@PeregrineT49351@JamesSurowiecki@RaifYtinav@AddictedtoArg Based on personnel, overall scouting, and play scripting (preset the first 10 plays of the first drive based on film study of the opponent and what the team is good at). All of what I described is simply macro(Gradular strategy), while you are comparing micro. Apples to oranges.
@PeregrineT49351@JamesSurowiecki@RaifYtinav@AddictedtoArg Leaving this up to both sports is complex in there own ways, but to say JUST planning things ahead of time is simply underestimating what goes on at the macro level in American football. To be fair, both sides of the argument have done this, mostly because we don't understand 1/
@PeregrineT49351@JamesSurowiecki@RaifYtinav@AddictedtoArg The complexities and nuances of the sports we are arguing against. Ahead-of-time planning shouldn't be used as a reason to belittle the strategic complexity of football. Game planning is an important tool to allow coaches to determine how they would play against other teams 2/
@mrtomeoni@WishIKnewBall@PFF_William To get an edge over the competition, which I assume staff on NBA teams do the same as well, when it comes to finding innovative solutions to help solve problems in basketball. Once again, it's a balance; the usage of analytics doesn't negate the importance of the eyetest/film.
@mrtomeoni@WishIKnewBall@PFF_William They use the same data, but it comes down to having the correct personnel on staff who can interpret the data in a way that is beneficial to the coaches and players. Another thing, I'm pretty sure within the field of quant/finance, they still make their own models 1/2
@L0ngfellowDeed5@PaulSpacey@brianhgibson People who have these arguments don't realize that sports have their own form of complexities and nuances, and it's simply hard to compare them, saying one is "better" than the other.
