title: Empirical verification of the weighted system of criteria for the elite basketball players quality evaluation.
abstract: This article is a continuation of research aimed at formation of a system of criteria for the expert evaluation of the basketball players' actual quality. So far, the external standards for assessing players' performance have been defined and described and the relative importance coefficients of each criterion for the performance evaluation per positions in the game have been established as well. The purpose of this research was to test empirically the latter--the weighted system of criteria for evaluating the actual quality of basketball players proposed by Trninić and Dizdar (2000). Based on the determined descriptive indicators and the coefficients of importance of criteria, and on the degree of the objectivity level (interobservers' agreement) of the expert evaluations, it can be concluded that the measuring attributes (objectivity and sensitivity) for most of the criteria are in accordance with their relative importance coefficients for a particular position in the game. Consequently, the structure of the relevant criteria for each play position in the basketball is proposed.
