Whenever someone mentions AI taking notes for them, this is what pops into my head.

(and yes, I do feel a bit bad using AI to generate the image, but we’ve got to keep the man busy)

Manchester Have Found Their Identity When Manchester Basketball appointed Herman Mandole at the end of February, they weren’t just changing coachesβ€”they were searching for clarity. Up to that point, they’d been a team of interesting p…

Had fun after @courtvision.bsky.social challenged me to make Mcr shot heat maps before and after the coaching change. Under Mandole they are now taking β€œanalytically efficient” shots, almost all in the paint or from three-point-land.

For the collapse of the BBL, to the SLB getting and losing the men's pro licence, it's been a chaotic year.
