Abstract:
The main goal of the present study was to identify the role of team officials in the preparation of leading basketball teams in relation to game performance indicators which best determine sports in various competitions. In the present research study there were ninety six (96) basketball players and twenty four (24) team officials (coaches, assistant coaches and managers) from eight leading Indian basketball teams. The selected basketball teams were Indian Railways, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Services, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka all from different states and organizations of India. Through detailed analysis the variables with high influence on game effectiveness were selected for final procedures. It has been proven that the players as well as coaches/ assistant coaches/team managers of the top successful basketball teams have significantly differed in almost all aspects of team preparation from their not successful counterparts. In practical applications these results connected with top teams and elite players may help coaches to design better training programs.
