El Análisis del Juego del Baloncesto
The game is over, the players give up the ball, but the coach goes on
with his work: the post-game analysis.
And here we are: working from the first minute after the game with our analysis
form, the video of the game (see Analysis by means of
Video ), and the stats sheet.

Registering the Data: We
analyze the game by recording separately collective and individual actions by means of
exclusive system of reusable codes. Out of the data registered at the stats sheet
(see The Box Score ), we analyze during the proper game observation the
following items:
About Shooting: Shooting distances
(from paint area, inside and outside 3 points arc; from left, center and right),
percentages, averages and accumulates from each position for the team, for each
player and for the opponent (see eBA Basketball
Statistics Analysis System Area ). |
About Rebounding: We determine effectiveness
rebounding percentage by our and opponent's 2nd. Chance Points and the relation
with the total of shoots taken (see Formulas). Fast Breaks
points created from our defensive rebound are another central indicative in our research.
About Assists: We determine effectiveness by comparing
the total number of Assists with the FGM. A great importance for us have the registering
of Received Assists, specially in the accumulated season reports.
A special chapter in our Method occupies our personal concept of "double
assist" and "fouled assist" (see eBA Basketball
Statistics Analysis System Area).
About Fast Breaks: They are registered with its source:
a rebound, a steal, or a quick opening play. With the same process, we
analyze the
opponent Fast break points. Both are season accumulated.
About Half Time: At half time, coaches study the stats
sheet before and after addressing their respective teams: who's being outplayed, who's got
the hot hand from three-point range and so on. Live Stats quantify the game at the
very right time but they never tell the whole story. Our Game Analysis qualify
the game through insider tips, by giving the coach other evidences packed with advanced
techniques:
- Throwing at first and last 8 seconds plays...
- Unforced errors...
- Ps off Turnovers and causes...
- 2nd. Chance points efficiency...
- Fast break points and sources..., and so on...
About the Rankings: The ranking and
ratio stats (see Basketball Statistics Glossary for references) have a tremendous
appeal to coaches and are very useful, specially at half time recess, but only if they
are based on absolutely true statistical data.
In our opinion, if there are a simple doubt about the data, its preferable not to use this
type of stats for a box score at a live game.
In another words, Ranking or Ratio Stats must be applied only at the post game analysis
work, particularly after the Video Analysis.
About Unforced Errors: Traveling, technical fouls,
bad passes or other TO, without opponent's intervention, are registered and accumulated separately
from the forced ones, for the team and for each player.
Steals and Turnovers are registered by its characteristic. See the classification at The ABC's
of the Basketball Analysis.
About Opponent Forced Errors: A central chapter of our
Analysis System is dedicated to analyze our defensive work.
Accordingly with our rule: ( see Turnovers and Steals
) "A steal cannot be credited unless a turnover has also been charged." we
think that every opponent TO must correspond with a personal Steal of any of
our players.
Traditional statistics in real time team-works, use excessively the option "Team
Player" ( see Basketball Statistics Glossary ); because of lack of time to determine
which player caused the opponent TO, or because of lack of knowledge about the game.
Traveling or a bad control outside ball of an opponent, are immediately registered as a
TO by the stats men during a game. But the Steal of our player causing directly the
walking or the outside ball by executing, for example, a good double team defense or a
quick footwork, not always is registered...
24/01/05 - After years of trying to find out how certain Basketball statistics (Field
Goals; Free Throws; Personal Fouls; Turnovers; 3 Pointers; Blocks and Steals) affect
winning percentage for a Basketball team, our conclusion is that while a rise in each
stat had some affect in the rise or fall of winning percentage, we could not determine a
single stat that had a direct affect on the dependent variable: the Winning Percentage. So
our results are more effective when we run the system on how the combination of all stats
affected winning percentage, however this would be obvious given the nature of our study:
the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System.
And here we are !
