Episode notes
Eliminate Human Error With Data
- Bryan Hodgson treats human error as a core problem and uses data to reduce it across recruiting, in-game decisions, and player development.
- He runs lineup analyses and leverage metrics to make fact-based choices instead of relying on opinion.
Leverage Measures Net Impact
- Leverage measures how a player changes team performance on offense and defense and is separated by side of the ball for nuance.
- A player with great offensive leverage but poor defensive leverage can be an overall negative despite scoring well.
Sub Based On Performance Windows
- Use analytics to identify when players peak or decline in stretches and plan substitutions around those windows.
- Combine numbers with film to know exactly when to remove a player before they become a liability.
