Foul-shooting Home Side advantage

By Tangotiger

Phil is proposing that we should be able to see a home advantage if you look at individual players, and weight their home and road splits equally.

Kobe for example has and .841/.831 split. Rather than weighting that by how often he has a free throw attempt, you weight them equally. So, Phil, you’ve got some work ahead of you! You can email Justin, and I think he may be open to giving you career data like this.
