However, this suggestion presents unique challenges, as noted by Watson (2005), who conducted comparative research of…”

“…Additionally, educators should not consider life skills and career development services optional; rather they must regard them as necessary to assist ISAs with cultural adjustment issues as well as the possible end of an athletic career and the subsequent transition into a nonsport occupation (Carodine et al, 2001;Chartrand & Lent, 1987;Clark & Parette, 2002;Popp et al, 2011;Watson, 2005).

Through an extensive literature review, student–athlete college transition issues as well as concerns of international student-athletes are identified. Research on general student advising, developmental advising, and mentoring literature points to successful tactics for assisting domestic students, international students, and student-athletes through the transition to college life. This review culminates in a table that combines findings from previous studies into a set of suggested practices for academic advisors working with international student-athletes. Advisors can use this research to support international student-athletes during recruitment and throughout their collegiate career.

“…Morse et al (2008) examine through a regression equation the effects of roster turnover on season attendance in the NBA, over a five-year period (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005). Popp et al (2011) admit that player recruitment is both intense and expensive as coaches must recognize talent at an early age and from a broad geographic range. In their study they try to determine which factors are the most influential when international student-athletes choose to attend US universities.…”

Management practices may be based either on manager's intuition or on analytical and objective reasoning. Sports and, particularly, basketball can be considered as an indicative field where these differences in decision-making can be met. This paper has been motivated by the statistical analysis that the author conducted in the past in order to support the management of a Greek basketball team and specifically the decision-making process of its coach regarding the team's strategy during its games. The aim of the paper is on the one hand to present some indicative, simple ideas for the statistical analysis of basketball data, and on the other hand to show that any basketball team can improve significantly its decision-making process if it chooses to be statistically supported. Basketball data is numerous; consequently its elaboration can be extensive and fruitful.
