Request For: College Basketball
Request Title: Situation Script in PBP
Description
I would like to add a script piece in the PBP of college basketball that tells which situational commands are being used at different times in the game. That way we know when certain situations are kicking in during the game and when situation settings switch in-game. This will help with team evaluation and game situation evaluation/effectiveness.
(Example script:
Oklahoma substitutes Holland (80%) for Stoot (93%) at C .
Oklahoma playing 2-3 zone defense Using late/close
Iowa St playing matchup zone defense Using late/close
Another example:
Oklahoma substitutes Nichols (88%) for Barbour (92%) at SG, Holland (87%) for Smith (88%) at C , Smith (88%) for Williams (80%) at PF.
Iowa St substitutes Harvey (87%) for Mayhew (90%) at PG.
Oklahoma playing 3-2 zone defense Using Late/Trailing
Iowa St playing matchup zone defense Using Late/Well ahead

Admin Notes
A human-readable comment has been added to the HTML play-by-play source code indicating when teams switch situational strategies (for example, early to late and close). Note this is generally not displayed by default by most web browsers as it is not part of what is in a typical play-by-play call on TV, but is now available for coaches if they are wanting to understand why the team seemed to change strategies at a time they were not expecting.

Comments
Stephen Thompson (Mar 8 07:02:23 2021 ): Andy, to keep the noise down in the PBP, what if you just added a single comment when the playbook is changing. "N Carolina changing from Normal to Late/Ahead strategy." Unlike in CCEL, the situation in basketball doesn't change nearly so frequently.
Coach Rusty Edwards (Jun 5 13:26:19 2022 ): Yes I like it
