Defensive Analytics Dashboard
Rig Haga DAM · Season 2025/26 · Methodology & Context
This dashboard tracks individual and collective defensive performance across the full 2025/26 season.
All data comes from video tagging: every recorded defensive action is labelled as positive or negative and assigned
to one of 9 defensive concepts. The model uses self-comparison only —
every metric is evaluated against the team's own season average, not external benchmarks.
How to read
Green → above team average
Amber → within ±2% of average
Red → below team average

Core Metric — Success Rate
% = G ÷ (G + B) × 100
Success rate formula
G = number of positive (good) defensive actions.
B = number of negative (bad) defensive actions.
Actions tagged as irrelevant or ambiguous are excluded from the count. The metric ranges from 0% (all actions negative) to 100% (all positive).
B = number of negative (bad) defensive actions.
Actions tagged as irrelevant or ambiguous are excluded from the count. The metric ranges from 0% (all actions negative) to 100% (all positive).
Self-Comparison Model
There is no fixed external threshold for "good" or "bad" defence.
Instead, every player and group is evaluated against the team's own season average.
This means colours and Synergy labels tell you
how this player/concept/group compares to what this team typically does,
not against an abstract standard.
A player or concept rated Good is performing meaningfully above what the team produces on average. A concept rated Poor is dragging below it.

9 Defensive Concepts
Tier 1 · ×3
Activity
Highest weight
General defensive engagement, positioning and energy. How active and present a player is defensively across all situations.
Tier 1 · ×3
1on1
Highest weight
Individual defensive matchups. The ability to contain a ball-handler, stay in front, contest and deny in isolation situations.
Tier 1 · ×3
Team D
Highest weight
Collective defensive execution: communication, rotations, help-side positioning and closing out as a unit.
Tier 2 · ×2
Full Court D
High weight
Full court pressure and trapping systems. Applying defensive pressure from the opponent's baseline, forcing turnovers in the backcourt.
Tier 2 · ×2
Off Ball
High weight
Defence on players who do not have the ball. Denying catches, navigating screens and maintaining proper positioning away from the ball.
Tier 2 · ×2
PnR
High weight
Pick-and-roll defence. Coverage decisions (hedge, drop, switch, blitz) and execution when the ball-handler uses a screen.
Tier 3 · ×1.5
Low Post
Standard weight
Post defence. Fronting, 3/4 denial or playing behind the post, and contesting interior shots and moves in the paint.
Tier 3 · ×1.5
Transition D
Standard weight
Defensive transition. Getting back, stopping the ball, protecting the rim and organising the defence before the opponent can set up.
Tier 3 · ×1.5
Box Out
Standard weight
Defensive rebounding positioning. Blocking out opponents after a shot, securing the defensive glass and limiting second-chance opportunities.

Tier 1 — Core Concepts
Activity · 1on1 · Team D
These are the foundation of defensive performance. Weighted 3× because they occur in every possession and reflect the most fundamental habits of the system.

Tier 2 — Structural Concepts
Full Court D · Off Ball · PnR
System-specific concepts that require coordination and scheme execution. Important but situational — weighted 2× to reflect their frequency and tactical relevance.

Tier 3 — Complementary
Low Post · Transition D · Box Out
Concepts that appear less frequently or in specific matchup contexts. Weighted 1.5× — still meaningful but not the primary driver of the defensive evaluation.

Performance Classification — Synergy Model
Each metric is classified relative to the team's season average (or group average in group views).
The delta — positive or negative — determines the band. Ranges are fixed across the whole dashboard.

Things to Keep in Mind
⚠ Sample Size
Some concepts have very few recorded actions in specific tournaments — especially Low Post or Transition D in short events. A single action can swing the percentage by ±50%. Always check the raw counts before drawing conclusions from extreme values.
◌ DNP vs Absence
A DNP (Did Not Participate) marker in a player's row means no defensive actions were recorded for that tournament window — not necessarily that the player was absent. It may reflect limited minutes, a particular tactical role, or a gap in the tagging coverage.
◎ Relative, Not Absolute
All colours and Synergy labels are relative to this team's own average. A player rated "Good" here may perform differently against an external benchmark. The system is designed to identify intra-team strengths and development areas, not to certify absolute quality.
↗ Full-Year Trend
The season trend uses linear regression across all tournaments with recorded data (minimum 3). A positive slope means the player or concept has been improving over the course of the season. It does not mean every individual tournament was better than the last.
⊗ Tier Priority
When a player's weakest concepts include Tier 1 items (Activity, 1on1, Team D), those carry a development priority flag in their profile. The same raw percentage gap in a Tier 3 concept matters less to the overall defensive contribution than in a Tier 1 concept.
