About The Possession Report

Built by a coach. For coaches and players.

The box score tells you what happened. The Possession Report tells you why.

Every staff deserves possession-level intelligence on every possession — not just a stat line. We turn the official play-by-play of any game into a clear, print-clean story of where it was won, where it was lost, and what to fix next.

01 · Who built it

A New Jersey basketball lifer.

The Possession Report was founded and built by Herman Johnson Jr. Three Hall-of-Fame-level rooms, seven seasons as a head coach, one of the top AAU programs in the country — and two sons who went on to the highest levels of the game.

02 · The mission  •  03 · The engine

Possession-level intelligence, for everyone in the gym.

The number doesn’t lie, and it doesn’t play favorites. We built PBiR so every coach, player, and scout can see the game the way the best film-room minds do — one possession at a time — without spending the night charting it by hand.

PBiR — the PlayBack Intelligence Report

It logs every possession and grades 13 recorded basketball events to measure each player’s and the team’s true impact, then layers on possession efficiency and the Efficiency Thermometer. Same engine, every report — the read just changes per question.

The PBiR argument, in Coach Johnson’s own words.

Why we measure efficiency — possession by possession — and what it means for your program. Press play.

04 · The Team Locker

The product is the room — automated basketball intelligence, live.

Every program gets one Team Locker — a closed room, twenty people, your program only. The coach sends the game’s data export, the engine grades every action on one scale, and a certified nine-page report files itself into the locker in minutes — no hands, no waiting.

The staff sees who opened it, name by name.
The Coach’s Board carries tonight’s keys, the Team Board carries the conversation, Messages stay one to one.
Every player gets his own page with his live certified record — his season, game by game, in green and red — moving the moment a game certifies. His numbers moved before he woke up.
It installs like an app, it lives on every phone in the program, and the season builds its own certified record all year.

That is what we sell: basketball intelligence, automated, certified, and always current.
