11 things about Moneyball for Basketball

1. The coach found that a better sub-choice for his big man was a guard and moving a power-forward to post was a better substitution pushing the impact rating for the 2nd squad to 1.5 and still outscoring the opponents.

2. But squad stats showed that this second-squad’s impact rating was 0.50, meaning for every 1 positive impact they had 2 negatives PLUS they were outscored 9-27.

3. He also found that there were 3 different 2-player substitutions when his big man had to be brought out of the game which made even more sense…and guess what, 2 of those 2-player substitutions included his #2 big-man.

4. In other words, squad chemistry was better with the #2 big-man when a specific other starter was pulled off the floor.

5. One coach gets sent the top 4 and bottom 4 performing squads for that game by text message.

6. After 5 games, one coach found that his starting 5 outscored their opponents but when the big man got 2 fouls he would go to his #2 big man.

7. What sets our app apart, and why we named it MONEYBALL, is that each squad on the court is scored as a unit.

8. This allows you to evaluate the impact of each squad.

9. We rank them by their impact (Positive actions / Negative actions).

10. A typically free-substitution game will have over 20 squads on the court.

11. Drag and drop the associated stat and drop it on the players’ or the opponent’s backboard.
