Jesse, Do the people ay Synergy actually breakdown each game or is it some type of recognition software that is utilized? Somebody has to catalog the difference between "transition" and ice and roll type plays. Thanks.

Hey Jayhawks64 — Yes, Synergy hires people to log each game. Therefore, a lot is open to interpretation on whether something is a "pick and roll" or a "cut," but the data still gives a general feel and, more importantly, is indexed so teams can watch the video to judge for themselves what a player is best at.
There'll be more mention of this in Sunday's story, but someday the technology might be there for a computer program to code these plays itself, which would make the video available even quicker and (perhaps) be even more accurate than it being logged by hand.

Jesse, EXCELLENT article !!! I always wondered how the coaches and staff scout opponents, how previous games are broken down to highlight strengths/weaknesses, etc. Very interesting and well done !
