March/April 2019 LifeStyle Indy 3 March/April 2019 LifeStyle Indy 3 Message from the Publisher Dear Reader, Thank you for reviewing this very first issue ofLifeStyle Indy magazine, formerly Indy BOOMER. Hopefully you will find this exciting new publication interesting and entertaining. My team and I are proud of what we accomplished in the eight years since Indy BOOMER was launched. During the past year, we realized the need to expand our audience with a fresh, new approach. We’re excited about the possibilities the future holds and the new opportunities that our expanded approach and readership will provide. LifeStyle Indy will continue to provide informative and engaging content focusing on a variety of topics ranging from health, technology, finance and cooking to lifestyle and more. Our readers naturally associated our former name with the Baby Boomer generation, and this will continue to be an important focus for us. However, we realize that the content we provided also is of interest to a much broader audience and should be shared with them. Our goal is to achieve the greatest impact on our community by providing informational and educational content that is not only a helpful resource but also enjoyable to you, our reader. We hope you enjoy this premier edition of LifeStyle Indy magazine as well as future issues, all packed with great content. And we’d also like to encourage you to check out the rest of the LifeStyle Indy media family: LifeStyle Indy TV, Radio and Digital. We invite you to visit our social media and digital products. Special thanks to all our readers as well as our viewers, listeners and followers. And of course, a big thank-you to our advertisers and supporters who financially back our media family. Appreciation also goes to our magazine writers, designer, and editor; television producers, hosts, and reporters; radio producer and host; and digital asset managers. Without their involvement and commitment, none of this would be possible.

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 4/1/21 CONTACT: Hawks Communications, (404) 878-3800 NATE MCMILLAN NAMED NBA EASTERN CONFERENCE COACH OF THE MONTH Interim Head Coach Led Hawks on an Eight-Game Winning Streak and Their Best Month Since January 2017 ATLANTA – Atlanta Hawks Interim Head Coach Nate McMillan was named Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for March, it was announced today by the NBA. McMillan, who was named interim head coach on March 1, led the Hawks to an 8-0 start to begin the month and became the first NBA coach to win his opening eight games after taking over in-season since 2003-04. The eight-game stretch of wins was Atlanta’s longest streak since the club won 19 straight from 12/27/14-1/31/15. The Hawks won five consecutive road games during the streak, their longest run of visiting victories since taking five in a row from 1/4/17- 1/16/17. Atlanta’s defense allowed the East’s two lowest single-game scores of the month, limiting Miami to 80 points on March 2 and holding Cleveland to 82 points on March 14. Overall, Atlanta allowed the NBA’s second-fewest points per game in March (105.7) and the East’s third-lowest FG% (.450). The Hawks posted the conference’s second-best point differential (+5.0) and the third-highest FG% differential (+.027). From March 13-18, the Hawks won four straight games by 12-or-more points, Atlanta’s longest streak of 12-point victories since winning four in a row from 12/5/14-12/10/14.

  • ATLANTA HAWKS NAME NATE Mcmillan HEAD COACH Mcmillan Led Hawks to 27-11 (.711) Record, Eastern Conference Finals Appearance As Interim Head Coach in 2020-21
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 7/8/21 CONTACT: Hawks Communications (404) 878-3800 ATLANTA HAWKS NAME NATE McMILLAN HEAD COACH McMillan Led Hawks to 27-11 (.711) Record, Eastern Conference Finals Appearance as Interim Head Coach in 2020-21 ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks today announced the hiring of Nate McMillan as the franchise’s 14th full-time head coach. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed. “The incredible job Nate did after taking over this season made this an easy decision,” said Hawks President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Travis Schlenk. “We were able to see how gifted a tactician, motivator and leader he is first-hand and the high level of respect and trust he earned from our players made securing him as our head coach our top priority.” “I would like to thank Tony, Jami and Travis for putting their faith in me and giving me the opportunity to serve as head coach. I am truly blessed to be able to lead this special group into the future,” McMillan said. “I believe what we accomplished this season is just the beginning of what we can achieve if we stay connected and committed to each other.” Named Atlanta’s interim head coach on March 1, 2021, McMillan, 56, led the Hawks to a 27-11 (.711) record over the remainder of the regular season, winning his first eight contests. Including postseason games, the Hawks recorded a 37- 19 mark (.661) under McMillan’s guidance. After leading the club to the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, McMillan and the Hawks topped the fourth-seeded New York Knicks in the First Round, 4-1, and took out the top-seeded Philadelphia 76ers in the Conference Semifinals, 4- 3.

  • Mike Krzyzewski with Jamei K
    The Gold Standard Building a World-Class Team Mike Krzyzewski With Jamei K. Spatola Notes by Bob Richey Chapter 1 – Time To Choose Your People • When deciding which individuals to select to form a team, you have to ask the hard questions: o Who Are we playing against? Will we bring together to face that competition? Do we represent? o What Are our particular challenges? Was missing in our recent loses? Is our motivation? o When Are we playing? Do we assemble to grow together as a unit? o Where Are we playing? Is our venue and what particular challenges does it present? o Why Was the old system not working? Do we care? o How Do we change a culture? Do we prepare to meet our challenge? Much time to we have to prepare? • Guys who play together can beat a group of all-stars on any given night. Team over talent. Collective identity over individual ego. We borrowed from international teams like Argentina and Spain the need for familiarity with one another and for continuity. • Jerry and I both believed that it was our current system that was flawed, not the players. This system was no longer conducive to winning. • For one thing, there is no substitute for talent. And while a great attitude and a solid game plan will take you far, you cannot achieve at the highest level without having some aptitude. • I also believe that a team needs some people with experience-veterans. • Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that your group doesn’t need a youthful element.
