I've been working with the league on this already - I've known the guy they refer to as "Statman" for 20 years or so. He's been involved with the league even longer than I have, I think. (I started in 1990)

As to this project - he helped me with some of the information from the most recent decade...and I've helped the NBL correct their records on a few things too.

If Statsman74 was from the league he'd be working on a United/Tigers research project.

(apologies if a double post, my first one seemed to disappear)

Thanks for the responses so far;

Anon-
That link takes you to a game that is already on the NBL site. Unfortunately that only is for the 2nd half, and the information I need is essentially who started, who came on the court and when - so having watched through the whole second half it isn't clear what those answers were.

Statman84-
SportsTg was one of the sites I have used extensively, and combined with NBL Media guides and other resources was the backbone of one aspect of the project.

The link you have provided does take you to a place to find the games, but that again doesn't tell me who started etc.

For example - the Frankston game referenced above by Anon - here is the link;

https://websites.sportstg.com/round_info.cgi?action=MATCH&fixture=500765499&c=0-189-12314-125724-369909&pool=0

I can see the 3 debutants are featured on the box score, but this doesn't tell me if any of them started, and the sequence they hit the court during the game. I'm not prepared to guess, as that undermines the integrity of the work.

Only actual footage or first hand knowledge can really resolve that.

This link might help - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWLZzhU4PNQ

It shows highlights from the 1983 season opener at Perry Lakes vs Frankston. It's an excerpt from the first week of the ABC's weekly highlights coverage for the 1983 NBL season.

Looks like the bobcats may soon become the hornets again. I like the move, the hornets name is much better than bobcats and has so much more history behind it.
