Of all the industries AI should replace that rarely get discussed: Sports Coaching

Why pay a coach $12 million a year when AI can do more efficient lineups, advanced metrics, all of the bullshite that humans fail at because of emotion or stubborness?
Xs and Os seem right for disruption. AI would be able to tell you when to call a timeout, when to go for two, all of that much faster and unbiased.
Yeah, there's the human motivation element but the stupid AI could even be trained to talk to the players how they respond best as a team and individually.

I do think AI should replace officiating for sports, especially football referees and baseball umpires.

You guys really just want to run head first into fricking everything up, huh?

Do you struggle with this dilemma personally?
Then why do you care?

Analytics have been used more and more for the past decade+

An AI can't provide the emotional side of sports. That is a big part of it.

AI cant do a press conference like , "Im a man im 40" or "We have a running game didnt you see the last play"
well worth the huge salary imo

The first team that does it will force the others to follow.

If you have an organization that is heavy in gathering metrics, AI can definitely replace that function. But if not, it has to get the data from somewhere. I wouldn't trust that.

And the sports have become more and more unwatchable.
I don't want slog for the sake of efficiency.
I want the best players giving it their all because there is something on the line worth fighting for.
Can't we just get back to that?
The human error is a big part of what makes it worth watching.

I can't wait for the first coach to use "well thats what the AI bot told me to do" when the team fails on a 4&2 on their own 44
hopefully that coach is forever shamed from the game

The fact that baseball (college and major league) has the technology to never miss a ball or a strike, without slowing the game down at all, and refuses to use it, makes me irrationally angry.

With today's tech, I'm surprised no one has developed a football that can be digitally tracked to determine its position on the field.

Sports have a human element. There’s more to being a coach than just calling plays, which is what AI could help improve.

I’d like to see a stat that shows all games lost because coaches follow analytics going for it on 4th down, never get it, giving up 3 points, and creating momentum changing turnovers.

If that were the case then the analytics would say not to go for it. Thats the entire point of analytics.

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding here.
The coach is not a sports technician. His job description does not read: "call good plays in order to score more than opposing team, win games".
The coach must deal with the owners, front office, recruiting, playing field, league management, the media...
