COLBY, Kan. — XCIV.ai, the AI-powered coaching platform built for the working basketball coach, today announced it has joined the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) as a corporate partner. The partnership gives XCIV.ai direct access to one of the most storied basketball coaching communities in the country — and gives Indiana coaches access to AI game planning tools that didn't exist at their budget level until now.

Indiana is home to more than 400 IHSAA member schools and a basketball culture that runs deeper than almost any state in the country. The IBCA, founded in 1970, produces the Indiana All-Star Games, the Top 100 Showcases, the annual Spring Clinic, and a coaching awards system spanning five decades.

Indiana is basketball. There is no coaching community in the country where the game matters more at the high school level. Joining the IBCA is the right way to earn trust — by showing up, supporting the association, and letting the platform speak for itself.

— Zack Odell, Founder & CEO

What XCIV.ai Brings to Indiana Coaches

AI Game Plans. Upload a box score or scouting report. The AI builds a complete game plan — offensive adjustments, defensive matchups, practice focus. Export to PDF or Google Docs.

Document Parsing. Photograph a scorebook. Upload a PDF roster. Drop in a Hudl spreadsheet. XCIV.ai reads it and structures it — no manual data entry.

Player Development. AI-generated training programs personalized to each player's strengths and weaknesses, with curated YouTube drill links.

Opponent Intel. Scouting notes and stats compound over time. Opponent profiles carry forward season to season. Your intel library grows every year.

Roster & Schedule. Multi-team roster management, schedule builder with tournament support, and season rollover tools.

Why Indiana

XCIV.ai launched in April 2026 and now serves more than 52 coaches across 23 states. Indiana has the highest concentration of any state — coaches who found us before we found them. Joining the IBCA as a corporate partner is the natural next step: formalize a relationship with the coaching community that already showed up.

When you see Indiana coaches adopting your platform faster than any other state, you pay attention. The IBCA sets the standard for what a state coaching association should be. Our coaches in Indiana told us this is where we belong. The partnership makes it official.
