  • Optimizing End of Quarter Shot-Timing in the NBA: "Everyone Knows About the 2 for 1, but What About the 3 for 2?"
    Optimizing End Of Quarter Shot-Timing In The NBA: "Everyone Knows About The 2 For 1, But What About The 3 For 2?" Jesse Fischer B.S. Computer Engineering, University of Washington Senior Software Engineer, Amazon.com [email protected] www.tothemean.com Abstract Since the advent of the shot clock, the "2-for-1" has become a common end of quarter strategy in the NBA. With this approach, a team will strategically time their shot in hopes of ensuring a second possession while limiting their opponent to a single possession. Prior research has shown the effectiveness of the "2-for-1" strategy but no well-known public study has explored extending this strategy to "3-for-2" or beyond. This paper summarizes a study which: (1) analyzes the effects that possession timing has on behavior as well as outcome; (2) quantifies the cost-benefit tradeoff of strategically "timing a possession;" and (3) proposes the optimal possession timing strategy to maximize expected points (as opposed to simply possessions). The research reveals how to improve end of quarter behavior in the NBA by better understanding the math behind why, and when, a "2-for-1" is beneficial and suggests how to extend this further to a "3-for-2". Introduction The average value of a possession in the NBA is estimated at just over 1 point [1]. If a team is able to capture an extra possession in only half of those quarters, this could mean the difference between a team winning a game and potentially making the playoffs. The 2013-2014 Phoenix Suns are an example of a team where extra possessions could have made a big difference.

  • 25 Misunderstood Rules in High School Basketball
    25 Misunderstood Rules in High School Basketball 1. There is no 3-second count between the release of a shot and the control of a rebound, at which time a new count starts. 2. A player can go out of bounds, and return inbounds and be the first to touch the ball l! Comment: This is not the NFL. You can be the first to touch a ball if you were out of bounds. 3. There is no such thing as “over the back”. There must be contact resulting in advantage/disadvantage. Do not put a tall player at a disadvantage merely for being tall 4. “Reaching” is not a foul. There must be contact and the player with the ball must have been placed at a disadvantage. 5. A player can always recover his/her fumbled ball; a fumble is not a dribble, and any steps taken during recovery are not traveling, regardless of progress made and/or advantage gained! (Running while fumbling is not traveling!) Comment: You can fumble a pass, recover it and legally begin a dribble. This is not a double dribble. If the player bats the ball to the floor in a controlling fashion, picks the ball up, then begins to dribble, you now have a violation. 6. It is not possible for a player to travel while dribbling. 7. A high dribble is always legal provided the dribbler’s hand stays on top of the ball, and the ball does not come to rest in the dribblers’ hand. Comment: The key is whether or not the ball is at rest in the hand.

  • The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball
    The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball The objective of the offense in Basketball is accuracy of each attempted shot. Most players recognize this; but, only the better shooters learn how to practice correctly and work at improvement year round. Since most of this practice sessions are alone, every player must be his own critic. This means he\she must understand the proper mechanics that affect the success, or failure, of every shot. Every player must know his range and know what is a good shot. Therefore, before examining the techniques associated with the various shots, a good basketball player is expected to have in his arsenal, here are the principles at work in every scoring shot from anywhere on a basketball court. These are divided into two parts, the mental aspect and the physical aspect: 1. Mental. At no time is psychological conditioning more critical than when shooting the basketball in a game. Knowing when to shoot and being able to do it effectively under pressure distinguishes the great shooter from the ordinary. Regardless of how much he practices, or how well he conditions himself, only a modest amount of improvement is possible in speed, reflexes, or strength. History gives many examples of players able to achieve greatness despite mediocre physical talent. Usually, however, such successes are due to determination. a. Concentration: is the fixing of attention on the job at hand and is characteristic of every great athlete. Through continuous practice, good shooters develop their concentration to the extent that they are oblivious to every distraction. Ability to relax: is closely related to concentration.

