Head men’s basketball coach Mark Schmidt ranks 13th in the nation in NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) improvement, as calculated by Fox Sports.
Fox Sports’ Jason Belzer commends the work Schmidt has done in his feature Coaching Academics. It originally appeared on FoxSports.com on August 11, 2010.
Schmidt, who enters his fourth season at St. Bonaventure in 2010-11, is among the top coaches nationally in cumulative improvement of his team APR, a metric used by NCAA officials to track the academic achievement of Division I teams during each academic term. Each student-athlete earns one point for staying in school and one point for being academically eligible. A team’s total points are divided by points possible and multiplied by 1,000 to equal the team’s APR score.
As calculated by Fox Sports, Schmidt has increased the Bonnies’ team APR by a combined 126 points over the last three academic years for which data are available (2006-2009).
