   Hello everybody, welcome to the demonstration.

2. 03

   So here we're going to open up our software, go to sports,

3. 05

   and then you're going to pick sport.

4. 07

   I'll go ahead and choose basketball here and we'll go and select D1

5. 10

   college basketball.

6. 11

   You can select your team.

7. 12

   I'm going to pick Santa Clara because that's my alma mater.

8. 15

   And then you can select your year.

9. 17

   We'll do last year to make sure that all the stats are filled

10. 19

    in since I'm recording this on August the 25th.

11. 23

    So I'll go ahead and click run.

12. 25

    This is going to load in all of our data for basketball

13. 29

    for Santa Clara.

14. 30

    And then you go ahead and click Open Excel.

15. 33

    What that's going to do is it's going to open up this Excel

16. 35

    file here for you and what you're going to see is your spotting

17. 39

    board. So up here in the top left,

18. 41

    team name with the color of the school and then here's some

19. 45

    records, splits home away, last 10 games,

20. 48

    last game, what happened, if they have a next game,

21. 51

    it'll tell you who the opponent is as well.

22. 53

    Here you have the stadium and then the head coach along

23. 57

    with their assistants.

24. 59

    Again, head coach, how many years they've been with the school and as

25. 01:03

    a head coach in D1.

26. 01:04

    And then same thing, their record with the school that they're at and

27. 01:07

    then their record in Division 1.

28. 01:09

    This is for notes in the last game.

29. 01:11

    These are two notes boxes for the team.

30. 01:14

    Here are team stats.

31. 01:16

    On the left side of this parenthesis you'll have overall stats and

32. 01:21

    then in parenthesis it'll be conference.

33. 01:22

    And then here, same thing, national ranking and then conference

34. 01:26

    ranking for each of those stats.

35. 01:28

    Come down and look at one of these player boxes.

36. 01:31

    You'll have number, name,

37. 01:33

    all the where they're from, kind of biographic

38. 01:37

    data, height, weight, position, etc.

39. 01:41

    Here you have all their stats.

40. 01:42

    If you see parentheses, that means,

41. 01:45

    for example, Allen Graves is third in points on Santa Clara.

42. 01:48

    If there was a little dash there and then another number, it would

43. 01:51

    tell you what ranking he is nationally.

44. 01:53

    And then you come over here and you can see what their last

45. 01:56

    game was, what the day was, who they played,

46. 01:59

    where it was, and what the stats are

47. 02:03

    for that player.

48. 02:04

    And then in the bottom box you have their career highs in points,

49. 02:08

    rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals along with

50. 02:12

    free throws and three-pointers made.

51. 02:14

    So this applies for the top 10 players on the list

52. 02:18

    and then you'll have an extra one,

53. 02:21

    two,

54. 02:21

    three, four spots for up to a 14-man roster where you can

55. 02:25

    add players.

56. 02:26

    Here Santa Clara in 25-26 only had 12 players

57. 02:30

    which is why there's nothing in this right box and then this gives

58. 02:33

    you space as well to write in notes for each of these players.

59. 02:38

    Come down here on the right you're going to see your standings for

60. 02:40

    the conference and then that's going to include a conference record,

61. 02:44

    overall record,

62. 02:47

    On the left, you'll see the schedule for the team.

63. 02:52

    It'll give you the date and time, what kind of game it was.

64. 02:55

    So if I scroll down here, you can see it also counts conference

65. 02:58

    tournament or NCAA games.

66. 03:01

    It'll tell you what the opponent is, the score

67. 03:05

    of the game, and color code based on if they won or lost,

68. 03:08

    the record with their winning streak at the time,

69. 03:11

    and the arena that it was played in.

70. 03:15

    And just so you can see here this does also work for overtime

71. 03:18

    it'll tell you if it goes to overtime it'll tell you if it

72. 03:19

    goes to multiple overtimes keep scrolling down here we can look back

73. 03:23

    at the right you get all the team season highs sometimes they're bad

74. 03:26

    so that's why turnovers highlighted red and then team season lows

75. 03:29

    sometimes they're good that's why it's green here instead of red all

76. 03:32

    over here come back to the left side look at the streaks and

77. 03:34

    splits section I'm not going to take too long to explain this but

78. 03:38

    basically you look at this this tells you what the record is so

79. 03:41

    for example this year I'm calling a Santa Clara game the last game

80. 03:44

    they scored over 90 points against Oregon State so I

81. 03:48

    can quickly say oh that was the 10th time they scored 90 points

82. 03:51

    in a game and they're 9-0 I guess at the time now

83. 03:55

    10-0 doing that.

84. 03:58

    Same thing record here with games decided by X amount of possessions

85. 04:01

    and then these are points by period.

86. 04:04

    Keep scrolling you can get a team roster and

87. 04:08

    the full season stats and then move over here

88. 04:12

    and you can see last 10 years

89. 04:15

    of coaching, some miscellaneous achievements,

90. 04:19

    if that interests you as well.

91. 04:21

    So that's pretty much it.
