BB_Tablet

BB Tablet is an electronic tablet application for basketball coaches. It is a multi-featured app that allows the coach to diagram offensive plays, defensive sets, offensive sets, out-of-bounds plays, press breakers, and many more basketball maneuvers for players. The built-in "SAVE" feature allows each diagram to be saved on the local SD card of the Android phone, 7" tablet or 10" tablet computer. The files are saved in the .png format as "date" followed by the "number sequence of each drawing" (eg. 20114121, 20114122, etc.) which is March 12, 2011 #1 and #2. These files are viewable via Gallery, Astro or other picture viewer, and are printable via HP iphoto or other. The built-in "CLEAR" button allows the user to erase the current screen and start a new diagram. The 4 colored buttons provide drawing offensive positions (Black), defensive positions (Red), basktetball (Tan with Blue back), and offensive "picks" (Green). The user can draw simple diagrams or diagrams with more complexity including ball movement and picks. The more experience with the app, the more complex the diagrams can become; taking into account the level of the players being taught. The screen is drawn in a fixed landscape mode is probably more useful on Android tablet computers than phones. In addition to being useful in game conditions, the app can provide hours of fun drawing and saving new play creations or defensive sets.
