The Coach

25+ years turning film into decisions.

At Ulster University I built the women's programme from local league to the Irish Superleague — Northern Conference titles, National Cup finals, a Centre of Excellence — and coached the men's side to a Premier League title and back-to-back Intermediate Cups.

Today I'm assistant coach and the sole analytics and scouting lead at Geelong United in the NBL1 South Women's league, and I coach Ireland and Northern Ireland 3x3 across the senior, U23 and Team NI squads.

The thread through all of it: turning film and numbers into something a team can actually run on Saturday.

The full breakdown

See it for real

The teardown, and the bench app it becomes.

The written teardown

Sample ScoutRoom one-page teardown

One page your staff reads before tip-off: the one thing that decides the game, the matchups, the keys each end. Delivered 48 hours out.

The bench app — in motion

The same scout, live on the bench — scout read, live tracking, shooter chart. One tap, no laptop, works offline.

Light theme — on the roadmap

The app ships dark today (built for dim arenas). A light theme like this is on the roadmap — if a club prefers it, it's a setting, not a rebuild.

Demo data (fictional teams) — your build runs on your opponents.

FAQ

The questions clubs actually ask.

Public box scores and league data, plus your own Synergy or FastScout if you have it. Every number traces to a source — nothing is invented or estimated without saying so.
NBL1 women's is the starting point, but if there are box scores for your competition I can almost certainly scout it. Tell me the league and I'll confirm before you pay anything.
48 hours from the last box score that matters. Finals packs run on priority turnaround so you're never waiting the week of a big game.
Yes — one full teardown, no card, no catch. You see exactly what you're buying before you spend a cent.
No. The public-data tier covers everyone. If you already have Synergy or FastScout, bring your login and I'll add play-type and shot data (+50% on any pack). Your data stays yours.
A one-page coach brief — the one thing that decides the game, projected matchups, and the keys at each end — written for the bench. Add the Matchday pack and it becomes a live app for game night.
Me — Patrick O'Neill, assistant coach and analytics lead at Geelong United, 25+ years a head coach. The model does breadth; the judgement is human, and it's mine.
