140 - Sloan Conference Buzz: NBA Playoff Tweaks, Tanking, Expansion, NCAA Future - a podcast by Blue Wire

NBA Math's Arjun Baradwaj (@arjunebug21) and Chris Crouse (CW_Crouse) join Hardwood Knocks to talk about everything they learned, saw and heard while attending the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. From NBA playoff realignment and tanking, to potential league expansion and team relocation, to legalized sportsbetting and Barack Obama's super-secret, yet-somehow-totally-public panel, Arjun and Chris come bearing big-time goodies.
Other topics include: potential tweaks to NBA free agency; future tools that could be at the disposal of head coaches; NBA G-Leauge expansion; compensation ideas for NCAA athletes; the need for more accessible analytics in women's sports; the plight of small-market teams; and so much freaking more.As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.
