More tools are often seen as more work. In this article, learn how combining Instat and Hudl Sportscode delivers faster coaching workflows and deeper basketball insights.

Something has to happen every 24 seconds on the basketball court. The world of basketball analysis is almost as fast paced. It's crucial that your basketball analysis tools allow you to cut through the noise and deliver you the most important information that you need, and quickly. This is where our integration between the Instat and Hudl Sportscode platforms comes into play.

Despite the connotation that more platforms = more work, Instat x Sportscode provides a seamless integration that opens up more sophisticated workflows and deeper data insights. All without adding additional workload.

Hudl Sportscode, a performance analysis tool, gives you the power to customize your game tagging to exactly how your team plays.

Whether it’s running your offense, exploiting mismatches, or planning  defensive assignments, you will have the option to use a code window customized entirely towards the events you value collecting the most.

You can combine your Sportscode event tagging with Instat’s full-game breakdowns for both your own team and, crucially, your opponents’ games across the league. Instat provides ready-made statistics and access to a deep library of video clips for scouting and context. 

Together, you have a tailored team analysis created through Sportscode, combined with thousands of games to scout and add context to that analysis via Instat’s video and data library.

More tools does not mean more work. In fact, this integration between platforms simplifies and accelerates your post-game process.

Here’s how: 

  • Instat provides game data and video clips within hours after the final whistle.
  • Take that Instat video and/or data and layer on your team-specific Sportscode tags, labels and visualisations.
  • The result: one integrated workflow for video, data and event tagging.

You can now start your post-game analysis sooner,finish it faster - and gain even  more analytical depth! 

Deeper Tactical Insights Unlocked

Instat’s advanced filters and data visualizations make it easy to identify strengths and tendencies of individual players or entire teams,like pick-and-roll frequency, shot charts, strong/weak hand and willingness to drive or settle for a jumpshot. These are but a few tendencies you can zero in on within Instat.

After scouting tendencies, open up Sportscode to break down how your team defended similar plays or how you executed similar systems in comparison.

This powerful connection between opponent tendencies and your own team’s performance allows you to guide the way your team prepares for specific opponents far more strategically.
 

Multi-faceted Player Development

Instat’s library of video and data lets you benchmark how your individual players are stacking up across the league across an array of advanced data, inclusive of shot type, play type, and pick and roll. 

Using Sportscode, you can then build playlists for each player focused on targeted improvement areas.

Don’t leave the future development of your players to chance. Contextually benchmarked analysis combined with personal video feedback leads to smarter and more targeted player development.
