Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Basketball Evaluation form, it’s important to provide accurate and thoughtful feedback. Here are some dos and don'ts to consider:

  • Do take your time to assess each category thoroughly before marking your ratings.
  • Do use specific examples to support your evaluations in the comments section.
  • Do be honest about the player’s strengths and weaknesses to ensure constructive feedback.
  • Do consider the player’s overall performance rather than focusing solely on individual skills.
  • Don't rush through the evaluation; a hasty assessment may lead to inaccuracies.
  • Don't use vague terms like "good" or "bad" without providing context or examples.
  • Don't forget to check all applicable skills, as this provides a more comprehensive view of the player's abilities.

Common mistakes

  1. Inconsistent Ratings: Evaluators often provide varying scores for the same category. This inconsistency can lead to confusion and misinterpretation of the player's abilities.

  2. Neglecting Comments: Many evaluators skip the comments section. This omission deprives players and coaches of valuable insights that can guide improvement.

  3. Ignoring Weaknesses: Some evaluators focus solely on strengths. A balanced evaluation should address both strengths and areas needing improvement.

  4. Incomplete Player Information: Failing to fill out all player information, such as height and grade, can hinder the evaluation process and affect the accuracy of assessments.

  5. Misunderstanding the Rating Scale: Confusion regarding the rating scale can lead to inaccurate evaluations. It is crucial to understand that a score of 1 indicates a need for improvement, while a 5 signifies outstanding performance.
