For the record, I've always wanted to produce this one particular app with my computer science buddies. If anyone wants to partner up please let me know!
There have been many apps created for basketball shot charts. A shot chart is a way to keep track of which areas on the floor both teams are making and missing shots from. Some existing shot chart apps already do this. They even track individual player scoring areas and keep statistics for points. Since such an app already exists in both the IOS and Android platforms, what you may ask can I do to make it better. Well, knowing where players are making and missing shots from is great information to have. I would like to take it a notch higher by adding an option to identify what type of defense was being played. For instance, if player #4 shoots a 3 point basket, I would like to know if he is making it when my team is in man or zone defense. I would like to have the option of being able to customize the tags for the defense. For instance, if we were playing man, was it switching, sagging, etc. If we were in zone when the basket occurred, what type of zone was it. This way, we can see what defensive scheme is working during the game. This would be a great edge for coaches. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if top NCAA teams secretly have this.
If you ever decide to make this app, please let me in on it!
