Weighted Stats

To get players focused on other things beside points scored, many top-tier coaches (like Kyle Smith from Stanford) implement a weighted box score, where they assign values to key stats that are important, and then compute an overall score for each player after every game or practice.

For example, you can assign a value of -3 for a turnover, +1.5 for an offensive rebound, +1 for a floor dive, etc. You can pick and choose the events to include, and easily tweak the score values as the season progresses.

The weighting also takes into account the number of possessions for each player to make an apples-to-apples comparison.
