Obviously I will attend all of the basketball-related sessions . If you have any questions regarding basketball analytics that you would like me to ask on your behalf for the panels , please post here . I can't guarantee that all questions will be answered by the panels but we can have a discussion in this fine forum .

I will post a summary on this thread when I get back to Canada - probably Sunday or Monday .

Just shooting this question, not sure if you can ask this to the panel. Anyway, my question is: Who determines if a player should be a come off the bench (or sixth man) or should be in the starting five? Head coach alone? Coaching staff? Management?

Thanks & Enjoy your stay there!

Nice question , KL . It's common for the head coach get the 'final call' who gets to be the starters , bench players and their playing time . But they have series of deliberation with the GM , coach , assistants , scouts and statisticians in training camp on decisions like these .