    한국컴퓨터정보학회논문지 Journal of The Korea Society of Computer and Information Vol. 25 No. 7, pp. 135-142, July 2020 JKSCI https://doi.org/10.9708/jksci.2020.25.07.135 Analysis of different types of turnovers between winning and losing performances in men’s NCAA basketball 1)Doryung Han*, Mark Hawkins**, HyongJun Choi*** *Honorary principal professor, Major of Security secretary Studies Continuing Education Center, Kyonggi University, Seoul, Korea **Head coach, Performance Analysis of Sport, University of Wales, UK ***Associate Professor, Dept. of Physical Education (Performance Analysis in Sport), Dankook University, Yongin, Korea [Abstract] Basketball is a highly complex sport, analyses offensive and defensive rebounds, free throw percentages, minutes played and an efficiency rating. These statistics can have a large bearing and provide a lot of pressure on players as their every move can be analysed. Performance analysis in sport is a vital way of being able to track a team or individuals performance and more commonly used resource for player and team development. Discovering information such as this proves the importance of these types of analysis as with post competition video analysis a coach can reach a far more accurate analysis of the game leading to the ability to coach and correct the exact requirements of the team instead of their perceptions. A significant difference was found between winning and losing performances for different types of turnovers supporting current research that states that turnovers are not a valid predictor of match outcomes and that there is no specific type of turnover which can predict the outcome of a match as briefly mentioned in Curz and Tavares (1998).

    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Physical and Physiological Profiles of Aerobic and Anaerobic Capacities in Young Basketball Players David Mancha-Triguero 1,*, Javier García-Rubio 1 , Antonio Antúnez 2 and Sergio J. Ibáñez 1 1 Grupo GOERD, Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte, Universidad de Extremadura, 10071 Cáceres, Spain; [email protected] (J.G.-R.); [email protected] (S.J.I.) 2 Grupo GOERD, Facultad de Educación, Universidad de Extremadura, 06071 Badajoz, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 January 2020; Accepted: 18 February 2020; Published: 21 February 2020 Abstract: Current trends in the analysis of the physical fitness of athletes are based on subjecting the athlete to requirements similar to those found in competition. Regarding physical fitness, a thorough study of the capacities that affect the development of team sports in different ages and gender is required since the demands are not equivalent. The objective of this paper was to characterize the physical-physiological demands of athletes in an aerobic and anaerobic test specific to basketball players, as well as the evolution of the variables according to age and gender. The research was carried out in 149 players from different training categories (n = 103 male; n = 46 female). The athletes performed two field tests that evaluated both aerobic capacity and lactic anaerobic capacity. Each athlete was equipped with an inertial device during the tests. Sixteen variables (equal in both tests) were analyzed. Three of them evaluated technical-tactical aspects, four variables of objective internal load, six kinematic variables of objective external load (two related to distance and four related to accelerometry) and three neuromuscular variables of objective external load.

  • The Unseen Play the Game to Win 03/22/2017
    The Unseen Play the Game to Win 03/22/2017 Play the Game to Win What Rick Barry and the Atlanta Falcons can teach us about risk management “Something about the crowd transforms the way you think” – Malcolm Gladwell - Revisionist History With 4:45 remaining in Super Bowl LI, Matt Ryan, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback, threw a pass to Julio Jones who made an amazing catch. The play did not stand out because of the way the ball was thrown or the agility that Jones employed to make the catch, but due to the fact that the catch eas- ily put the Falcons in field goal range very late in the game. That reception should have been the play of the game, but it was not. Instead, Tom Brady walked off the field with the MVP trophy and the Patriots celebrated yet another Super Bowl victory. NBA basketball hall of famer Rick Barry shot close to 90% from the free throw line. What made him memorable was not just his free throw percentage or his hard fought play, but the way he shot the ball underhanded, “granny-style”, when taking free throws. Every basketball player, coach and fan clearly understands that the goal of a basketball game is to score the most points and win. Rick Bar- ry, however, was one of the very few that understood it does not matter how you win but most im- portantly if you win. The Atlanta Falcons crucial mistake and Rick Barry’s “granny” shooting style offer stark illustrations about how human beings guard their egos and at times do imprudent things in order to be viewed favorably by their peers and the public.
