Agile Basketball - Assistant Coaches


Assistant coaches help the players develop their skills and knowledge of the game. They share their experience with the players, and help them players reach their Sprint target metrics and maximize their value. The key role of assistant coaches is to make sure player IQs are growing, and that the players are developing synergy. Ideal assistant coaches are former coaches or players with deep understanding of spatial data, improving offensive and defensive efficiency, and teaching players how to react off the ball. They have a track record for promoting ball movement and player movement, in addition to exploiting analytics from spatial data.

Agile Basketball - Estimating Player Value Toward Team Goals

Image
When an analyst sets the key objectives of a sprint, they prioritize the performance metrics (in the Sprint Performance Dashboard), assess the complexity of each metric based on the schedule and individual matchups within the Sprint, and assigns a value to them. Value for performance metrics vary from Sprint to Sprint and player to player based on the competition of the schedule and what the team needs him to do. This assesses the feasibility of each metric and forces players to challenge themselves in other areas when goals related to their strengths and skillsets are difficult to accomplish (for example, the chances of winning the matchup of scoring or rebounding against a guard like Russell Westbrook is low, therefore the guard in that matchup is forced to find other performance metrics they will win in that matchup, thus creating value). It’s very important that the entire team share a clearly defined and common understanding of the value point system. http://agilebasketball.org/mo...

Agile Basketball Pillars: Self Organization

Self-organization is a fundamental concept in Agile Basketball. Self-organization does not mean that players instead of managers control the team strategy and execution. Nor does it mean letting players do whatever they want to do. It means that management commits to guiding the evolution towards synergy, which emerges from the interaction of players, committed to team goals and learning through inspection, adaptation, self-organization and empiricism. The analyst clarifies to player what the team objectives are for each five game Sprint, and players (along with the analyst and assistant coach guidance) determine how they will add value. But they are nonetheless self-organizing, with influence from those who can assist them in achieving the team goal (such as analyst creating ways of measuring value and the team lead adopting new offensive/defensive strategies). The player’s job is to self-organize around team challenges, boundaries, and constraints identified by the analyst or player ...
