A comprehensive manual of basketball statistics.

Abstract

This manual was designed for individuals involved with teaching courses in basketball dealing with theory, technique, and coaching, of which record-keeping techniques are a vital component. Definitions and regulations concerning the tabulating of basketball statistics are presented along with illustrations and suggestions by which the data may be recorded and organized for future rapid retrieval. Continuous statistics kept during the game, individual records, team records, and miscellaneous information useful in team publicity guides are viewed in an in-depth manner.

The manual concludes with a self-evaluation section. Questions and selected computations drawn from information contained in the earlier chapters are included to determine if the reader has internalized the data.
