28/01/07: Due to the growth in the number of registered members in
eBA Stats.com and daily visitors to the site and the clinics,
we are experiencing some technical difficulties with our file hosting server.
They affect the uptime availability and response time of our site...

so, it is the right moment for a time out and a player change...
For the next days, we'll be working on moving all this site to our new server: with higher processing power and more space
for each one of our four ( 4 ! ) sites ( see below ).
We are also doing some more integration work between our old files and our new editors and the new server.
In concordance with our success in the eBA ONLINE Courses & Clinics during 2006,
we are programming and developing new contents for the current academic year 2007.
Therefore, we are working hard also to keep this site operating during these weeks:
Please, stand by ! We'll return in a few days back to full speed with four new independently located sites:
eBA-Stats ~
eBA-Clinic ~
eBA-Forum and
eBA-Word... Thank You !

24/01/07: Blocked or Altered Shot ? By definition (see our Global Basketball Directory ) a blocked
shot occurs when a defensive player successfully and legally deflects a shot from an
offensive player by touching and rejecting the ball on its way to the basket, and before
it has reached its highest point, in order to prevent from a field goal.
In order to be a legal action, the block
must occur while the shot is traveling upward. It is heading downward when the
defender hits it, it is ruled a goaltending
and counts as a made basket.
We have an altered
shot when a blocker changes the shooter shot causing the shooter to miss the
basket.
At our Basketball statistics analysis system we register a Block Shot when
the ball doesn't leave the shooter's hand: Turnover for the player in possession, Steal
for the blocker; and we have an Altered Shot when the ball leaves the shooter's hand,
so we register a missed shot for the shooter & a steal - block for
the defender. .....more at

31/12/2006: Leading with the Heart 
By Mike Krzyzewski - Coach K
The book has four sections--"Preseason," "Regular Season,"
"Postseason," and "All-Season"--and each of those has four chapters.
Each chapter begins with three quotes ("Too many rules get in the way of
leadership" leads off chapter 1), and ends with bulleted tips summing up the
chapter's message. Between the quotes and the bullet points are anecdotes about Duke
Basketball games and (occasionally) Krzyzewski's life outside Basketball.
What you come away with is an understanding of why Krzyzewski is a great Basketball coach,
why former Duke assistants such as Tommy Amaker and Quinn Snyder are probably going to
become great Basketball coaches, and how anyone who's currently a coach can become a
better coach....
