Thanks to Hudl, all sorts of advanced stats are available after the game is over. But what about the things that aren’t available in real time? How about things that don’t necessarily show up in the box score?

I asked Miami (OH) head men’s basketball coach, Travis Steele, about the topic when he joined me on A Quick Timeout podcast. He broke down the RedHawks’ “Hustle Stats.”

Do you coach younger players? He’s one to work on dribbling (for both defense and offense) then finishing against a live defender.

Instructions: Players start under the basket facing each other. On the coach’s “go,” the defender dribbles around the cone on the baseline and the offense dribbles around the cone on the wing. The defender walls up to contest the shot. The offense must finish in the paint off two feet.
