I started this app as a vehicle to learn Newton Script and also help my coaching activities. Through showing it to various coaches I came to realize that it was an application which might have a market. So I have extended it far beyond its original scope and have prelim plans to add a desktop module to further the data analysis capabilities and take advantage of the greater functionality that a Mac (maybe Wintel) could offer. Feedback from the user community will dictate whether I'll start down that path. It has been about a 300 hour pain/pleasure experience and I consider it worth the effort. Marketing/informative blurb follows...



BBCNA (BasketBall Coaches Newton Assistant) is a Newton application (beta test stage) for the purpose of collecting and analyzing statistical data on a basketball game while it is in progress. Players, teams and games are all saved. Player stats include; shooting percentages, fouls, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, turnovers and playing time. Comparison screens show team and game stats. Data can be gathered by quarter or half using an efficiently designed user interface. This is the first part of a complete system which will integrate a desktop Mac (PC to follow) to do more complete analysis/prediction as well as tournament seedings and statistics. Requires a MP2000 with NOS 2.1.

Installation



Use NCU to upload BBCNA.pkg and monaco.9.pkg (needed for list analysis to display correctly)

Read the prelim docs, "bbcna.doc" (MS Word) for instruction on how to set up system (teams, players, games)

Let me know of problems at above e-mail

Thanks :-)
