@JacksonDavisTTU @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAnalysis Can you send a link to this sheet?!

🚨Player Role Finder in Excel🚨 Every player has a job. This helps you find it Rate every player from 1–5 in nine areas: Shooting, Finishing, Ball handling
Passing, Defense, Rebounding
Motor, Athleticism, and Size Example: A player receives a 5 in shooting and a 4 in defense, but only a 2 in rebounding. The sheet identifies them as: - Role: 3&D
- Best skill: Shooting
-Development area: Rebounding
- Overall score: 69
-Usage: Space the floor and guard the opponent’s best perimeter player Simple ratings become a clear role and an actual plan for how to use the player.

@BoomBoomDunham @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAnalysis DM I have an idea

@JacksonDavisTTU @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAnalysis Do you know of or have you looked into any iPad apps that have a tagging type capability? More to track - wouldn’t have video attached like sportscode…but have the ability to track some data as opposed to old school pen and paper.

🚨 Live Play Call Report 🚨 By halftime or even during a timeout we know which actions are working and which aren’t. Every play is tagged in Sportscode, and the report updates live to show: PPP – Which play is scoring the best Poss Count – How many times we’ve run it FG% – How efficiently we’re shooting from that play A simple way to see what’s working and make adjustments on the fly.

@BoomBoomDunham @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAnalysis I heard of something like that , I think the best way to do it is have an output window on your iPad as a extended desktop . But let me look into it .

The best analysts aren’t the ones who know the most formulas. They’re the ones who solve the most problems. Excel can be learned. Sportscode can be learned. Dashboards can be built. Knowing what coaches need that’s the skill. Your value isn’t in what you know. It’s in what you build that helps people win. @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAnalysis

🚨 High School Coaches: Start Tracking ORtg & DRtg 🚨 You don’t need expensive software. Just track: Points FGA FTA Offensive Rebounds Turnovers Then calculate: Possessions = FGA + (0.44 × FTA) − ORB + TO ORtg = Points ÷ Possessions × 100 DRtg = Points Allowed ÷ Opponent Possessions × 100 Now you’re measuring how efficiently your team scores and defendsnot just how many points are on the scoreboard. @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAnalysis

@JacksonDavisTTU @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAnalysis I feel like there are other use cases starting with this template. Care to share a copy? Great stuff coach!

🚨 Coaches/GA’s, if you do mail outs, this is for you! 🚨 Built a Monthly Mailout Calendar in Google Sheets to keep recruiting communication organized all year. The best part? Collapse each month to keep the sheet clean, then expand it whenever you need it. Each month includes: 📅 Send week 📬 Form of contact (Email, Handwritten, Mailer, etc.) 📝 Communication topic 🎓 Player class 👨‍👩‍👧 Who it’s going to (Parent, Coach, HS Coach) One place to plan every touchpoint, stay organized, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

🚨 You don’t need more data. You need better questions. Anyone can tell you who led the team in scoring. The better question is: Which actions created the highest PPP? Which lineup consistently won its minutes? What happened before every turnover? Which defender disrupted the most possessions? Analytics isn’t about collecting numbers. It’s about asking questions that lead to better coaching decisions. @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAnalysis

Couldn’t do it without @ShantaviaDawkin

Synergy is great and I use it too. The advantage is customization. You can track things Synergy doesn’t (or doesn’t track the way your staff wants), define your own labels, get live in-game reports, and build workflows around your team’s terminology. It’s less about replacing Synergy and more about answering questions unique to your program.

@JacksonDavisTTU @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAnalysis what is the advantage of using this vs. Synergy, where it codes all this automatically?

Just an idea on how you can track how effective an opponent’s actions/plays are against your defense in Excel with automatic stat updates after every game. During the game, have an assistant chart every possession from the bench Ball Screens, Post Ups, Transition, Handoffs, ISOs, BLOBs, and more. After the game, simply select the opponent and play type from the dropdowns. The dashboard automatically updates PPP allowed, FG%, eFG%, TO%, ORB%, play frequency, and more. No manual calculations. Just quick insights into which actions you’re defending well and which ones opponents are exploiting.

The best part of working in basketball? Every “What if…” turns into a new project. What if we tracked that? What if we automated it? What if coaches could see it live? That’s where some of the best ideas come from. @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAnalysis

🚨 Tracking Ball Reversals 🚨 Yesterday in film we kept talking about ball reversals. While running the computer, I kept thinking: How can we track this? So I built this Sportscode script: $reversals = count label "BALL REVERSAL" where row = "Texas Tech OFFENSE" show $reversals Now I can track reversals and that lets us see how often we are scoring after a ball reversal. Instead of saying, “we moved the ball well,” we can measure how many reversals it takes to break down a defense. @FastModel @HudlAnalysis @HudlHoops

🚨 If Your Sportscode Timeline Won’t Open, Read This🚨 Thought one of my timelines was corrupted after practice yesterday. Instead of telling the staff, “No film today,” I opened the .SCTimeline file and changed the file reference to match the .SCVideo name from my capture window that I set. Hit save. Reopened Sportscode. Everything worked. ✅ Sometimes the timeline isn’t corrupted it just can’t find the right video. That 30-second fix saved me the embarrassment of having no practice . @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAus

Best GA in the country !

🚨A VC should Think Like a Coach🚨 These are your opinion/philosophy posts. Examples: “Don’t automate reports. Automate decisions.” “The best analytics answer questions before they’re asked.” “Every stat should change a coaching decision.” These build your brand more than your knowledge. @FastModel @HudlAnalysis @HudlHoops

🚨Formula Friday #1: Effective Field Goal % (eFG%):eFG% = (FGM + 0.5 × 3PM) ÷ FGA 💡 Why it matters Not all made shots are equal. eFG% gives extra credit for made threes, making it a better measure of shooting efficiency than traditional FG%. 💻 Excel / Google Sheets =(FGM+(0.5*ThreePM))/FGA Example: =(B2+(0.5*C2))/D2 🎥 Sportscode $made2 = count "+2" $made3 = count "+3" $fgm = $made2 + $made3 $fga = count("+2" or "-2") + count("+3" or "-3") $efg = (($fgm + (0.5*$made3)) / $fga) * 100 show round($efg,1) + "%" @FastModel @HudlHoops @HudlAnalysis
