German 3x3 Basketball Player Assessments and Coach Evaluations

46 3x3 basketball players (23 female, aged 15.8–18.6 years) were assessed during the final stage of the German national selection system. The dataset includes motor performance tests, anthropometrics, and coaches' subjective ratings of technical, tactical, and psychological parameters. This research by Nora Cermak, published in 2026, compares logistic regression and fast-and-frugal tree models to analyze predictors for player selection.

Use Cases

• Model player selection decisions using logistic regression based on subjective assessment components, motor performance tests, and anthropometrics.
• Analyze interrater reliability between coaches using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) from subjective assessment data.
• Compare the relevance of different talent aspects (e.g., current performance) between national and regional coaches via graphical comparisons and descriptive statistics.
• Build fast-and-frugal trees (FFTrees) to visualize cue prioritization for selection decisions under limited information and time pressure.
• Investigate differences in coach assessments of technical, tactical, and psychological parameters across male and female player cohorts.

Strengths

• Data from 46 players assessed during the final stage of a national selection system provides a focused sample.
• Includes multiple data types: motor performance tests, anthropometrics, and multi-dimensional coach subjective assessments.
• Analysis compares two distinct statistical approaches (logistic regression and FFTree) on the same data, with a reported Nagelkerke R² of 0.70.

Limitations

• Small sample size of 46 players limits statistical power and generalizability of findings.
• Interrater reliability between coaches was poor to moderate (ICC 0.38-0.51), indicating high subjectivity in the core assessment data.
• The 316.1 KB PDF file likely contains summarized analysis results rather than the raw, row-level dataset for direct modeling.
