ABSTRACT
The opening session at the 2014 Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in Boston featured Bill James (hero of Chapter 7), Hall of Fame NBA coach George Karl, Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey, best-selling author Nate Silver, and Kevin Kelley. In case the name Kevin Kelley does not ring a bell, he is a high school football coach in Arkansas. His teams have won multiple state championships. Still puzzled by his star billing? Kevin Kelley is the Billy Beane of football.
