My overall impression of "Basketball Data Science" is that it's exactly the sort of book I would recommend to an instructor or able student of statistics in sport. Most of my criticisms are because it's not the book I imagine I would have written, not because the book isn't good.
Statistical education, publishing, sports analytics, and game theory - everything that makes math useful in real life. Now carbon negative!

Postmortems from 'Game Developer', a book review
"Postmortems
from 'Game Developer'", edited by Austin Grossman is a collection of
after-the-fact analyses of popular video games that had been recently developed
and sold. The analyses are all written by senior members of each game's
development team, and usually the game's head creator. "Postmortems"
was published in 2003, so the games being analyzed include Diablo 2, Age of
Empires, System Shock 2, and Black and White.
I
purchased my copy from a thrift store in 2016, which had a suggested Canadian
price of $42. This copy had several discount stickers on it, one of which had
the book for sale for $0.84, a 98% discount.
