Sažetak
The purpose of the research was to empirically verify the expert model system designed
for more efficient orientation of basketball players to particular positions and/or
roles in the game (specialization). Participants were 60 randomly chosen male basketball
players (12 players per each position) from the 12 Croatian 1st league teams in
season1998/99. Data were gathered from 10 basketball coaches who estimated overall
performance (actual quality) of players on defense (7 variables) and on offense (12 variables).
Variables were established by Trnini}, Perica and Dizdar1. A measure of body
height was added to the aforementioned group of variables. The results obtained suggest
that the proposed decision-making system can be used as an auxiliary instrument
in orienting players to the positions and roles in the game. It has been established that
the players have attained the highest grades of overall performance exactly at their primary
playing positions in the game. The largest differences were determined between
point guards (position 1) and centers (position 5). The greatest difficulties have occurred
in determining optimal position for small forwards (position 3), then for shooting guards
(position 2) and, last, for power forwards (position 4), because all these basketball players
are the most versatile ones. Therefore, reliability of the system is the lowest when it is
applied for selecting and orientating players to these positions. Convenient body height
significantly contributes to aptitude of these players to play multiple positions and to
assume multiple roles in the game. This research has reinforced the thesis that body
height is a variable with the greatest influence on orientation of players to particular positions
and roles in the game.
