FastCompany reports that data Analytics has recently become a red-hot trend in professional sports. It's even spawned a Massachusetts Institute of Technology conference with sessions such as "Allocation and Dynamic Efficiency in NBA Decision Making." But the tools are too expensive for most high-school and small-college programs, leaving those teams out of the data revolution.
That's beginning to change, thanks to Krossover, a web startup that promises to have a broad impact on small-time sports. Krossover, which went live in late 2010, is making inexpensive analytics tools available over the web for basketball and lacrosse coaches at small colleges and high schools. It also offers players a way to study their games and create video highlight reels to post on Facebook or other sites. In March, ESPN tested Krossover at its National High School Invitational, with an eye toward a possible partnership.
