One of the reasons Tom Thibodeau wore out his welcome in Chicago was his alleged refusal to rest players and manage minutes. That’s why it comes as no surprise that Thibodeau had a simple message for Bulls management when they explored the idea of having players use wearable technology that helps monitor recovery — keep dreaming.
A recent feature from Ken Berger of CBSSports.com explains the idea behind technology that was created by a company called Catapult Sports. Catapult, an Australian company, has designed wearable devices that monitor how an athlete is moving. In theory, this would help determine if players are worn down and more susceptible to non-contact injuries.
