FRAGMENTS OF CONCLUSIONS OF DISSERTATION: Elevich SN (2009)

1 A characteristic feature of the system of year-long training of highly skilled basketball players is the one-cycle construction of the training year

5. The time interval between matches on average ranges from one to five days, which determines the dimension of the training cycles. I

6. … the structure of intermediate stages is substantiated, which includes three parts: restorative, special-preparatory and pre-competitive.

8. in the conditions of a long and rich in matches of different ranks of the competitive period, some game indicators deteriorate, others improve, others remain unchanged.

10. Contribution to the overall performance of basketball players of high qualification is provided at the expense of skilful execution of attacking gear, ball interceptions, block shots, selection of the ball on their own and others’ shields, reducing the number of ball losses during transfers and technical losses

11. … the dynamics of the growth of their sporting achievements was significantly influenced first of all by the increase in the overall performance of the game, the effectiveness of two-and three-point shoots from the game, free throws, attacking gears, selection of the ball on its shield, and an increase in the player’s utility coefficient.

13. The use of the software and hardware complex “Omega-Sport” allows to determine the level of psycho-functional preparedness, the integral indicator of the “sports form”, to diagnose the weak links of adaptation for individual players. 14. Index of the sports form is closely linked, first of all, with the level of potential and predictable fitness, and also, with a degree of stress (psycho-functional status) of the player.

Let’s check the starting positions with my opponent.

Elevich S.N. allocates only 5 components of the game: implementation (1,2,3), selection on its shield and KPI

KPI includes all these indicators and has a correlation with the results of games 0.34. Count this figure in his doctoral dissertation SN. did not.

And where, in terms of the game, is the opponent playing the coordinating, speed and power? Control of the ball in a situation where they try to knock it out? And pass behind – is there such a component?

Selecting a ball in the fight and without a fight – are two equivalent components?

If I won single combat with a strong player and a weak player – are they equivalent?

Ignoring the factor of exchange – it does not matter who won who

Inability to transfer the collected indicators from one match to another.

The lack of an idea of ​​the different effectiveness of shots with 1 hand, 2 hands

Inability to calculate the effectiveness of a combination

Failure to show the most effective game and provide the score of the game on the scoreboard in the event of its implementation

Lack of understanding of the drop in the level of the athlete’s game from the number of martial arts

No knowledge of the numerical value of the tactical effect of the game

The desire to work with indicators such as the amount of speed-power work and the inability to replace it with numbers of diverse martial arts.

And so on…..
“I guess I did not get through to you. But believe me, we need hundreds of matches to get a positive result. They must be processed, analyzed, output the result. Talk to Eremin SG, he will tell you how best you can do everything. On one match of the team, to draw conclusions, this is nonsense !!! ”
S.N. Elewicz
My answer

Mr. Eremin SG can only send me to the existing KPI technology, in which, for example, there are not even half of the components of the game (stroke speed, power, coordination, pass behind, recovery, and so on). But there are mythical active programs. Where selection is credited to the player, even if no one has fought with him. Do not take into account the factor of exchange – who from whom exactly won. And so on. A hole in the hole. KPI is just information garbage. A huge gap, the failure in the release of information really has to be filled with a huge number of analyzed games. This is not an example of an effective technology. There is no point in putting it to my example. Suffice it to say that the decisive word for the former coach – KPI to replace it is not in a position.

Let’s wait for the game and we’ll discuss it there. I agree that 1 game is not enough. We need everything. But we need only as an example.
I remembered the phrase from Hegel. “Truth is born as heresy, and dies as a prejudice” Here we have two technologies, let’s compare.
In general, we will postpone for a while and then return to this topic
