How much of this is data-driven? I mean, every shot can (in theory) be digitally logged and analyzed. Is there anyone doing a Moneyball-style player performance

  Data is getting to be a bigger component, but that was driven primarily by esports betting (another area I've had some experience in, coincidentally). Data, in general, is under-utilized by almost everyone and the few 'real' data folks I've met have the habit of missing the forest for the trees (there's not exactly a tremendous wealth of coaching experience in esports, so the number of folks who could do the coaching and implement/build new tools for that purpose is near-zero). It's pretty hard to go straight from DATA -> ACTIONABLE COACHING DECISIONS It's much easier to go from COACHES INTUITION + SUPPORTING DATA -> COACHING DECISION I'm not aware of any other coach (but there probably is some) that has the technical skills to build the kind of tools that would be required. Bear in mind, most games don't actually give you all the data you'd want to look at. That said, there were a few folks who made a killing in esports betting for a while.
