Every season starts with testing…
• Truck pads • Scoreboards • Is everything
patched & updated?
• Wi-Fi for Press • Internal Wi-Fi • Radio • Ticket Booths • Gate Scanning • Instant Replay • JTech for EOC

• Are the scorer’s table’s hardwires
and AP good?
• Is visiting radio connected?
• Is the printer for stats working?
• Is the EOC connected/JTech
functioning?
• Are press connecting?

Does Anyone See a Problem Here?
1. We have trucks connected to the network
2. Press connected to the network
3. Instant Replay connected to the network
4. Staff connected to the network
5. Specialized sports apps connected to the network
6. Emergency Operations on the network
7. Our ticket office on the network …

Possible Problems with Everyone on the Same Network
Networking Challenges
1. Guest could attempt to gain access to my file servers
2. They can “sniff” network traffic to glean information
3. Create man-in-the-middle attacks
4. Infect my computers with malware
5. Create mischief

IU’s current solution is to use VLANs.
Networking Challenges
Campus Networks has created Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) to isolate segments of the network. This limits the scope of damage that can done.
1. Building VLANs for staff
2. Scoreboard VLAN
3. Truck VLAN
4. Ticket Office VLAN
5. Press VLAN

Improving Dive Performance Through Data and Analytics
Diving
INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLOOMINGTON
Or … A Deep Dive into Dive Data
Diving
Terms • Dive number
Every dive has a unique number assigned by FINA (e.g. 301A, 201B). Each dive number corresponds to a degree of difficulty.
• Balk When a diver stops a dive after obviously beginning execution.
• Reps The number of times a diver practices a single dive.
• RedCap Survey tool used for gathering subject research data provided by UITS Research Computing.
• 10M Impact Restrictions on how often a diver should dive from a 10M platform.

Two primary data sources
Diving
RedCap survey data Sideline Scout data
INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLOOMINGTON
Sideline Scout allows us to capture video above and below water, and distribute it immediately to the student-athletes after practice over Wi-Fi.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLOOMINGTON
So we have the data
1. An intern exports the data from Sideline Scout and Redcap
2. Makes sure it’s “clean”
3. Uploads it to an in-house web site I wrote (https://athletics.Indiana.edu/Watson/)
4. Download the data set desired, then push it to IBM’s Watson.
5. Watson DEMO!

Diving
• Watson as, an end-user product, has been discontinued.
• We’re in the process of evaluating other data analytics products, but I can tell you what we were able to do:
• Predictive scoring – Drew got pretty good at guessing what divers would score based on training data
• Peak performance days – What day was likely to be a good day and train to hit those days on meets.
