Jerry West doesn't see much value in Analytics

[Trojan 24]

Another L for analytics

Nah. Cacs created it as a means to weed out black folks from jobs in the nba after their careers. In the past it was former black players like Elgin Baylor getting front office jobs. Now they giving all the GMs that never played and are just cacs from MIT that study numbers.

They're trying to eradicate the utility of expertise in playing the game by making it seem like numbers is all you need.

You really wanna use Elgin Baylor

 

[Swagnificent]

You're white.

Yet you're the one supporting the cac agenda in this regard.

Analytics is being used to try and eliminate nba playing experience out of the calculus in getting a front office or coaching job in the nba. Since most former players are black, the analytics movements is directly damaging black people.

I don't care if he's white. He's on the right side of this fight. Analytics is anti-black.

MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Live: Bill Belichick Wins Lifetime Achievement Award 2013 Gala

Patriots use analytics, but Belichick dismisses analytics websites

Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked at his press conference on Friday about “advanced metric websites,” and Belichick, as he so often does, scoffed.

“You could take those advanced websites and metric them wherever you want,” Belichick said. “I don’t know. I have no idea. I’ve never looked at one. I don’t even care to look at one. I don’t care what they say. . . . . All the metric pages and all of that, I mean I have no idea. You’d need to ask that to a smarter coach than me.”

What Belichick did not say, however, is that the Patriots don’t use analytics. Belichick doesn’t talk about it publicly because he never gives any strategies away publicly, but he has long relied on analytics. One of his most trusted advisors is Ernie Adams, the Patriots’ football research director, who was a municipal bonds trader before he worked for Belichick, first in Cleveland and then in New England. Many of the methods that sports statistical analysts use are rooted in the same methods used to analyze economic data. Adams understands both, and that makes him valuable to Belichick.

Mysterious Ernie Adams is the Patriots’ man behind the curtain - The Boston Globe

Adams works up to 100 hours per week during the season. He studies film, devours statistics, reports on trends, and develops strategies on 2-point conversions, fourth-down attempts, and timeout preservations. He runs the vaunted Patriot “value chart,’’ helping Belichick on personnel decisions regarding free agents, trades, and the draft. He appears to be the voice inside Belichick’s head for 60 minutes every Sunday, but no one will say for sure.

You may not find a bigger believer in data and analytics than New England Patriots Owners Robert Kraft. Sold on the power of the combo, his company has spun off the team's data collection and analytics company to sell its services to any interested parties (with the team staying on as a customer).

She got off that analytic shyt quick as fukk cuz what Jerry just said doesn't fit the agenda......but it's truth, facts.....that shyt is just a way to get nerds jobs in professional sports and that ALL IT IS

I wouldnt agree in totality, they have their purpose and could be used to help players develop and refine their games, and also the staff with player tendencies and who's successful where etc. But yes I think it does it get outta hand, especially when they were used arbitrarily.
