Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
Who owns the team statistical data?

When the statistician ends his work and send the game analysis report: is the statistician owed a right to use the data for publication purposes ?

First of all, at the early stages of the season, and in order to eliminate doubt from the beginning of the statistical employment, a document of agreement between the basketball team's manager and the statistician certainly would make clear and more comprehensible each party's respective obligatory preconditions and rights.

If the agreement involves a total permission, we´ll have no any problems.

Now, when the statistician works for a basketball team, data ownership clearly belongs to them.

If it was agreed at the pre-season and contractually that the basketball team owns the data, and the statistician is partially allowed to use the data for publication purposes, obviously there is an obligation to hide the basketball team's and institution's identities to protect their rights to anonymity in accordance with this right of limited use.

In any case, the head coach and the manager should be informed of such intended use of data and supplied with a copy of the final written research.
