 FT%). You can find him every morning at the local YMCA standing atop a puddle of tears behind the free throw line.

We'd also like to thank Joe Sill of Hoopnumbers.com for graciously giving us access to his stockpile of downloaded play-by-plays when we were first getting going.
