Free tool

Scout any basketball matchup, free

Pick an attacker and a defender. HoopBrief returns a scouting-style breakdown in seconds: what the offense wants, how to take it away, and the read when the first option is gone. The same matchup intelligence NBA staffs use, no account needed to try.

No account needed. You get a real scouting-style breakdown in seconds.

How the free matchup scout works

Enter the offensive player you want to attack with and the defender guarding him. The scout reads both players through the precision lens and returns three things a coaching staff would write on the whiteboard: an attack plan for the ball handler, a guard plan for the defender, and the counter when the first option is taken away. It is built on the same 12-lens system behind HoopBrief subscriber reports, run here on a single free lens so anyone can try it.

What you get for free versus with an account

The free scout gives you a full precision-lens breakdown of any matchup, no sign-up required. A free account adds saved reports, unlimited matchups, and all 12 coaching lenses, so you can reframe the same possession through the system, precision, defensive, analytics, and film-room views. Starter is 9.99 a month when you are ready for the full intelligence layer.

Who it is for

Players preparing for a specific defender, coaches building a game plan, and trainers teaching reads. It is a matchup intelligence tool for people who play, coach, or run a team, never a betting or fantasy product.
