I thought this article by Assistant Coach Sam Patterson was pretty interesting. I wonder if tracking these stats was would be harder (if not impossible) at ORU as opposed to Baylor where close to every game was televised. 

Ten Stats that Every Coach Should Track

Quote

...Understanding your head coach and knowing what he or she values from his or her staff is an important part of being an effective assistant coach. There is usually a give-and-take when talking analytics within coaching staffs across the country.

Understanding what your head coach values will help determine which statistics are worth tracking, and which statistics are a useless waste of time. Finding ways to effectively utilize my time and come up with a workflow to save precious hours was one of the most valuable lessons I learned.

We took the time to chart all of these statistics during practice and games. Obviously, the sooner you can communicate the results to your players, the quicker and more effective their buy-in will be. Coach Drew has always believed that if he can emphasize a teaching point with a statistic to back up his claim, the easier it will be to get his message across to his players...

Every game is filmed regardless of the broadcast.  Even Juco and D2 games are available for analysis on synergy.  Many highschool programs have their games on their as well.

What surprised me is all the in-game advanced stats.  That has to be done by staff in real time.  Clearly you don't need film for that you just have assistants and/or GAs assigned to track certain stats.  Might as well put those guys to work!
