They open with a discussion about how they all met and discuss Tony’s background as a coach. This includes discussion of how Tony proposed to his wife, which any IU fan will be able to appreciate.
Then they turn their attention to the strange marriage between coaching and analytics. How should analytics be used to analyze and improve a team’s performance? How are they actually used? How could they be used better?
Then they dive into Indiana’s incoming transfers and what IU fans should expect from the revamped roster.

Thanks for another good episode! So much to learn...especially, in this pod, about Tony. BTW, I was laughing at the State Farm reference near the beginning. “I bet she’s hideous.” 😆
