"Flood Opposite"
As the video below shows, Coach Underwood talks about the importance of flooding the opposite side on the offensive glass.
@SynergySST New Player Tracking backs it up:
Illinois ranks No. 1 in the country at recovering its own missed 3s and sends 4 players to the glass more than any other team.

I really enjoyed hearing Bucks' coach Johnny Carpenter talk about spacing and decision making with Chris. Got me thinking, so I ran some queries and made this chart to describe the value of some of the options a player has when catching a kickout after a teammate drives.
Milwaukee Bucks head of player development Johnny Carpenter explains how CLA, offensive principles, advantage creation, decision-making and so much more, creates better player development than scripted repetitions.

We're adding pick pair leaders in our new college player tracking tools. Mostly interesting from the perspective of "what's working for us?" and "what do we need to be prepared for?". But I think there's also some useful information for draft (or transfer) work.

Damage Control
These teams were the most efficient defensively after committing a live-ball turnover on the offensive end.

Playmaking from the Screener Spot!
Among Division I teams that consistently used their screeners as passers, these were the leaders in Points Per Chance created—driven largely by playmaking out of the short roll

27.2 Picks per game vs. 53.8
Here’s something we haven’t really been able to measure before:
You ICE a ball screen. The coverage works. The offense gets out of the action and flows into something else
No shot. No turnover. Nothing traditionally gets credited to that Pick
But the Pick happened & the defense won the action
With @SynergySST New Player Tracking, we can now capture those Indirect Events.
Arizona shows 27.2 Direct Pick events/game.
Include every tracked Pick action and that number becomes 53.8 per game.
Nearly double the picture of what’s actually happening.
This is where Player Tracking starts changing how we evaluate the game.

"It’s very clear to me that for there to be more analytic developments, playing tracking needs to be involved. Analytics people need new inputs, and that can only really come from player tracking" - @EricFawcett_
Anyways apropos of nothing..... have I mentioned @SynergySST has NEW Player Tracking data
(60 of the most forward thinking, elite basketball minds AGREE & have already upgraded)

- 3FGA Closeout Defender Position (To Shooter's Left/Right/Behind)

Can he pass out of the Short Roll? No more manually tagging, thus saving countless hours in your evaluation or scout workflow. More new, fun stuff that coaches can play around using @SynergySST new Player Tracking.
