Identical twin guards who take care of the ball & play seamlessly off each other. Smooth catch-and-shoot triples and lockdown defence.
Amazing 3 point shooting coach. Looks like your shooters tore that 2-3 zone up. How many were under a decent close out?

Been tracking "hustle" plays like Rick Pitino.

What happens when you keep track of how hard you play every quarter?
Chart the steals, blocks, loose ball dives, charges taken and deflections. If you're getting 12 or more per quarter you tend to win.
16U Girls AAU team struggling to defend dribble drive.
191/884 or 21% of all points scored against.
Stats showed us a problem to fix.
Cause? Poke and reach defenders hunting steals, but not moving their feet. Bigs slow to move into help allowing the drive to get to the hoop.
The math ain't mathin' on midrange when we tracked it for 34 Junior Girls games.
What application are you using to track this?
If my math is mathin' right here getting 1 touch and 1 reversal is 38% more PPP. There's got to be at least 8-10 points more per game if you can collapse the D and move the ball more.
Only two turnovers from these actions and neither related to the PT or the REV action.
The results were clear.
.81 PPP with no touches or reversals
1.125 PPP with 1 touch and 1 reversal.
1.5 PPP with 0 PT and 2 REV
Collapse the D and disorganize them with movement.
Like @brianmccormick.bsky.social says in his book SABA, get those Small Advantages to get Big Advantages.
Used a simple chart tracking 0-2 paint touches and 0-2 reversals, makes or misses and shot clock time taken.
Needed a way to track Paint Touches and Reversals, so I modified the Basketball on Paper shorthand by analytics wizard @deanolytics.bsky.social adding markers for PT and REV to track the 46 1/2 court possessions.
Now let's math this all up.
Sr. Girls HS Basketball and taking a look at the impact of paint touches and ball reversals on PPP (points per possession).
46/81 possessions were 1/2 court
42/63 points scored came from 1/2 court action
Are we more efficient scorers if we touch paint or move the ball? How to study this?
