Basketball Playmaker

The Basketball Playmaker (iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch) is a revolutionary tool for coaches, scouts, press and fans . . . enabling basketball plays to be digitally created and saved for future reference.

Modeled after the ubiquitous coach's whiteboard, the Basketball Playmaker provides offense and defense avatars that can be dragged around the screen (the court) to simulate plays and formations. As plays are designed, the system stores movement, passes and shots and the associated track lines. Plays can be saved and played back at any time (during a timeout, a practice or a bench conversation). Snapshots of these plays can be made with a click of a button and the resulting "photo" can be emailed and/or filed as needed.

The Basketball Playmaker has hundreds of predefined formation combinations (i.e. 1-2-3 defense vs. post offense, or man to man vs. perimeter, etc.). The court can be specified as anything from predefined NBA to International to NCAA to High School to Middle School layouts . . . and the court itself can be sized and scrolled via the iPad/iPhone pinch gesture. Player avatars are represented with standard 1 through 5 nomenclatures; letters (PG, SG, SF, PF, C); uniform numbers or even player names. In addition, the color of the player avatars as well as the court itself is totally in control of the user.

Designed by a software designer with 25 years of experience as a programmer and as a coach . . . the Basketball Playmaker is designed for the large iPad screen. It is also compatible with the iPhone/iPod Touch but note . . . their small screens can present some challenges.

The Basketball Playmaker is a serious tool for those that are serious about basketball.
