New Dean Oliver Podcast
Re: New Dean Oliver Podcast
I just listened to the podcast (thanks for doing & highlighting). It covered some ground more than others. I have some comments and questions, for the podcasters and / or guest. Maybe more about the other areas. I did not try to segregate and direct to just one party. Replies from any would be welcome, if inclined.
There was some discussion about the 4 factors but RAPM and RAPM factors did not come up from any party. That is a element I have a lot of interest in. Will it get treatment in the new book? Is "adjusted" data a tool with significant use & weight or not? Is raw data the primary or exclusive preference?
The range of innovation and use could be enormous. Usage of it at the different levels- offense / defense, factors, sub-factors, dozens of possible splits, alternative models, unit of study, quality / reliability / multi-collinearity, etc.
There was some talk about where / how players are good or not on defense. RAPM factors should be of some help. There are many splits possible- half-court / transition, splits by 2-4 areas of court, splits by position guarded (primary, initial and at time of play outcome), by defensive scheme, etc. Is that being developed / discussed?
There was no direct talk about lineup management. Is that telling of priorities? Discussion participants and teams in general? Will it be a major chapter?
'Coaches are busy, sometimes you take stuff to a specific player' (or I assume hold it, perhaps for later). Any thing(s) you think Coaches spend relatively too much time on? Or not enough?
Relatively new and very new or still untapped tracking data was not discussed. How big a deal is that in current practice and in the upcoming book?
