I’d be interested in seeing something like this to create winning game strategies that coaches can utilize.

There was a mainstream article written about the tech a while back, which had GIFs demonstrating simulations, but I failed to find it. Essentially, it would model what the players did versus what they should have done, optimally.

That is very cool. I was thinking something more macro where you can see the expected outcome based on different aspects of game strategies such as pace, mix of plays, etc.

I actually used to work for a company where we did exactly that. We did it based off of in game footage that we would stat and annotate it was a really interesting product. I think Second Spectrum does something similar now for pro basketball teams.
