Division I college basketball coaches will have access to live stats and analytics during game play for the first time during the 2018 Hall of Fame Classic.
Players from the four participating schools—Missouri State, Nebraska, Texas Tech, and USC—will all wear ShotTracker sensors and use a basketball embedded with its own sensor. The use of the system by the schools and by tournament broadcaster ESPN already had been announced, but the NCAA has since granted a waiver to allow real-time access for coaches to the ShotTracker analytics dashboard.
“ShotTracker is proud to drive this next stage of growth in college basketball, and we are excited to take this major step in bringing the extraordinary power of live analytics to the NCAA level,” Davyeon Ross, co-founder and COO of ShotTracker, said in a news release.
