Mission and Primary Objectives of the Quest for the Ring

Before we state the mission and objectives it’s interesting to see how they developed:

A BRIEF EDITORIAL PLAN HISTORY
This site was born as of about January 1, 2007 as a Denver Nuggets fan site. Editorial Plan #1 was basically that reports were done for each Denver Nuggets game. In the first year or so, most articles were centered around particular games, although even back then some of the topics covered while the games were being reviewed were ones that transcend any individual game.

In those very early days, we didn't yet realize that understanding how basketball games are won is even more important to us than it is to most other fans and writers.

The game-based reports started out short and became longer and longer. More and more performance measures were added into the mix. The statistical measures and the text reports were all rolled into one, and these reports eventually exceeded 9,000 words in length, so these reports are most likely the longest reports based on NBA games ever produced!

During the course of the second year, 2008, we gradually decided that Plan #1 was too narrow, that being mostly a rose colored glasses wearing fan of a team was not going to be a productive enough way to spend time long term.

So we graduated from that in the summer and fall of 2008. For about 10 months, we had an editorial plan, "Plan #2," that was an expanded and modified version of the basic fan site concept.

The number of teams covered in detail was doubled to two. We phased out extensive game recapping in favor of more wide ranging team-based reports and in favor of reports even more focused on how games are won than they already were. We started to focus more on how playoff games are won as opposed to mere regular season games.

Plan #2 was considered "state of the art," but it turned out it didn't last very long! In May 2009, a huge editorial change was made. It was realized that resource limitations made it foolish to spend a lot of time on regular season games, especially since this site is focused like a laser on winning the whole thing: the NBA Championship. So we decided to plan to pour a far higher percentage of our production effort into NBA playoff games (including the Championship) then all other basketball sites do.

Meanwhile, as the editorial plan for reports has changed from time to time, the quantity and the quality of the statistical reports have been growing almost month by month. The primary, pre-formatted performance measurement reports can and generally do stand well alone (they are no longer attatched to text reports). But other, more freelance performance reporting is interwoven into the text articles.

For much more detail about "Plan #3," the current Site Editorial Plan, see this User Guide article. For details about exactly what types of reports are produced, see the User Guide article on "What we Produce and When".

MISSION OF THE QUEST:
First and foremost, the mission of this site is to investigate, to determine, to verify results, and then to reveal right here at this site exactly how basketball games are won and lost.

The specific League covered is the NBA of the USA. Two teams are picked for especially close coverage each year. Generally, the two teams closely covered will be the defending Champion and the team in the other Conference considered (as of October of eadh year) to be most likely to challenge the Champion for the ring.

This is the developmental site for Basketball Winning Inc., which is currently a completely non-profit organization. The scope of what we do has expanded exponentially, and so it is planned that the home page address will gradually become www.thequestforthering.blogspot.com during late 2009 or in 2010.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
As the name of our company implies, our mission, first and foremost, is to inform players, coaches, and managers about what they need to do if they want to become basketball winners. When you are a loser, basketball is nowhere near as fun and rewarding as it is when you are a winner. And you make a lot less money when you lose in basketball than when you win. So in other words our mission is really to make our readers winners.

MAJOR SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
Specific objectives are too numerous to list in full, but here are what the main specific objectives are:

1. To determine and report on how basketball games are won, specifically and in general, which is information that can be worth millions or at least thousands of dollars to NBA and other players, coaches, and managers. You can and we do fine tune our understanding of how and why games are won from breaking down each and every game that we report on. Game breakdowns, known as Ultimate Game Breakdowns, consist of Real Game Ratings and Real Player Ratings.

2. To determine and report on how the NBA teams are doing and why. The NBA teams are broken down and ranked via the Real Team Ratings. Also, two specific teams are covered in extensive detail. These teams are sliced and diced to the point where every substantial mistake or problem becomes public knowledge here. They go under the microscope so that we can see in enough detail what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong.

3. To determine and report on how well the NBA players are doing, which is reported in words and by using the Real Player Ratings, which can be produced just as easily for a player's career as they can be for a team.

4. To determine and report on why certain organizations such as the Lakers, the Celtics, and the Spurs, are so often to be found at or near the top of the standings, in the Conference finals and in rhw NBA Championship, whereas other organizations, such as the Nuggets, frequently drop down to become major losing teams, and seldom if ever reach the Conference finals or the Championship. In explaining why and proving the reasons, what we are really doing is giving advice to managers and coaches on how to keep their teams on the long term winning track. This information (assuming of course that it is correct) is worth millions of dollars, and could in theory be worth tens of millions of dollars.

What is the common denominator of all of these objectives? That is obvious: its how and why players, coaches, and franchises who win in basketball do so. If you know exactly how they do it, then you can do it too. The internet is where secrets are revealed, and here we have and will continue to reveal how and why the winners win in basketball.

You may be surprised about what the real factors are. Basketball, like life, is much more complicated than it seems. For example, you are a fool if you think that the truly best players, coaches, or managers always win. Having great players, coaches, and/or managers is necessary but not sufficient. And there is a lot more involved than "how good" the players are or "how hard" the players play. Also, you are a fool if you think the styles or personalities of players are among the important factors.

In order to win the Quest for the Ring, you don't have to be perfect, and you don't have to be better than everyone else in everything, but you do have to do a truly large number of things very well, with some of those things being unknown to most of the general public and to many players, coaches, and managers. Always remember, the Quest for the Ring Site is out to make the unknown the known for those who hang with us.

In summary, here, you will find out the true, verified, real factors that determine basketball winning and losing. We will relentlessly do research, study games, and verify findings until we have discovered and reported all of the factors, and have put those factors in the right order of importance.
