NBA-Foul-Analysis

Project relating to foul management in the NBA

Overview

This project was built from the idea that coaches in the NBA were pulling their star players too early if they became in foul trouble. Using methods like K-means clustering and the Poisson distribution, a better idea of foul management can give coaches the gameplan to optimize their players time on the court and put their team in a better spot to win.
