Episode 316: Coach Bill Dettering (Owner of Hoopsalytics/Head Girls Basketball Coach Truckee High School) Truckee, CA ("Basketball Specificity in Analytics")

Hoopsalytics was developed and conceived by Coach Bill Dettering. As a coach, Bill has always been obsessed with utilizing video and Moneyball-style stats to make his players and teams better. One day, Bill had an epiphany reading an article on HoopVision about defensive accounting, and then became inspired to build a better system to combine video and analytics in the most useful ways possible. A year later, the first iteration of Hoopsalytics was put into play for one of Bill's teams, and the players and coaching staff realized the incredible value it provided. This was also the inspiration for the more advanced features in the system. Coach Bill is currently the Girls Varsity Coach at Truckee High School, and is on his 11th season as a basketball coach at various levels. Bill also played at Swarthmore College, a D3 school. Hoopsalytics is a big part of the Truckee High program. Bill is a lifelong software designer and entrepreneur, previously founding Zingtree Inc. which has raised $18.5M in total as of May, 2022. Bill has started and run six companies - all powered by data-driven decision making. (Sportsalytics is by far the coolest one.) [email protected]
