Decision Making and Defensive Effectiveness of Ball Screen in Top-Level Basketball
Abstrct
The objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the defensive actions of the pick and roll in basketball by ACB League teams throughout a full season (2010-11), contrasting the results obtained with the opinion of basketball experts on the decision-making process regarding this game action. The research uses direct observation (observational methodology) and indirect observation (in-depth interviews). An observational instrument is used to analyze the actions of pick and roll and this is recorded using the software Dartfish TeamPro v.4.5. For the in-depth interviews, an indirect observation instrument is built and validated. The significant association between different elements of the game and defensive efficiency is determined using Chi-square and a polar coordinate analysis. 8267 actions have been analyzed, of which 26.9% correspond to ball screens. Significant differences (p <.05) are detected in the distribution of the different types of defensive aid from the defender of the ball handler and the defender of the screener in relation to defensive effectiveness, the most widely used option being the chase and the show. The coaches express in their in-depth interviews why “pick and roll is such a widely used and effective action” (Scariolo).

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
