NBA Expands Use of Live Video on the Bench
The Trail Blazers have been using video on the sideline for years now, loading play onto iPads during games in order to allow players to review plays from the bench. But to do that, the team would have to record the video in the locker room, cut together clips, load those onto an iPad, then take that iPad to the bench for the player to use. It's a bit of a clunky process, though that hasn't stopped the team's from utilizing the video nonetheless.
But new NBA rules go into effect this season that allow teams to capture live video on the bench, which has the capacity to allow both players and coaches to review game footage in a much more streamlined fashion. While Terry Stotts said he's not entirely sure how the team will best utilize the new rules, he plans on using the exhibition schedule to tinker with the process.
"I think we're going to use the seven preseason games to see what benefits we can use it for," said Stotts. "It's new to everybody. We want to play around with it in preseason and just kind of see where it takes us."
