XCIV.ai Joins the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association as Corporate Partner
AI coaching platform brings game planning, scouting, and player development tools to Missouri's 500+ basketball-playing schools and 1,700+ member coaches.
COLBY, Kan. — XCIV.ai, the AI-powered coaching platform built for the working basketball coach, today announced its partnership with the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association (MBCA) as a corporate partner. The collaboration gives XCIV.ai access to one of the largest coaching communities in the Midwest — and gives Missouri coaches AI scouting and game-planning tools previously out of reach for programs without dedicated analytics staff.
Founded in 1985, the MBCA serves more than 1,700 member coaches across the state, supporting them through the annual Fall Clinic, the Norm Stewart Classic, the Midwest Showcase, mentor programming, and a full slate of recognition programs including the Hall of Fame, All-State selections, Academic All-State, and Mr. and Miss Show-Me Basketball.
"We tell our players if you're not improving, you're falling behind — that applies to coaching too," said Denny Hunt, Executive Director of the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association. "Our members are always looking for tools that give them an edge without breaking the budget. XCIV.ai does that. It meets coaches where they are and makes the prep work smarter, not harder. That's exactly the kind of resource we want connected to our membership. I think this one works."
What XCIV.ai Brings to Missouri 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 Missouri
Since launching in April 2026, XCIV.ai has grown from 52 coaches in 23 states to 135 coaches across 34 states. The MBCA partnership marks the platform's deliberate push into Missouri ahead of the 2026–27 season.
Missouri is the natural next step. It's 500 schools and 1,700 coaches working the same way — budgets are tight and staffs are small. The MBCA is how you reach them the right way — through their own association, not around it.
