We have often heard that scheduling is one of the tasks coaches would rather not have to deal with. The introduction of NPI to the Division III landscape has only led to further confusion, questions and obstacles for coaches to navigate as they seek to put together a schedule to best put their program in a position for success. We can help.
We are pleased to announce a new premium service available to all Division III men’s and women’s basketball programs: D3 Datacast Concierge.

You may have heard us give the advice to “schedule where you are” to help make the most of your NPI. No matter whether you have goals to secure an at-large tournament bid, put yourself in position for hosting or a Top 8 protected seed or are trying to build into those kinds of goals, it is to the benefit of each program and their conference to make the most of their NPI potential. That starts with creating a schedule that is “just right” for your program.
D3 Datacast Concierge clients receive the following:
An individualized report with suggested opponents for scheduling
D3 Datacast Concierge goes beyond the general advice to “schedule where you are” by presenting specific suggestions in a report customized for your program to help you identify the best targets for your future schedules.
Powered by the D3 Datacast efficiency ratings and informed by historical NPI results, each customized report features a conference analysis and suggested non-conference opponents for “scheduling where you are” based on other programs in your area as well as nationally. Area and national lists are presented based on data from the prior year and prior three years averages. (View an anonymized example report)
