Basketball Intelligym computer game improves on-court basketball skills

Despite extensive roster turnover, Indy Tech improved upon their 10-10 record of a year ago to post a 13-9 record and reach the semi-finals of the Sectional Tournament. The win marked their first Sectional win in 15 years.

Coach John Hamilton at Indy Tech gave the system to one of the top senior players on the varsity team, as well as the point guard for the school’s JV squad. The Intelligym provided immediate results for his varsity team shooting guard while the JV player also began to show improvement before his season was cut short due to injury.

“He (the varsity player) completed eight training sessions at the beginning of the season and his play early on was outstanding,” admitted Coach Hamilton. “His reactions were quicker and now that I think of it, he had some of his best games early in the season including a pair of 25 point outings. The Intelligym, clearly helped his court awareness and decision-making and even helped our team come together much quicker than I had expected,” said Coach Hamilton. “Although I encouraged him to use the system, I never had to remind him as the system was easy to operate and fun for him to use.”

One season after losing two top players to NCAA Division 1 programs, Franklin Central H.S. continued their tradition of success by posting a 17-8 record and the Class 4A Perry Meridian Sectional Championship. The following week their season came to an end as they were defeated by Carmel H.S. (also users of the Basketball Intelligym) in the Southport Regional Semi-Finals. Their success was even more impressive as three players were removed from the team for the last seven games of the season.

Franklin Central head coach Mark James also provided the Basketball Intelligym Scholarship training sessions to a freshman on his JV squad and junior point guard on the varsity squad. The frosh showed so much improvement during the season that he joined the varsity team and started the last seven games of the season.

“The players and I are in agreement that the system definitely helped with their decision-making ability on the court,” said Coach James. “I reviewed the stat sheet and saw that the freshman point guard committed only 27 turnovers in 25 games but very few of them were decision-making in nature. I have no doubt that this training helped him excel on the JV squad and fit in well when we called him up to play varsity. Our junior was solid all season, posting 11 points, 5 assist and very few turnovers or mental error.”

“I do not think it is a coincidence that several of these teams had historic seasons and saw fine point guard play,” said Ed Schilling, Executive Director of Champions Academy in Indianapolis and a long-time proponent of the Basketball Intelligym who saw direct results of the system when he served on the staff of John Calipari at the University of Memphis. . “The training regimen works best if all of the players are training with the system, but just like the results at these four schools demonstrates, one or two players making better decisions and playing smarter basketball can impact the performance of an entire team and make everyone better. We have no doubt, that in addition to the great coaching they received and the hard work they put in, the Intelligym contributed to the team’s success.”
