Basketball: What Is the Problem?

Studies show that group solutions (crowdsourcing) are more effective than one individual's solution.

"Crowds are moving into the mainstream; even if you don’t take advantage of them, your competitors surely will."

Crowdsourcing isn't without issues including potential exposure of 'intellectual property'. Ego, overconfidence, and lack of experience with crowdsourcing may also interfere. The authors point out, "It exposes a problem to widely diverse individuals with varied skills, experience, and perspectives."

Diverse, distant opinions might overcome unwillingness to hear local voices. Anonymous expertise has no 'axe to grind' with local management. 

Excellent coaches have little to fear from outside input. Insecure coaches often fear any questioning of their methods. "Who are you to question me?"

Examples. What inputs could go into analysis? 
  • Season statistics (e.g. EFG%, rebounding and turnover percentage)
  • Game video (complete games)
  • Game video (selected highlights)
  • Breakdown of special situations (e.g. BOB, SLOB, ATO)
  • Study of close and late (e.g. two possession games, final four minutes)
Have you ever asked or been asked to help?
