Basketball coaches and trainers are charged with an important responsibility: manage a player’s load so as not to further his or her risk of injury. Tracking this becomes difficult when you realize the varying natures of each position on the court. While a center might experience many short acceleration bursts, a guard will cover longer distances in transition scenarios.
KINEXON is a basketball tracking and analytics platform that is offering college coaches a solution to this problem, and it is looking to partner with more NCAA basketball programs next season. The analytics gained by KINEXON expand much further upon a metric commonly used by coaches called player load.
