abstract
Managers and coaches use an image that integrates a lot of subjective information to select players. Therefore, in this study, we extracted image factors from the subjective characteristics of the players and categorized the players based on the combination with other factors. Furthermore, we compared the results to categorizations based on objective data such as stats. The evaluators were 67 coaches who hold JBA official coaching licenses, and the subjects were 12 players who play in the highly recognized B.LEAGUE (B1). The evaluators were asked to respond to a 5-item survey regarding the subjective characteristics of the target players, consisting of 35 items. As a result, four factors were extracted by categorization based on the expert’s image, and when the factors centered on offense were categorized, they were classified into five groups. Furthermore, when categorizing players based on subjective images, three factors were shown to be influential: “position,” “defensive or offensive player,” and “physical ability.” Finally, in the classification based on objective data, similarities and differences were found in “position” and “physical ability” compared to the subjective classification. In other words, experts were thought to have a more detailed image of the offense.
