How is artificial intelligence changing basketball coaching, player development, scouting, broadcasting, and performance analysis? In Episode 466 of The Gametime Guru Podcast, host Shane Larson sits down with Davyeon Ross, Co-Founder and CEO of ShotTracker, for a fascinating conversation about the intersection of basketball, technology, entrepreneurship, real-time analytics, and artificial intelligence. ShotTracker is helping change the way basketball programs understand what is happening on the court. By combining player and ball tracking, shot data, live statistics, synchronized video, advanced analytics, and AI-powered insights, the platform gives coaches and athletes a deeper look at performance than a traditional box score can provide. But Davyeon's story began long before ShotTracker. Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, Davyeon initially played soccer before discovering basketball as a teenager. Despite getting a relatively late start in the sport, his size, athleticism, footwork, shooting ability, and work ethic helped him earn a full college basketball scholarship in Kansas. After completing a successful college career, Davyeon had opportunities to play professional basketball overseas. Instead, he made the difficult decision to pursue a career in software engineering—a choice that would eventually allow him to combine his passion for sports with his expertise in technology. That combination ultimately led to the creation of ShotTracker. In this episode, Davyeon explains how the original idea began with a simple basketball problem: players and coaches were spending hours manually recording shots and performance data with pen and paper. He and his co-founder saw an opportunity to make that process more efficient, accurate, and valuable. Today, ShotTracker provides basketball technology that can automatically track shots, player movement, practice performance, scrimmage statistics, live game data, and video. Davyeon breaks down how the platform's different products help coaches evaluate players, review possessions, analyze opponents, validate the eye test, and make more informed decisions. In this conversation, Shane and Davyeon discuss: Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago Making the transition from soccer to basketball Moving to the United States at 17 years old Earning a full college basketball scholarship Adapting to a new country, culture, and level of competition Choosing software engineering over professional basketball The immigration and career factors that influenced that decision How Davyeon combined his love of sports and technology The original problem that inspired ShotTracker How ShotTracker measures shots, player movement, and team performance How basketball statistics can be synchronized with video How artificial intelligence can make film study and scouting more efficient Why analytics should support a coach's instincts rather than replace them How data can help quantify what coaches see during games and practices Why traditional coaches can still benefit from modern basketball technology Davyeon's friendship and mentorship relationship with former NBA Commissioner David Stern What Davyeon learned from David Stern about leadership and innovation Why great innovators are able to "see around corners" The future of AI, automation, and basketball analytics How technology could allow coaches to spend less time behind keyboards and more time developing players Davyeon also shares an important perspective for coaches who may be hesitant to embrace new technology. Tracking performance is not a new concept. Coaches have measured shots, possessions, lineups, and player development for decades. ShotTracker simply uses modern technology to make that process faster, easier, and more scalable. The conversation also explores how artificial intelligence could shape the future of basketball broadcasts and fan engagement. As data, video, and automation become more connected, fans may receive increasingly personalized ways to watch, understand, and interact with the game. Whether you are a basketball coach, player, parent, athletic director, scout, entrepreneur, technology professional, or sports fan, this episode offers an inside look at how AI and real-time analytics are helping shape the future of basketball.
