Technology promises great potential to improve quality of coaching in sports. There are few studies that have been conducted on the extent to which coaches use technology in coaching basketball in Zimbabwe. This study sought to investigate the extent to which basketball coaches have embraced technology in their coaching. Data for the study were obtained from a sample of basketball coaches in Bulawayo who were interviewed online on their understanding of basketball sports coaching technology (BSCT), and the degree to which they have applied it in their coaching. The responses obtained were analyzed thematically using the interview questions as the clustering themes and summarized around knowledge of basketball sports technology and utilization of that technology.
