1. Analyze Your Team’s Patterns

Team Page: Overall

The Team Overall tab of the Team Site offers a comprehensive synopsis of your team’s analytics. For example, the Bentonville Tigers (AR) boys’ basketball team utilizes this feature to get an overall performance summary. Coaches can filter data at the top to view specifics like shooting stats or navigate to tabs such as Play Types or Shot Types for in-depth analysis. The PPP Rank provides percentile rankings, linking directly to leaderboard pages to compare against top teams

Coaching Tips:

• Separate Feelings from Facts: Review data rather than intuition to evaluate your team’s strengths and weaknesses.
• Draw Inspiration: View top-performing teams’ films for ideas and inspiration.

Advanced Analytics Application: Multi-Game Shot Chart

The Multi Game Shot Chart (MGSC) allows coaches to filter and analyze data across multiple games. For instance, you can focus on the 4th quarter shots from Bentonville Tigers’ last five games. The interactive shot chart updates in real time as filters are applied.

Coaching Tips:

• Evaluate Shots: Determine where your shots are coming from in critical game situations.
• Analyze Execution: Assess whether players executed the game plan or allowed the other team to dictate shot selection.

2. Improving Team Skills Through Enhanced Performance Tracking

Team Site Game Breakdown: Shot Chart Tab

The Shot Chart Tab on the Team Site offers a detailed view of shot selection, highlighting high and low Synergy Shot Quality (SSQ) shots. Easily access the film of each shot to review player decisions and opponent defense.

Coaching Tips:

• Evaluate Shot Quality: Understand what leads to low-quality shots and make necessary adjustments.
• Assess Defensive Lapses: Identify and address defensive issues allowing opponents’ high-quality shots.

Synergy Max Editor Tagging and Mobile App

Using the Synergy Max Editor, coaches can create custom tagging templates to chart metrics such as hustle stats. The interactive Matrix view offers dynamic cross-referencing, while the mobile app delivers this data directly to players.

Coaching Tips:

• Custom Tags: Chart and evaluate any critical behavior or skill, from hustle to shooting techniques.
• Visual Feedback: Provide video evidence of proper and improper execution to aid player learning.

3. Fostering Individual Player Development

Team Site Player Page

The Player Page is a data-rich resource showing categories where players are most utilized and their efficiency. For instance, Hailee Johnson’s page from Owensboro Catholic (KY) includes shot types and efficiency metrics.

Coaching Tips:

• Strengths and Weaknesses: Use data to assess a player’s skills objectively and create tailored development plans.
• Film Analysis: Leverage blue-linked film specifics to identify the causes of a player’s success or challenges.

Team Site: Leaderboards

Leaderboards allow coaches to filter and compare players with similar roles, providing benchmarks and insights. For example, comparing PNR Ball Handler efficiency among top performers to set realistic goals.

Coaching Tips:

• Player Comparisons: Engage players by showing them pro counterparts and setting achievable goals.
• Model Techniques: Utilize leaderboards to explore successful techniques and strategies used by similar players.
