What make this scouting report different from others?
The Billing Scouting Report is different from other scouting reports for a variety of reasons.
First, The Billing Scouting Report is made by putting college coaches first. We give you what you want. We pride ourselves in providing accurate information. We give you the correct, actual, and accurate height and weight of each player, with their name and school correctly spelled.
Second, The Billing Scouting Report gives you and in-depth review of each player, including their strengths and weaknesses on the floor, a complete talent review (speed, shot ability, scoring ability), an honest, non-biased review of their work ethic, defensive strength and weaknesses, what offensive and defensive systems they work best in, and their projected playing level in college.
We do not take the easy way out and give you two words about each player. No, our reviews are detailed, accurate, reliable, and non-biased.
Third, we do not overflow our report with hundreds of worthless pictures, and put out pictures on a higher priority than the actual scouting report. No, we moderate how many pictures are in our report, and we do not focus on pictures like other reports.
Fourth, we can be easily contacted. (See Can the publishers be easily contacted if I need information on a player?)
Fifth, our website (www.bllingscoutingservice.com) is easily negotiable and designed to give information on players to you, the coach. It is not designed to "look cool" or be "fan friendly". (Please note: due to failed negations with Billings, Montana, our website name is spelled bllingscoutingreport.com. Please note that Billing is spelled ‘blling’, with the first ‘i’ in billing excluded.
Sixth, if you are interested in a player, you can notify us on the players that you may be interested in. We will then send you a weekly email and provide updates on those players during the season so you can keep up on their progress. We practice a "sealed lips" policy at the Billing Scouting Report, so no one (fans, other coaches, the players) will learn that you are looking them at from us. (See more below on reason seven)
Seventh, we fervently practice a "sealed lips" policy at The Billing Scouting Service. If you are interested in a player and wish to know more about him, or request to have weekly email reports about players, your information will remain with us.
