The founders

Two coaches. One family. One basketball app.

StatHoops is made by Hallucination Engineering LLC, a father-son company. Brian Hoffman has spent years on the youth and AAU sideline. His son, Aidin Hoffman, played AAU for years, now coaches youth basketball himself, and is head of product.

Why we built it

Running a team shouldn't take four apps and a spreadsheet.

Brian has spent years coaching youth and AAU basketball, and every season ran the same way: TeamSnap for the schedule, GameChanger for stats, a group chat for everything else, and a spreadsheet that was out of date by the second tournament. None of it talked to each other, and none of it was built for basketball first.

Coaches lost their Sunday nights to data entry. Players had no real record of their own seasons. Parents chased the same information across three apps just to find out where the next game was.

So we built the app we wanted. Brian knew the problems from the coach's seat. Aidin knew them from the court, after years of AAU, and now from his own bench as a youth coach. He designed and built the tools for running whole rec leagues and AAU clubs, tests every feature we make, and leads business development and marketing.

StatHoops now runs on the web, iPhone, and Android. Coaches use it to track stats live, turn a photo of a paper scorebook into a box score, clip film, draw plays, plan practices, run tryouts, and keep the schedule and team chat in one place. Players get a career profile they can share.

Aidin Hoffman

Aidin Hoffman is co-founder and head of product at Hallucination Engineering LLC, the company behind StatHoops, and a senior at Oakton High School.

He designed and built StatHoops' rec league and AAU club management tools, the part of the product that runs a whole organization instead of a single team. With them, a director can open registration, set up seasons and divisions, draft balanced teams, schedule games across gyms and courts, and run AAU tryout week from a phone. Aidin also leads test and evaluation for every feature in StatHoops, and runs business development and marketing.

He knows the game from both sides of the bench. Aidin played basketball for years, including AAU, and now coaches youth basketball competitively. He builds StatHoops for the players and families on the other end of the app, not just the adult holding the clipboard.
