Comment on Offensive Efficiency Rating by jfwiii

If you really have an interest in using the formula, I recommend purchasing Dean Oliver's Basketball on Paper book—from what I remember, it's too complex to simply post here. Depending on the level of school, a college box score is enough to calculate it. Most D-I and D-II schools would be easy enough. It's been several years since I really did a lot of heavy basketball analysis, so the book is really your best resource for this sort of thing. The basic formula can also be found in the glossary here, but that probably won't get you very far.

Can you send me the formula for calculating ORtg for college players? Can you calculate using only box score data?
