Extend practice beyond practice
Give every player a clearer next step.
BasketballGraph organizes physical development and Basketball IQ into visible prerequisites, playing levels, and evidence that can complement your team plan.
Use the graph to give players shared language, targeted work between practices, and a clearer reason for each assignment. It supports coaching judgment; it does not replace live observation, team standards, or your playing model.
How to get started
Assign the smallest useful target
Point a player toward one prerequisite, physical skill, IQ concept, or review—not an unstructured list of drills.
Explore the IQ graph →Verify transfer in practice
Use controlled work, guided defense, live play, games, and delayed retests to see whether learning survives representative pressure.
See the evidence model →What the progress signals mean
Completion
XP shows who is engaging with assigned work. It should never be used by itself to rank playing ability or determine minutes.
Understanding
IQ mastery helps identify concepts that may need reteaching, retrieval, or a more representative on-court constraint.
Transfer evidence
Physical status distinguishes rehearsal from pressure-tested performance and gives you a starting point for live verification.
A useful weekly rhythm
- 1Name the team concept or player need you are solving.
- 2Assign one connected skill or IQ topic with a clear deadline.
- 3Create a practice constraint where the player must recognize and use it.
- 4Confirm, revise, or retest the evidence after live play.
