Looks good.
Number of fouls and Assists would be beneficial too.
Useful tool for the development of the kids for sure.
Well done.

Hi Curious

Your suggestion on additions to the Statistics System is being looked at and I propose to add 'Assists', 'Fouls' and 'Blocks' to Version 3

I am also looking at the possibility of recording 'Court Time' from which I hope to obtain some sort of 'Player Rating' for the game and for the season. This may be an addition to Version 4

Thanks for your suggestions and I hope you find the use of the Workook as rewarding for your team as it has been for mine this season

Don't want to be negative and the package you've developed looks terrific and does some stuff that LIVE STATS wont, but did you know that LIVE STATS is downloadable FREE from the FIBA site?

Its reasonably comprehensive and allows instantaneous input rather than transcription but I'm not sure it tallies over the season the way your package seems to.

Another key stat I'm trying to play with at the moment and would like to automate more is +/-. That is, the difference between the score when a player enters the court and when a player leaves the court (accumulated over the game).

I had a play during one of my daughter's games last week and it was telling to see the variation in scores. Probably can't tell a whole lot from the one game but I'd be interested to see trends over the year. Scores in this particular 6-point win ranged from -2 to +18.

Does anybody have a system fro keeping this stat?

where on the fiba site is this available

also- can i use the livestats program from fiba- to track only my team?

I would like to receive this workbook please

Thanks Bobby

Downloads still working in august!

Thanks Aussie Coach
Our season here in Scotland starts in mid September and I hope to add 'ASSISTS' and 'BLOCKS' to the workbook before then. So I better get a move on.

When I finish the additions to the workbook I will place it in the same file sharing folder for anyone to use. It will be shown as Version 3

Ankles, following your comments regarding the Livestats FIBA program I downloaded Livestats (L/Stats) from the FIBA website and after 3 downloads and 1 uninstall I managed to get it to run. MY FAULT. If all else fails refer to the manual which states that if your operating system is Vista, which mine is, then you have to tell L/Stats to run thro' the Administrator each time you use it. Problem solved.
Now up and running and using the operating manual, I set up the program and ran it with input from an imaginary game and at the end produced a set of statistics. L/Stats stats were very similar to those produced by my program (MProg) with L/Stats having Court Time as an extra and MProg having Layup and Charges stats as extras. L/Stats also produces a Game Analysis giving stats for "Fast Break Pts", "Pts from Turnovers", "Biggest Lead" etc which can highlight to the coach some strengths/weaknesses in the team.
A comparison of the two programs from my short period of time (approx 2hrs) using L/Stats, is as follows
L/Stats Advantages:-
1. A professional looking real time system producing readily available stats
2. Game analysis stats produced
L/Stats Disadvantages:-
1. More complex system requiring considerable familiarisation time to learn and be able to keep up with the pace of a game
2. If the regular stats person is unavailable, it would be extremely difficult for someone else to operate the system
MProg Advantages:-
1. A simple system allowing any willing person, asst coach/parent, to collect data during a game.
2. Stats from up to 30 games (a season) are combined to produce Players'/Team's Totals and Averages/Game throughout the season
MProg Disadvantages:-
1. Data collection at games must be inputed into an Excel spreadsheet at a later time, thus not being a real time system
2. No Game Analysis is made

Having tried Livestats, although for a short time, I am of the opinion that there is a niche for my program in the basketball world. It is suitable for those who require a simple stats program to produce a good range of stats and can be operated by a wide range of people associated with a Club with minimum familiarisation/learning time

Yes, I would love to look at the free excel basketball statistics workbook
