How Are the Best Programs Determined?
Programs profiled at CBSAguide must meet the
following minimum criteria:
1. Have a .650 (.625 for Division I teams) or better winning average record over the last eight
years.
2. Have had the same head coach for the previous four years.
Exceptions:
If a program satisfies the first but not the second criteria (i.e.,
program has a .650 or better record over the last
eight years but the new coach has been head coach for less than
four years) a program still qualifies if:
• The new head coach has at least four years of previous head
coaching experience in which the program under his/her direction
achieved a winning percentage of .650 (.625 for Division I) or better. (Previous
experience must have been immediately prior to appointment as
new head coach
and been at a four-year institution.)
• The
new head coach is the former assistant coach (same institution)
who spent a minimum of four years in
an assistant
capacity immediately prior to appointment.
• The
new head coach has a minimum of four years combined head coaching
and assistant coaching experience
at the same institution.
Who Decided What
Information Should be on the Profiles?
A focus group of
20 senior high school recruits (10 boys and 10 girls) was used to
help determine what kind of information was most important to
prospective basketball recruits.
What is the
Source of Information?
Information found in the profiles comes from a variety of sources, but primarily from
basketball media guides, athletic websites, sport information directors,
and NCAA or NAIA record books. After information is placed into a
draft profile, each school is requested to review and/or amend the
profile. The process followed in obtaining and displaying this
information was reviewed by the NCAA and NAIA and found
to comply with all applicable bylaws.
Are Profiles Regularly Updated?
Yes. Updates occur at least twice a year (Spring and
Fall) but schools may contact CBSAguide at any time to have
changes made to their profile. Programs must maintain the
above-stated criteria in order for their profiles to be updated annually.
However, at the discretion of CBSAguide, some programs
may be profiled even if they do not meet the above-stated criteria.
Are all Qualifying
Programs Profiled?
No. CBSAguide has spent considerable time researching programs
that meet the above criteria. We do not, however, claim to have
identified them all. If any institution believes it has been overlooked, please let
us know. We will make every effort to get your program added to
our site as quickly as possible.
