May 05, 2020 106: Joshua B. Miller (Associate Professor University of Melbourne) and the 'Hot Hand Fallacy'
Find Josh on twitter @jben0 and his papers at www.joshua-benjamin-miller.com
And you can find co-author Adam Sanjurjo's work at https://sites.google.com/site/adamangelsanjurjo/

I found Josh and Adam's work on streaks and how it pertains to basketball after looking for a rationale for the Sydney Kings substitutions.
During the Finals I started tallying the Kings substitutions and noting the patterns of them and then went looking for a possible reason as to why they were the way they were (30:39).
It was never a question posed to Coach Weaver in the press conferences.
What I found was a great study into getting 'on fire' and finding 'the hot hand' which I think related quite closely.
