Always like hearing stuff from Tom — the mixture of source-based reporting and analytics is always a nice one to see, and all too rare (at least in the NBA world).
I knew that Kevin Arnovitz had a podcast about Top Chef, but I don't think I really understood what the premise of it was until I read this piece. Brining a sports journalist's eye and background to a highly competitive reality show is kinda a genius idea...
What amazes me is how important objective reporting is for NBA teams and their executives. A team researching and then raising this issue to the league office makes it seem like they have an "angle." Checks and balances for the win. Thank you for posting this!
Good insight, thank you

I have learned much from this.

Great insight, especially on the cat and mouse game that is aggregation and driving subscriptions.

Very weird that the NBA originally denied that there was any specific direction on foul calling.
Very insightful and informative, thank you!
