Another week, another top ten boxscores. This week we have double-doubles and triple-doubles by some familiar names.
Coach Art Rondeau joins the show to talk free throw shooting.
Another week another top ten boxscores. We have triple-doubles, good and bad! We have some career games from players young and old. And we have a few impressively bad games this week.
The Sloan Analytics conference took place last week. In the past I've attended and enjoyed myself. When it comes to recognizing the value of Sloan, it's important to ask what it is. I view Sloan as a "sports geek comic-con" like event. Lots of people with a similar interest going to a place to see big names talk. It's also a great networking event, if you're looking to get a job with a team or a major media outlet. What it is not is an academic conference, despite its tie to the MIT School (of business.) I examined the two papers that were selected as Sloan Research papers. Sadly, I found both underwhelming. I'll give some problems I had with both papers, and end with a discussion about what Sloan should be.
Another week, another podcast!
