Now in it's 7th year, the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference (founded by our own Daryl Morey) will take place this Friday and Saturday here in Boston.

I wanted to create a thread to capture anything interesting (and Rockets-related) that comes out of the conference. So if you're going to the conference or following it closely online, please post here!

Some of you might remember that I managed to attend the conference last year and wrote up a post about some of the tidbits that came out of it: here. One rather interesting insight that came out of the conference last year was around Coach McHale's use of analytics, a story that Clutch followed-up on and which was picked up by Ball Don't Lie: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ba...210615682.html.

If you want to watch at home, there is a live stream for some of the panels. Check out the Sloan Conference website for more details: http://www.sloansportsconference.com/?page_id=477. If anything, I highly recommend you tune in (if you can) to the first panel at 9am ET tomorrow, "Revenge of the Nerds," featuring Daryl, Nate Silver, Mark Cuban and Michael Lewis.


These are the panels you can watch online live via webcast:

Its in the guise of a nerdfest but it mad corporate and
closed, so there's no real arena for the pure exchange
of new ideas and approaches
