In Basketball, the game strategy for getting points effectively is, of course, very important to win a game. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the effective tactical plan by fully understanding the team and individuals’ potential.
In addition, through comparing college and WJBL teams, it is possible to identify the differences of game situations and tendencies including their characteristics. The purpose of this study was to compare game situations between college teams and WJBL, using the game analysis method. In this study, it was revealed the following 4 perspectives which are especially useful for lower level teams:
1. Since the chance of a turnover is increasing in college games, it is necessary to raise the quality of fundamental basketball skills. It is also important to improve players’ physical strength for more contact plays.
2. In WJBL, players are required to have exellent outside shooting skills, including 3 point-shots. Players on college teams are also encouraged to acquire higher accuracy on their 3 point-shots in order to play for the WJBL .
3. College teams should improve their passing skills due to the fact that WJBL teams effectively use passing skills to create more shooting opportunities.
4. Players frequently use screen plays to create an effective shooting opportunity in WJBL. In addition, the analysis showed a tendency for the shooting player to move a lot on the court. Therefore, it is necessary for college teams to utilize screen plays in a shooting situation, and to improve decision making skills to effectively cover the court.
