An eagle-eyed user recently noticed that the True Shooting Percentage calculation we were using in our college basketball box scores seemed to differ slightly from the method we spell out in our glossary. It turns out we were mistakenly using the FT constant we use for the pro game (.44) in our college box scores, rather than the .475 that we spell out in our glossary and that we use to calculate season and career-level data for players.

Thanks to help from Michael Caley of the Double Pivot Podcast, we are pleased to reintroduce Progressive Carries to the site.

Basketball Reference has tracked player call-ups and send-downs between the NBA and the G-League for many seasons. Given the lack of popularity of this feature (plus the time it takes to track these frequent transactions), we have decided to stop documenting these transactions and will be deleting all such transactions for 2022-23 from our database. We will still carry statistics for all G-League players.
