Basketball's new Big Brother - Jun 15, 2009 | 16:11:01

Have you read about the cool new technology the NBA is using to quantify the play of its athletes? According to the New York Times, the NBA tested a high-tech tracking system, comprised of six high-definition cameras that track and document the movement of players. The cameras pull information into a database, which then assesses the movements on the court. During the finals, writes the Times, "The cross-angle cameras confirmed that a goaltending call on Orlando's Dwight Howard was accurate. When Howard blocked the shot by Andrew Bynum, the ball had already descended about 3 inches, according to the computers." How cool is that!?!

As an educator, umpire/official, ex college/professional athlete, and past coach I believe it is our top job to guarentee our athletes recognize it is education first and athletic success second.
