Assessment of Coaches Using Data Envelopment Analysis and Analytical Hierarchy Process

Abstract:

This paper presents three models as a potential decision making method for selecting the best baseball, field hockey, and women’s basketball NCAA Division I coaches. Five indicators, synthesized coaching efficiency, winning percentage, consecutive championship, achievement index and gender, are introduced to give a comprehensive evaluation of coaching ability. The preliminary served as a filter model to screen out less capable coaches and a robust ranking within top 10 is achieved. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model takes the time line horizon into consideration, and helps find less efficient coaches. By comparing the first two models, we obtain a reasonable assessment of coaches from different time period. Finally, by applying the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), minor changes in judgment matrices can be made to adjust the ratio of male to female in the top 5 coaches.
