  • Expert model of decision-making system for efficient orientation of basketball players to positions and roles in the game - empirical verification
    Dežman, Brane, 1947- ; Trninić, Slavko ; Dizdar, D.
    The purpose of the research was to empirically verify the expert model system designed for more efficient orientation of basketball players to particular positions andžor roles in the game ... (specialiyation). Participants were 60 randomly chosen male basketball players (12 players per each position) from the 12 Croatian 1st league teams in season1998ž 99. Data were gathered from 10 basketball coaches who estimated overall performance (actual quality) of players on defense (7 variables) and on offense (12 variables). Variables were established by Trniniæ, Perica and Diydar1. A measure of body height was added to the aforementioned group of variables. The results obtained suggest that the proposed decision-making system can be used as an auxiliary instrument in orienting players to the positions and roles in the game. It has been established that the players have attained the highest grades of overall performance exactly at their primary playing positions in the game. The largest differences were determined between point guards (position 1) and centers (position 5). The greatest difficulties have occurred in determining optimal position for small forwards (position 3), then for shooting guards (position 2) and, last, for power forwards (position 4), because all these basketball players are the most versatile ones. Therefore, reliability of the system is the lowest when it is applied to selectiing and orienting players to these positions. Convenient body height significantly contributes to aptitude of these players to play multiple positions and to assume multiple roles in the game. This research has reinforced the thesis that body height is a variable with the greatest influence on orientation of players to particular positions and roles in the game.
