Sumerian was easily the most useful thing I studied in school (not a joke). This influenced a lot about how I think about hard problems.
In my favorite panel at the Women in Sports Data symposium, each of the panelists described how she took an unusual path to sports. But after surveying the resumes of 200 current or former (W)NBA analytics staffers, I'm convinced there is really no such thing as the ~usual~ path.

Recently found this thought from @Nick_Sciria saved in my notes from years ago. I remember being immediately challenged when I read it. Hopefully it can serve as a good reminder for those currently leading teams!

I love that stuff. Coaching and teaching is fun. Deliver the information, empower and believe in your players. As a player, take the information and get right back after it. It comes together.

A few plays later the Suns run pick and roll again. Davis is the low man again. Look at where his early help is. Right there in position, ends up taking a charge. Daps all around.

Mike Brown immediately calls timeout and he lets Davis know where he should have been. But instead of a total back and forth *shows* him where he needed to be on the court. Stick with me.

Little things for the Kings defense, just have to build their help early. Davis is the low man his job is to help on the roll. In early but he sinks with the drive which opens the roll for Ayton. Stick with me.

2/ Football simulations feel obscure and niche-y but they are really just another symptom of some bigger issues - uncertainty, overconfidence, and the mixed blessing of models.

Vince Rozman is incredible. He’s also a hidden gem because he deflects credit so graciously. He’s *great* -with people -at evaluating talent -at systems -as a communicator The Thunder made a brilliant hire. At some point soon someone really smart is going to hand him the keys.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are hiring Philadelphia 76ers executive Vince Rozman in scouting as VP of Identification and Intelligence, sources tell ESPN. Rozman worked his way up in Philadelphia from intern to a VP role over 15-plus years.

The Nekias & Steve stream is giving me big manningcast vibes with comedy & actually teaching & breaking down the game. **whispers (more like yells)** the NBA needs to do this more & not just for summer league.
