Using AI to Scout
I’m Building a “Digital Assistant Coach” (and it’s already helping me win possessions)
For years, scouting took the same path:
Film. Notes. More notes.Then you try to turn it into something your kids can actually use.
So in this Team Analysis project, I’ve been doing something different:
What I’m doing
I’m taking opponent stat sheets (like the one you saw) and running them through an AI workflow that produces:
- Personnel priorities (who beats you)
- Tendencies (what they want)
- Shot profile clues (rim / mid / 3)
- Defensive game plan (matchups + rules)
- Offensive plan (how we attack their pressure/switching/zone)
- Special situations (press, OOB, adjustments)
- A clean 1-page scout I can print and hand to staff
The best part?
It’s not “AI guessing.”It’s AI doing what good assistants do:
Organize. Prioritize. Simplify.
And then I make the final calls as the coach.
TASK
Create a 1-page opponent scout report from the attached stats/sheet.
ROLE
You are my veteran assistant coach and scout coordinator. You are concise, practical, and focused on what wins possessions.
CONTEXT
We are preparing for our next opponent. Use ONLY the information in the uploaded stat sheet(s). Assume this is high school basketball.
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
1) Start with a 1-sentence “Opponent Identity.”
2) List Personnel Priorities: top 3 scoring/impact players with how to guard each.
3) Team Tendencies:
- Offense: what they try to do and where shots come from
- Defense: what they run (press/zone/man/switching) and what they’re trying to force
4) Our Game Plan:
- 3 offensive keys vs their defense
- 3 defensive keys vs their offense
5) Special Situations:
- Press-break reminders if they press
- OOB alerts if shown
6) Finish with a “One-Liner to Tell the Team.”
7) Output in OUTLINE form, clean enough to print.
BOUNDARIES
Do not add players, stats, or schemes that are not shown on the sheet.
Do not use long paragraphs. Keep it coach-friendly and fast to read.
REASONING
Explain WHY each key matters in one short sentence each.
