Here is the audio from the Basketbal Panel at the 2013 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. The panel featured Stan Van Gundy, R.C. Buford, Kevin Pritchard, Mike Zarren, Zach Lowe, and was moderated by Pablo Torre. SVG was awesome once again on the panel and provided the counter point in terms of the use of analytics and how the need for communication of that data was way more important than the data itself. Enjoy!

One quick question with Dominic McGuire

I asked Dominic if he felt if there was any more he could have done during the Warriors loss to the Nets on Friday night. He said maybe grab some more offensive rebounds but that he wasn't sure until he watched the taped. I don't want you to listen to my question as much as I want you to listen to Dominic's tone. The guy was legitimately dejected about the loss & ou could tell was frustarted. Maybe I could have aked a better question because I didn't want it to come off as a "You cost us the...

Quick Interview Question with Jeff Van Gundy

So after the Basketball Panel, I took the opportunity amid the masses to ask Jeff Van Gundy how he thought Mark Jackson was doing as the coach for the Warriors.

Mark Jackson Post-Game Press Conference after Warriors...

After a pretty tough loss, I asked Mark Jackson if the last play run where Monta took a 3 to win the game was a set play where David Lee had the option to take shot or kick it back. Jackson said he was comfortable with Lee making a decision because Monta ended up with a good look. I don't necessarily know if the Warriors needed a 3 there with so much time but I was surprised that Lee didn't continue driving towards the basket. Some other interesting tidbits are in the post game so go ahead...
