BASKETBALL STATISTICS SPREADSHEETS & WORKBOOKS
Hi, I am Bob Morrison, an over 80 years old grandfather, based in Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland. I have been following the basketball careers of my three grandsons for many years, playing with their middle school, high school, college, university, local, national league and national teams.
During this time I have been keeping stats for some of these teams, including the West Lothian Wolves teams, using Excel spreadsheets/workbooks. Collecting players' actions during games can be done by willing parents or an assistant coach using a simple tick sheet. This data can then be entered into a workbook of spreadsheets to produce a range of totals, averages and percentage figures for the players and the team.
Do you collect team and player stats from your games? If you do then you will be well aware of their value in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of individual players and the team. If not, why not consider collecting stats during this or the coming season. They will take away subjective judgements on what has happened during games and highlight what needs improving and what the coach needs to concentrate on during practice/training sessions.
I have developed and used Excel Stats Workbooks for many years and following requests and suggestions from Coaches, the workbooks have been modified many times, producing a range of stats workbooks with a variety of features. I am now offering these workbooks, free to anyone who is interested in trying them out, as free downloads from this website.
Thanks to all the Coaches who have, over the years, provided me with ideas for the workbooks, suggested improvements and who have tested them out for me.
Please feel free to pass these stats spreadsheet files and details of this website to others.
Finally many thanks to those who gave a donation to my club, the West Lothian Wolves, which has helped to promote and develop basketball in our area. Best wishes to all and success with your teams and basketball coaching.
