KC’s ShotTracker Partners With National Association of Basketball Coaches

The National Association of Basketball Coaches has just named ShotTracker its “official wearable technology.”

“The National Association of Basketball Coaches is always looking for new technology, tools and information that will help our membership and teams grows,” said Jim Haney, executive director of the NABC.

The device—which was created by local entrepreneurs Davyeon Ross and Bruce Ianni—automatically tracks how many shots a player takes and how many are made.

Users wear a ShotTracker sensor in a wristband or compression sleeve, which works in tandem with a sensor on a basketball net. Data on shot attempts and completions is then automatically fed to ShotTracker’s app.

“ShotTracker is providing crucial technology for coaches and players to excel,” Haney said. “ShotTracker helps players improve through measurement, and with access to this shooting data, coaches can more effectively develop their players and make more informed game-time decisions.”

The last 12 months have been busy ones for ShotTracker. The device went on sale through the company’s website last November. This spring, it won a “speed pitch” prize at the SXSW Accelerator Startup Competition. And it signed Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson to an endorsement deal, which included a Virtual Basketball Camp for ShotTracker users.
