A high school coach moved from FastDraw to The Hoops Geek
A coach with a large high school program stopped using FastDraw and uses The Hoops Geek instead, including its beta practice planner.
What they did
They used FastDraw and FastScout at a previous job. At their current program, a large high school, they never asked about the price of adding them to Hudl and use The Hoops Geek.
How it went
They said Hoops Geek does the same job and they like its beta practice planner. They lost access to their old FastDraw work and now create plays as needed.
Worth knowing
Switching tools can mean losing old diagrams. Export what you can before a license ends.
Try it yourself
Switching play tools
- Export or screenshot your current playbook.
- Rebuild your top 10 plays first.
- Try the practice planner for one week of practices.
