Abstract:
Introduction: Previous research has highlighted the importance of fast breaks in men’s basketball, yet there is a need for further investigation into women’s basketball, particularly at junior levels. The purpose of this study was to compare fast breaks and other possessions between girls’ high school and international basketball teams. Material and methods: Data from 28 Taiwanese high school matches and 34 international matches were analyzed. The type, preceding event, start location, first action, and outcome of possessions were recorded using a purpose-built spreadsheet system. Most variables were not normally distributed so non-parametric procedures
were used to compare high school and international matches as well as winning and losing teams. Results: High school matches featured significantly more fast breaks (p < 0.001) and other possessions (p = 0.031) than international matches. However, international teams scored on a significantly higher proportion of fast breaks (p
= 0.030) and other possessions (p < 0.001). At both levels, winning teams played significantly more fast breaks than losing teams (p <= 0.008) and significantly fewer other possessions (p <= 0.016). A significantly greater proportion of high school teams’ other possessions followed steals (p < 0.001) and inbounds (p = 0.009). However, a significantly lower proportion of high school teams’ other possessions followed opposition scores (p< 0.001). There were significant differences between high school and international matches for the percentage of other possessions commencing with different first actions (p <= 0.004). There were significant differences between winning and losing teams for the court zones where fast breaks (p <= 0.012) and other possessions (p<= 0.022) commenced during high school matches. Conclusions: The type and outcome of possessions differ between girls’ high school and women’s international basketball. Differing aspects of possessions distinguish winning and losing teams between these two levels of basketball. Coaches of female high school players should be aware of these differences between high school and international basketball.
Key Words: fast breaks, tactics, opposition quality effect, performance analysis, female players.
