The quick breakdown on Hudl.com is very similar to the individual breakdown area for basketball in Hudl Video Editor. The quick breakdown is a valuable tool quickly creating detailed stats reports and shot charts for each play or an entire playlist.
The quick summary area provides an easy way to look at your players individually, or your team as a whole. The quick summary is generated from the quick breakdown data from each play in the playlist. It provides both individual and team shot charts and a basic stat report for both your team and your opponent.
This project begins on the Hudl.com Library page with a basketball playlist loaded.
