    Basketball Teams As Strategic Networks

    Basketball Teams as Strategic Networks Jennifer H. Fewell1,3*, Dieter Armbruster2,3, John Ingraham2, Alexander Petersen2, James S. Waters1 1 School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, United States of America, 2 School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, United States of America, 3 Center for Social Dynamics and Complexity, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, United States of America Abstract We asked how team dynamics can be captured in relation to function by considering games in the first round of the NBA 2010 play-offs as networks. Defining players as nodes and ball movements as links, we analyzed the network properties of degree centrality, clustering, entropy and flow centrality across teams and positions, to characterize the game from a network perspective and to determine whether we can assess differences in team offensive strategy by their network properties. The compiled network structure across teams reflected a fundamental attribute of basketball strategy. They primarily showed a centralized ball distribution pattern with the point guard in a leadership role. However, individual play- off teams showed variation in their relative involvement of other players/positions in ball distribution, reflected quantitatively by differences in clustering and degree centrality. We also characterized two potential alternate offensive strategies by associated variation in network structure: (1) whether teams consistently moved the ball towards their shooting specialists, measured as ‘‘uphill/downhill’’ flux, and (2) whether they distributed the ball in a way that reduced predictability, measured as team entropy. These network metrics quantified different aspects of team strategy, with no single metric wholly predictive of success.

  • Coach's Packet

    Coach's Packet

    MARLBOROUGH YOUTH BASEBALL ASSOCIATION MYBA 2012 COACHES PACKET 1 Fielding GROUND BALLS If you've ever been to a little league practice before, chances are that you've seen a variation on the following: the coach lines his players up, hits the ball to them, and the ones with some existing skill or innate talent do a good job... while the new player or the less talented athlete struggles. The coach tells them to "get in front of the ball," to "get their glove down," and to "keep the ball in front of them." And that's about the extent of it. Maybe this improves over the course of the season. Unfortunately, this is all too often not the case - instead, the lesser fielders get dropped into the outfield in an effort to minimize their liability to the team. As a result, they get less practice reps than the infielders, and if anything, the disparity between the skill level of infield and outfield widens further. Now, we’re not suggesting that you should place your weakest fielder at shortstop. What we’re suggesting is that you, as the coach, need to make sure that you give all of your players the tools they need in order to succeed. The best way you can do this is by emphasizing - and then consistently teaching - the fundamentals of baseball fielding. How many times have you seen a young player run after a pop-up with their glove extended as if they were expecting the ball to change direction in mid air and fall into the glove? Have you ever seen a player setup for a grounder by placing his/her glove firmly on the ground and then look shocked that the ball skipping by didn't go where it was supposed to? Why, because most kids are used to parents, coaches, and friends rolling or throwing the ball directly at them.

    GLOVE DON't BUY a BASEBALL GLOVE! Softball Players Require

    GLOVE DON’T BUY A BASEBALL GLOVE! Softball players require gloves that are slightly longer in length and deeper in the pocket than baseball gloves to help field the bigger ball. Keep these things in mind when buying a softball glove: • Youth gloves are smaller to help kids maintain control (avoid the urge to buy a bigger glove that she'll “grow into”) • Leather gloves are the preferred material • Buy a glove that is comfortable on the hand applicable to the size of the girl Division Glove Size Tee-Ball & 6U 9 – 11 inches 8U 10 – 11 inches 10U 10 ½ – 12 inches 12U/14U/16U 11 ½ – 13 inches CLEATS Baseball and/or softball shoes have one unique feature to look for that makes them different than soccer shoes: the toe cleat. Baseball shoes have a toe cleat at the very tip of the shoe that soccer shoes do not have. This helps players get better traction in quick starts where sudden movement occurs. EGSA requires all players to wear baseball/softball shoes with plastic cleats; however soccer shoes with plastic cleats may be worn. Metal cleats are not allowed by EGSA. SLIDING SHORTS Sliding shorts are worn underneath uniform shorts or pants and can give players the confidence to slide without the fear of getting injured. Although they are not required, EGSA recommends them for the 8U division and above. Sliding shorts can be purchased with heavy padding or little padding. KNEE GUARDS (sliders) Sliders provide extra protection when sliding and fielding. They are optional however EGSA recommends them for all divisions.

    Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: an Analytics Analysis

    1 Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: An Analytics Analysis An Honors Thesis by Jeremy Mertz Thesis Advisor Dr. Lawrence Judge Ball State University Muncie, Indiana July 2015 Expected Date of Graduation May 2015 1-' ,II L II/du, t,- i II/em' /.. 2 ?t; q ·7t./ 2 (11 S Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: An Analytics Analysis . Iv/If 7 Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to present a statistical model to help rank top National Basketball Association (NBA) players of all time. As the sport of basketball evolves, the debate on who is the greatest player of all-time in the NBA never seems to reach consensus. This ongoing debate can sometimes become emotional and personal, leading to arguments and in extreme cases resulting in violence and subsequent arrest. Creating a statistical model to rank players may also help coaches determine important variables for player development and aid in future approaches to the game via key data-driven performance indicators. However, computing this type of model is extremely difficult due to the many individual player statistics and achievements to consider, as well as the impact of changes to the game over time on individual player performance analysis. This study used linear regression to create an accurate model for the top 150 player rankings. The variables computed included: points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, win shares per 48 minutes, and number ofNBA championships won. The results revealed that points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, and NBA championships were all necessary for an accurate model and win shares per 48 minutes were not significant.
  • Improving Your Youth Basketball Team: Five Simple Skills by Brian Mccormick

    Improving Your Youth Basketball Team: Five Simple Skills by Brian Mccormick

    Improving Your Youth Basketball Team: Five Simple Skills by Brian McCormick As a basketball consultant and personal trainer, I work with numerous youth, high school and college basketball teams and players every year. At every practice, players are deficient in at least one of these five simple skills, ultimately decreasing the team's offensive efficiency. While none will automatically make someone a great basketball player or turn a team into a championship contender, every player must possess these skills so his/her team's offense runs smoothly. These are simple skills which can easily be introduced and reinforced through everyday drills that require little practice time. However, these skills must be emphasized. 1. Left-handed Lay-ups. At an "elite" camp last summer, a high school freshman informed me she did not have to practice using her right hand (she was left-handed) because her coach never put her on the right side of the floor. Every good player possesses the ability to use either right or left hand. I am not an old-school coach (like my father) who believes a player should always use the outside hand on the dribble or a lay-up. However, players must possess the ability to use either hand and must use the correct hand based on the situation. Watching Manu Ginobili and Steve Nash during the play-offs should only serve to reinforce the importance of ambidexterity around the basket. 2. The Box. Youth basketball's biggest detraction is the number of jump balls; while some see jump balls as great defense and hustle, many result from weak offensive play, and the constant barrage of whistles slows the game's tempo.
