A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used to collect and analyze the research data. Interviews and expert council meetings were used to collect the research data. The research participants included university basketball experts and coaches. Experts were purposefully selected to reach the theoretical saturation (16 experts).  The research instrument was an open questionnaire. The logical induction method was used to analyze the required data in the quantitative part of the situation assessment and strategic action matrix. To analyze the required information, the Strategic Position and Action Assessment Matrix (SPACE) and the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) were used in the quantitative part, and the logical inductive method was used in the qualitative part. The strategic approach of the basketball based on the situation assessment matrix and strategic action was placed in the offensive position.
