Is the NBA draft lottery rigged to reward losing? Veteran NBA insider Ric Bucher sits down with Dr. TJ Highley, Associate Professor of Math & Computer Science at LaSalle University, who has developed a groundbreaking anti-tanking formula that could change the NBA forever — and it doesn't involve eliminating the draft.Highley's COLA (Carryover Lottery Allocation) system strips tanking of its incentive by rewarding playoff history instead of regular season losses. Teams would accumulate lottery tickets over time based on sustained failure — not deliberate losing — making intentional tanking mathematically pointless.But Bucher pushes back with 30 years of hard-won NBA knowledge: not every owner wants to win. Some — following the Donald Sterling playbook — are perfectly content selling hope while pocketing profits. Can any formula fix that?Plus: Bucher delivers a candid reassessment of the Denver Nuggets title chances and why the Michael Porter Jr. trade may have cost them more than anyone realized — rebounding. And a sharp takedown of the analytics crowd that thinks they've cracked the code on building a championship team.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Intro & Book Announcement 02:02 — Meet Dr. TJ Highley: The Math Professor Trying to Fix NBA Tanking 03:31 — His NBA Fandom: Spurs to Sixers & "The Process" 05:21 — COLA Explained: How Playoff History Replaces Regular Season Records 07:57 — Has Any NBA Insider Reviewed This System? 09:59 — Simple COLA: A Brand-New Version Revealed for the First Time 13:35 — Should the NBA Abolish the Draft?

When the threshold of 55% blocks signaling for bip110 in a single window (2016 blocks) has not been reached, any block that is not signaling for BIP110 after August 1st will be rejected by the activation client, basically splitting themself of, or even coming to a complete halt if there's no hashpower.

Post-Gazette Pitt insider Stephen Thompson breaks down the Panthers' 80-76 OT win over Wake Forest on Tuesday night. This show is presented by FanDuel. How were the Panthers able to outlast the Demon Deacons? What did Roman Siulepa show with his continued dominance on the boards? How was Pitt able to cover up a bad shooting night with an ability to force and score off of turnovers? Can Omari Witherspoon help them in the clutch going forward? Was this another step in the right direction for Macari Moore? And how will the development of those young players determine Jeff Capel's job security for next season?

https://teachhoops.com/ WIN THE SEASON In the heart of January, the focus of scouting shifts from general team identity to the granular details that win conference championships. By this point in the season, teams have established their core rotations and preferred offensive sets, making it the ideal time to build a "book" on opponent tendencies. Coaches should prioritize identifying not just who the best players are, but what those players prefer to do in high-pressure situations—such as whether a lead guard always drives right or if the primary shooter only hunts catches in the corners. Transitioning from non-conference play to the grind of the conference schedule requires this elevated level of preparation to ensure your team isn't surprised by familiar foes. A critical component of mid-season scouting is the "Crunch Time" analysis. By January, every team has a go-to action they fall back on when the game is on the line. As a coach, your scouting report must deconstruct these late-game patterns: does the opponent run a specific continuity ball screen, or do they look for a clear-out isolation for their leading scorer? Understanding these "must-have" plays allows you to implement specific defensive "kills" during practice. Instead of just scouting the system, you are scouting the execution under stress, which provides your players with the confidence needed to execute a game-winning stop when the standings are at stake. Finally, January scouting is about the balance between live observation and deep film study. While film provides the data, live scouting allows you to see the "bench energy," how a coach communicates with their players during timeouts, and the physical demeanor of a team when they are trailing. Use this month to refine your scouting workflow by involving your assistants in specialized breakdowns—one focusing on individual personnel while another dissects out-of-bounds plays and special situations. This comprehensive approach ensures that by the time the post-season tournament arrives, your team is the most prepared group on the floor, having already seen and solved the opponent's best looks.
