State of the Media: Year in Sports 2010 WELCOME Welcome to Nielsen’s State of the Media: Year in Sports 2010, a compilation of media highlights, advertiser trends and consumer insights from across The Nielsen Company. Inside these pages you’ll find a wealth of information to provide you with an almanac of US sports fan consumption across leading sports properties in 2010. Nielsen is committed to providing our industry with the necessary tools and insights to stay on top of the constantly evolving sports media landscape, empowering the Sports Marketing community to leverage information that drives more effective decision-making. The last twelve months added up to one of the most exciting years in the sports media world; and as Americans flocked to TV, computer and mobile screens, Nielsen was there every step of the way: • Drew Brees leading the Saints to an inspiring Super Bowl XLIV victory that captured the hearts of New Orleans’ “Who Dat?” nation and American football fans overall. • A 2010 Winter Olympics that transformed relative unknowns like Lindsey Vonn, Ryan Miller and Evan Lysacek into household names. • The 2010 World Cup, which featured some dramatic heart-stopping moments by Team USA and introduced Americans to a new generation of worldwide soccer stars. • An NCAA Final Four championship that saw underdog Butler fall just an inch short of beating the heavily favored Duke. • Some new faces in the championship circle (Chicago Blackhawks, San Francisco Giants) and some more familiar ones as well (Jimmie Johnson, LA Lakers). Some of the biggest sports stories in 2010, though, were not about the success of teams and players on the field but rather about some players’ behavior off the field. “The Decision” by LeBron James to take his “talents to South Beach,” for example, drew a swirling controversy that kept social media users and TV pundits buzzing for months. Stars like Tiger Woods, Ben Roethlisberger, and Brett Favre also faced high-profile off-the-field challenges. But even as athletes like these fall, there are other sports figures that rise to the spotlight for all the right reasons. That’s why Nielsen is excited to feature its new Nielsen / E-Poll N-Score, which measures the brand impact of professional athletes and sports personalities. N-Scores allow advertisers to make smart marketing decisions on commercial endorsements and spokespersons. Now marketers can quantify Lindsey Vonn’s emergence as an Olympic superstar, or how Michael Vick’s comeback on the gridiron may help him rise from his previous off-field issues. We hope you enjoy these highlights from Nielsen’s vault of consumer and media insights. 2010 continued to prove that sports content, across all media platforms, is among the most popular and engaging genres and is well positioned to thrive in a rapidly evolving multi-screen world.

UCONN is all about rebounding & defense. Ball Screen Offensive is all about reading and countering the defense. Like playing motion, you read and react to the defense “Turnover, Don’t practice turnovers.” This is a favorite Lickliter comment during workouts. Terminology with the ball=Low and tight, below the knees. WING ON BALL SCREEN SCREENER/BIGS 1. Low and Wide is what they tell the screener. 2. Screeners back toward the paint/opposite sideline instead toward half court. Gives the ball handler a much better “angle” for driving. 3. Left foot is ON the three point line.

And soon to become, in marketing terms, "the Michael Jordan of college coaches," according to his agent, David Falk (who is, yes, Jordan's agent). Krzyzewski (pronounced sha-SHEF-ski) has been doing about 30 corporate speaking gigs a year for about $50,000 a pop. (He plans to cut back on the number of speeches while raising his fee to $100,000.) He is host of an annual conference at Duke's Fuqua School of Business. The university, in an unusual move, put its basketball coach's name on an academic center, the Fuqua/Coach K Center of Leadership & Ethics, and made Krzyzewski an "executive in residence" with the expectation that he will be able to become a professor whenever he stops coaching. In addition, Duke Corporate Education, which consults to businesses, has developed a program that uses Krzyzewski's methods as a teaching tool. PricewaterhouseCoopers has so far sent about 500 senior associates and managers — most of them "partners in the making," as they were described to me — to study Duke basketball in a "metaphoric context" to help them reach personal and professional goals. That irritating American Express commercial is blaring All of this is easy to ridicule because Krzyzewski is, again during the college basketball telecasts. The after all, a mere coach — and in some quarters, scrappy Polish guy from Chicago is standing in front of especially among rival fans in the bitterly competitive his bench, his feet firmly planted on the holy hardwood Atlantic Coast Conference, a reviled one.
