After a successful 2015-2016 basketball season, Ontario Scholastic Basketball Association (OSBA) renewed its partnership with Krossover, the leading sports film analysis and statistics company, for film breakdowns and statistics. The partnership will expand from the analysis of men’s games to include women’s games in 2017.

The ongoing partnership will provide OSBA teams with game film breakdown and statistics for every game. Within 24 to 36 hours after a game, coaches and athletes receive access to play-by-play video breakdown and team and player statistics, including made and missed shots, free throws, rebounds, fouls, and turnovers. Krossover also allows users to filter by possession, specific actions, and individual player efficiencies, giving teams the ability to effectively evaluate offensive and defensive actions.

 

As a result, coaches have readily available, accurate data to evaluate performance and make appropriate adjustments, which can greatly contribute to improving individual and team performance. This season, with the new interactive graphics and responsive data features provided by Krossover Insights, OSBA teams will be able to spot trends in box score numbers and study statistics like never before.

 

“Continuing to develop our partnership with Krossover by expanding the use of their services to both the men’s and women's programs is a testament to the growth of OSBA as a whole and highlights the emphasis we place on providing holistic development to our coaches and athletes,” said Carmelo Mallia, OSBA Commissioner. “Providing a high quality video analysis and advanced statistics service, one that is used at the highest levels of basketball globally, is reflective of OSBA's commitment to providing a true high performance platform for the high school athletes within our province.”

 

"The use of analytics in sport has traditionally only been available to the most elite leagues and teams, like those at the post-secondary and professional levels. OSBA is extremely excited to be able to provide the Krossover service to all of our affiliated coaches,” Michael Selliah, Ontario Basketball’s Manager of Coaching Development, added. “With the integration of video analysis and advanced statistics into these well-established programs, all of our coaches and players will have the opportunity to review gameplay and revise their training regiments and in-game tactics to improve their production on the court."

 

The software will also help with promotion of the league, teams, and players as users are able to easily create highlight videos that can be shared online.
