Talking Basketball & Joe Mazzulla's Quizlet account

[Kernewek]

In case you missed it, apparently someone found Joe Mazzulla's Quizlet account detailing player tendencies and sets to know from the last couple of years - essentially this appears to be an online flash card test aide.

Here's the original tweet

and here's a link to the compiled information:

Nothing particularly groundbreaking on the player side of things (Russell Westbrook, 'terrible shooter', Kuzma 'he is not passing'), but interesting insights into things that the now-head coach was keeping an eye on for things to stay sharp about, like San Antonio's tendency to repeat offensive sets after success more often than other teams.

I don't know what quizlet is.  Why would he have this as publicly accessible information?

I don't know what quizlet is.  Why would he have this as publicly accessible information?

Because people are bad at understanding privacy settings and/or Quizlet may not offer 'hidden'/non-indexable functionality?

I just found this on Google, for example:
https://quizlet.com/725279433/spt-3006-current-events-quiz-1-flash-cards/

And we can see that all of this user's sets of questions are easily accessible (presumably by default):

[edit: Also, word to any future head coaches looking for study tools that contain sensitive information, it's generally a bad idea to create a username that's your full name, like Joseph_Mazzulla with a profile picture of you and your family. If you need more details about anonymous accounts, ask Kevin Durant.]

Yeah, nothing super groundbreaking, like the CP3 notes of his obsession with snaking off PnR or his clock management skills, but interesting nonetheless. It's not an issue because it doesn't give any insights into how he wants us to play or anything like that.

Lots and lots of people can identify the strengths and weaknesses of NBA players. A much smaller % of that can translate that into successful coaching.
