Question1: Over the past decade, professional Basketball has devolved into an increasingly dysfunctional, sharply divided game of big-time haves and small-time have-nots. A few big market teams like the Melbourne Bulls and the Sydney Tigers leverage fat television contracts to acquire top talent at top salaries. Clubs in smaller cities with meagre budgets make do with what is left. This trend has not proven true for the Hobart Devils who have amassed the second-best win-loss record in the Australian league and more impressively has made money or broken even in five of the last six years. The reason for the teams success in the midst of so many others that fail is credited to its general manager Linda Kemp. Linda Kemp is a woman who knows how to do more with less. Linda relentlessly exploits market mismatches by mining data her rivals ignore and by scooping up assets that others have undervalued. Kemp realises that every player must be evaluated according to his long-term economic impact on the team. People who work with Kemp describe her as monomaniacal, ardent and controlling.
