AI-Assisted Basketball Scheduling Decision Workflow

A staff-facing basketball scheduling workflow that turns messy NCAA data and selection-committee constraints into repeatable decision support.

Public-safe signals from the real workflow.

These are the outcome signals safe to show publicly. Internal strategy, staff notes, and private records stay out of the portfolio.

What proof does this case study show?

This case study shows AI implementation ability through workflow scoping, decision-support design, data validation, scenario comparison, and operator-ready briefing output.

Role fit

  • AI workflow implementation
  • Decision-support enablement
  • Operator-facing analytics adoption

Validation signals

  • Source checks before recommendation
  • Scenario comparison instead of one-shot output
  • Human review before staff use

The short version a hiring team should understand.

Messy workflow
Schedule decisions mixed public rankings, selection-committee incentives, opponent availability, staff preferences, and downside risk.
System designed
A repeatable decision workflow for comparing schedule scenarios, quadrant impact, resume strength, and staff-ready recommendations.
AI-assisted build
AI coding assistance helped implement and iterate dashboards, scripts, scenario tables, and briefing surfaces around the workflow I defined.
Validation
Recommendations were checked through source consistency, quadrant classification, scenario comparison, and human review before staff use.
Usage/adoption
Staff adopted the recommendations as part of real scheduling decision work.
Proof signal
Public-safe outcome signals after adopted recommendations include NCSOS 293 -> 59, NET 46 -> 9, WAB -0.76 -> +2.59, and Q1/Q2 record 0-2 -> 5-1.
Improve next
Add a stronger public-safe before/after artifact that shows the decision path without exposing internal strategy or targets.
Public boundary
The public version uses synthetic visuals and public outcome signals. It does not claim the workflow alone caused BYU's results.
What I owned

Problem definition, workflow design, evaluation criteria, source selection, validation, rollout, user feedback, adoption, and outcome framing.

What AI assisted with

Code, app structure, scripts, UI wiring, parsing, tests, and iteration support. I stayed accountable for whether the workflow was useful and honest.

Problem

Schedule planning was high stakes, data-heavy, and difficult to translate into repeatable staff decisions quickly.

What I Designed

Defined the scheduling problem, success criteria, data checks, briefing format, and adoption loop, then used AI coding assistance to help build and harden the dashboards and scripts.

Validation

Used scenario comparison, quadrant classification, source checks, and concise brief outputs so operators could review the recommendation instead of trusting a black box.

Public Handling

The public version uses synthetic visuals and avoids internal strategy, private data, and claims of sole engineering ownership.

What the public proof can show.

These artifacts make the workflow concrete while keeping private data, credentials, logs, internal strategy, and real customer/user records out of public view.

Synthetic decision memo

Fake opponent slate with quadrant impact, downside risk, and staff-ready recommendation language.

Scenario table

Public-safe example comparing neutral-site, road, and home-game tradeoffs without exposing internal targets.

Validation checklist

Quadrant classification, source consistency, NET/RPI sanity checks, and human review before use.

Public boundary

No internal scheduling strategy, private staff notes, or claims of sole engineering ownership.

Positioning note

This is operator-led AI implementation proof: workflow judgment, validation, rollout thinking, adoption, and AI-assisted build support where coding is involved.

Good fit for teams that need someone to turn high-stakes, messy operating decisions into AI-assisted workflows people can review and adopt.
