Episode notes
Sub Based On Performance Windows
- Use analytics to identify when players peak or decline in stretches and plan substitutions around those windows.
- Combine numbers with film to know exactly when to remove a player before they become a liability.
Stat Practice And Reward Winners
- Make practice competitive and measurable by declaring winners and losers in drills and tracking win-loss percentages for players.
- Use those practice metrics to inform game rotations and communicate playing-time decisions with facts.
Measure Blue-Collar Impact
- Chart off-ball effort plays (deflections, dives, rebounds) daily and show each player's 'blue collar' totals to reward non-stat sheet impact.
- Use that data to rank likely rotation players and remove ambiguity from coaches' decisions.
