Hoop Coach: Basketball Tactics

You don't play. You decide.

Hoop Coach is a turn-based basketball tactics duel. Every possession you call a play — and the opposing coach picks a defense at the very same moment, without seeing your choice. Read them, out-think them, win the game from the bench.

FIVE PLAYS, FIVE DEFENSES Pick & Roll, Three, Attack the Rim, Ball Movement and Isolation, against Man to Man, Zone, Full-Court Press, Rim Protection and Close Out.

No play beats everything. Every defense leaves exactly one offense open — and the other way round. There is no safe button to press twice.

THE OPPONENT READS YOU Repeat a call and the rival coach notices and starts punishing it. Keep changing, or set a trap: run something twice, let them adjust, then hit the play that beats the coverage they just switched to.

COACH THE WHOLE GAME Fatigue drains your players' ratings possession by possession. Five fouls and a starter is gone. The clock rewards long possessions when you lead and quick ones when you trail. Call timeouts, make substitutions, and know which plays actually suit your roster — that is where games are won.

WATCH IT UNFOLD Every play is drawn on the court. See the screen being set, the ball swinging, the defense packing the paint. Then watch the shot: it drops, rattles out, or gets rejected at the rim.

PICK YOUR LENGTH Three-minute quarters for a five-minute game on a coffee break, or full twelve-minute quarters for real basketball scores.
