One stack, every game: how ShotTracker is becoming the operating system for women’s basketball programs
Two more NCAA Division I women’s basketball programs went all in on ShotTracker this past month, deploying the full Coaching Stack to run practice tracking, live-game analytics, video and scouting from one connected system. With the 2026-27 season tipping off this week, the back-to-back additions give ShotTracker a fast start in the women’s game and put two more staffs on the same stack that powered both teams in last April’s national championship game.
What Full Stack Looks Like
A full-stack program works from one source of truth, from the first practice in October to the last possession in March.
- Helix tracks every practice, workout, drill and scrimmage automatically.
- ShotTracker Go puts that Helix data in players’ hands so they can see their own progress.
- Pulse brings tech on the bench, with real-time analytics in front of the staff during games.
- Scout gives coaches natural-language access to performance data and film. Ask a question, get the answer and the clips.
- GameSync delivers game video tagged with stats shortly after the final buzzer, so film work starts on the bus ride home.
- Video editing puts coding, clipping, tagging and reel building in the same stack as the data, so the video coordinator and the rest of the staff work from one place.
The result is one workflow for the head coach, the assistants, the video coordinator and the players. Practice data informs the game plan. Game data informs the next practice. Scouting and film live in the same place as the numbers.
The Proof is on the Biggest Stage
Last season ended with two ShotTracker partners meeting for the national title.
UCLA beat South Carolina 79-51 on April 5 in Phoenix to win its first NCAA women’s basketball championship. The Bruins finished 37-1 under head coach Cori Close and never trailed in the title game.
South Carolina reached its third straight national championship game under Dawn Staley and finished the year 36-4. Gamecocks guard Raven Johnson was recognized in ShotTracker’s 2025-26 Partner Awards before heading to the WNBA Draft.
When the last two teams standing both run on ShotTracker, other programs take notice.
A Busy October in the Women’s Game
The two full-stack additions cap a strong month of women’s basketball partnerships:
- Wake Forest added Scout and Pulse on October 7, pairing real-time bench analytics with natural-language scouting.
- Niagara added Scout on October 16.
Earlier in 2026, UCF expanded its partnership by adding Pulse and Scout to its Helix system.
They join a women’s partner roster that has included BYU, Charlotte, Colorado, Murray State, St. Bonaventure, Marshall, San Diego State and Arizona State, alongside national champion UCLA and South Carolina.
Why Now
Women’s basketball programs are investing in staff, facilities and player development at every level, and coaching staffs want the same depth of data and video their peers use on the men’s side. ShotTracker meets that demand with one connected stack built for the way basketball staffs actually work.
“Women’s basketball continues to be an underserved market for the technology we can provide to give schools a much-needed opportunity on and off the court.” – Davyeon Ross, Co-Founder and CEO
Season Tips Off
As the 2026-27 season opens, ShotTracker partners across the women’s game will have practice, game, video and scouting data working together from day one. More partnership news is coming as the season unfolds.
