New Stat Analysis Tool Gives The High School Basket Ball Coach An Edge

Online, September 30, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Today's high school basketball coach now has the same sabermetric analysis resources as coaches in the NBA, thanks to a new ground breaking website www.highschoolhoopsdoc. One of the co-founders of the site is Dr. David Claerbaut, a high school coach in Las Vegas and Michigan, with a background in sports psychology and statistical analysis. Dr. Claerbaut is the Hoops Doc, and he sees the site as unique. "We saw a need for a resource for the high school basketball coach from somebody who has been there in real time and addresses the entire range of head coaching experience-the psychological, physical, and strategic-not one that is a laundry list of offenses, defenses, and drawings," stated Dr. Claerbaut.

The site is built around healthy techniques that win. It covers scheduling, roster choices, promoting a basketball program, game strategy, and scouting.

The centerpiece of the website is a "Stat Pack." It brings a sabermetric approach to high school basketball and is a product of the founder, who has written a number of sports books---one on basketball statistics. "I took my stat research in putting together my book The NBA Analyst, and adjusted them to the high school level using a national statistical database of over 100 high schools," says Dr. David Claerbaut. "Now girls and boys high school coaches can get the same edge an NBA coach gets with more advanced and understandable statistics and built-in analysis.

There are ratings in a variety of categories including Floor Dominance, Possession Dominance, Non-Shooting Impact Factor, etc, based on an exclusive formula. It is all broken down, explaining the impact of each stat and even how to apply the numbers and ratings to build practices, to prepare for opponents and more.

The site also deals with revolutionary specialized strength conditioning from Dr. Michael Yessis, nationally renowned biomechanic guru.

"but Explosive Basketball proves out on the court while keeping players free from common injuries such as hamstring pulls." Concluded the Hoops Doc..
