I think you are correct Macdub. Imports seem to be a lot more religious than the general population. Might be an American thing, but might just be basketball. From Adelaide's perspective, some of the previous players we had: Winitaro (sorry about spelling) who was from NZ and a devout Seventh Day Aventist, Troy De Vries, Aaron Bruce just a few from the top of the head. But an over whelming majority of imports have been more religious than the average Aussie.

It is probably a vehicle to get more high quality imports more than anything.
Over the years a lot of imports i have met have been quite religious.
Little things like that can really influence an import's decision where to play. (Well i suppose in some cases its a big thing rather than a little thing for some players).

Nah, a lot of the results of that trip have been related to off-court things. In particular game-night entertainment stuff.
Which is helpful when the team time-warps to the worse games of 12/13 season.

As a grandfather very interested in basketball, I have been keeping the Player and Team statistics for the games that my three grandsons play in. Capturing these statistics of actions during a game has helped their coaches to identify the strengths and weaknesses of individual players and the team. This has allowed them to concentrate on improving weaknesses and using the strengths of players and the team when planning team tactics and suitable plays.
I have used the an Excel Workbook during this season and it can be found along with an information sheet in a folder at
http://www.4shared.com/dir/12864290/e5748e9b/sharing.html (Use Version 2)
Although the Workbook is a freebie, it is simple to use and works out a range of totals , averages and efficiency figures for the players and the team. Give it a go and you will be the coaches friend for life.
I designed the Workbook so I would like feedback from any users on any difficulties on using it and suggestions for improvements
