Jeff Sagarin: the human sports rating system

By Ryan Corazza · Thursday, Feb. 2,2006 12:54 a.m.

Jeff Sagarin is unconventional. While most mathematicians use C++ and Microsoft Excel to work with algorithms, the Bloomington resident still uses Fortran, an MS-DOS based computer program he first learned in the fall of 1966 as an undergraduate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. But don't let the ancient computer program fool you -- what Sagarin creates within it is on the cutting edge of math in the sports world. "Real old guys like me -- we like Fortran and we're not going to change," said Sagarin, whose love for sports statistics started when he was a kid growing up in New York.

After two lackluster performances on the road last week, IU coach Mike Davis made the decision to rework his starting rotation. "We really didn't shake it up," Davis said. "We just played the guys that were going to give us a chance to win the basketball game."
