16U Girls AAU team struggling to defend dribble drive.
191/884 or 21% of all points scored against.

Stats showed us a problem to fix.

Cause? Poke and reach defenders hunting steals, but not moving their feet. Bigs slow to move into help allowing the drive to get to the hoop.

The math ain't mathin' on midrange when we tracked it for 34 Junior Girls games.

The results were clear.

.81 PPP with no touches or reversals
1.125 PPP with 1 touch and 1 reversal.
1.5 PPP with 0 PT and 2 REV

Collapse the D and disorganize them with movement.

Like @brianmccormick.bsky.social says in his book SABA, get those Small Advantages to get Big Advantages.

Used a simple chart tracking 0-2 paint touches and 0-2 reversals, makes or misses and shot clock time taken.

Needed a way to track Paint Touches and Reversals, so I modified the Basketball on Paper shorthand by analytics wizard @deanolytics.bsky.social adding markers for PT and REV to track the 46 1/2 court possessions.

Now let's math this all up.
