Who will use Statman Hoops 2005-06?
I expect my customer base for basketball to be near the same as my football base . . . mostly high school statisticians, coaches, boosters, fans, parents, athletic directors, scouts, and high school media (radio, internet and newspaper). But, anyone from top level professional stat crews down to junior varsity level and below can use it.  All you need is a computer and an Excel program. 

Who developed Statman Hoops 2005-06 and why?
My name is Andrew Brady.  I have worked on the stat crew for all Florida State Seminole home football games since 1996 and basketball games (men and women) since 2003.  My role on the stat crew has been spotting and providing back-up for the data-entry guy, and lately running the NCAA software.  If there is one thing that the basketball software has in common with football it is that both are very difficult to use, even for a professional!  My software is the remedy for those who don't have to use the mandated NCAA software!

Does the program include season stats? Yes! Statman Hoops 2005-06 now includes season stats for up to 30 games! 

What sort of stats does Statman Hoops 2005-06 keep?
I could list them, but it would be easier to put sample output reports on the web.  Link below for a sample box score. I used the 1/18/05 FSU upset of Wake Forest as the sample. All stats displayed are generated by the program:

How much does Statman Hoops 2005-06 cost?
Statman Hoops 2005-06, complete with season stats and numerous other upgrades costs only $25.  Why is the program so cheap?  Developing the Statman software is quickly becoming an enjoyable hobby for me. Now with football and basketball done, I hope to one day start work on baseball!  I accept PayPal or check.  Click here to order now (program can be downloaded from this site).   If you are not satisfied with Statman Hoops 2005-06, let me know within 30 days, and I will return your money.

Is Statman Basketball difficult to use?
No.  Statman is very user-friendly.  All instructions, helpful hints, and cheat sheets are included in the program, but here's what you do in a nutshell:  Before the season, the statistician will enter his team's roster and schedule. For each game, he/she will enter the opponent's roster.  Most of the work is done!  Throughout the game, the user simply enters the action (shot, rebound, steal, etc.) and the program does the rest. Optionally, you can enter substitutes/times to generate minutes played. Like football, if something isn't right (whether it's your error or just a very strange play), you can simply overwrite the formula in any field to make it right.  Other programs don't allow you this feature.  On those programs, the user is required to get it right in order to proceed.  This is how you fall behind.

What are the minimum requirements for my system to run this software?
It hasn't been tested on every operating class, but it should work fine with nearly any processor. Statman Basketball should be used by licensed owners of Excel (preferably Excel 97 or better, but probably older versions as well). It works fine on either on Mac or PC, and some users have used it with a handheld device equipped with Excel.
