How a timeout is actually spent
The huddle on television is the last fifteen seconds of it. The useful part happened before the coach arrived.

How a regional blackout works, and who it is actually protecting
A blackout is not a punishment and it is rarely about the arena being empty. It is a map problem, and the map was drawn before streaming existed.

What the shot clock did to the last two minutes of a basketball game
The clock was introduced to stop stalling. Its deepest effect was to turn the end of a close game into a counting problem.
Why the corner three is the cheapest shot on the floor
Same three points, shorter distance, better assist rate, worse rebound. The corner is a bargain with a bill attached.
What “drop” coverage is, and why big men quietly hate it
Two players screen, two players defend, and the whole possession turns on how far back one of them stands. This is the choice being made.

How a school team actually gets its floor time
One gym, one afternoon, and more teams than slots. The way that gets resolved explains more about youth basketball than any coaching argument.
What a high-school gym costs to keep open
Not what it cost to build. What it costs on an ordinary Tuesday in February, line by line, and which of those lines is the one that closes gyms.

Talking Points

What people mean when they call a player “system-proof”
It sounds like praise and it is usually a hedge. The phrase does real work in an argument — it moves the burden of proof.
The load-management argument, without the outrage
Two sides are answering two different questions and treating each other as liars. Separate the questions and the argument gets smaller and better.
“Clutch” is the hardest word in basketball argument
Everybody uses it, nobody defines it the same way twice, and the definition is where the entire disagreement actually lives.

How an equipment manager keeps a travelling team shod
Fifteen players, two shoe sizes of variance each, four cities in six days, and a bag that has to arrive before the plane does.

How a shot chart is built, zone by zone
A shot chart is not a photograph of where shots went. It is a set of decisions about where the floor is divided, and those decisions show.
Pace, possessions, and why a team’s totals lie to you
A team that scores more points than another team may be the worse offence. The reason is arithmetic, not opinion.
From plus-minus to net rating: what the newer number fixed, and what it lost
Raw plus-minus answers a question nobody asked. Net rating answers a better one. Neither tells you whether a player was good.
What a win-probability graphic is claiming, and what it is not
The curve on screen is not a prediction about this game. It is a statement about a pile of old games that looked like this one.
True shooting puts a three, a two and a free throw on one scale
Field-goal percentage treats a layup and a corner three as the same event. True shooting is the fix, and it is simpler than its name suggests.
Points per possession: what the number actually measures
Every modern basketball argument runs on one fraction, and almost nobody says out loud what goes in the denominator. Here is the whole of it.
