Founder: Coach Bill Dettering

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 in 2018, 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 starting his 18th season as a coach, currently at San Francisco University High School. Bill also coaches some AAU and youth teams as well. Bill played at Swarthmore College, a D3 school. Hoopsalytics is a big part of all Bill's teams.

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.)

Co-Founder: Coach Mike Murphy

I have been in love with the game of basketball since I started playing as a 7-year-old. Developing from a high school and college player into a coach and basketball business co-founder is a dream come true. Doing it with my great friend and teammate Coach Bill has made it even better. Since we started working together since 2018 to bring the very best stats and analytics to programs of all levels and ages, our business has grown exponentially. We now work with basketball programs on five continents, including pro teams to college and high school to AAU clubs and recreational leagues. We have talked with hundreds and hundreds of motivated coaches from all levels that are working to bring the best basketball experience to their players. That keeps us fired up, too.

Mike is currently a High School coach in San Francisco, and has previously worked with The Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, and the Stanford Women's team in various capacities.

We look forward to many more successful years of Hoopsalytics and growing the game of basketball through video, stats and analytics.

Our team of analysts continues to grow as we bring more and more coaches and teams onto Hoopsalytics. All are well-trained, and we pay a good living wage to all of our workers.

This team pictured is based in the Phillipines, where they are basketball-savvy and hard-working. Plus, games submitted at night in the USA are started almost immediately due to the 12-hour time difference. Games are typically ready by the next morning, and sometimes within two or three hours after upload.

We are blessed to have the best scoring team on the planet, who far outperform other outfits and any AI based solutions.
