System and methods for providing a user key performance indicators for basketball

A method of assisting a referee in officiating a basketball game, implemented in a system comprising:

• a transparent board having a front surface and a rear surface;
• a hoop operably coupled to the transparent board, wherein the hoop rim defines a plane that is perpendicular to the board;
• a sensing module coupled to the board, wherein the sensing module is adapted to trace a course of a ball over a predetermined voxel;
• a basketball game time administration means;
• and a processing module, in communication with at least one of:
• the sensing module, the board and the rim, and the basketball game time administration means, the processing module having a central processing unit in communication with a non-volatile memory having thereon a processor-readable medium with a set of executable instructions configured, when executed by at least one processor, to:
• track the course of the ball within the predetermined voxel;
• determine the location of the center of the ball;
• trace the ball center within the predetermined voxel;
• determine the ball center location relative to the hoop rim;
• determine the planar location of the ball center in relation to the hoop's rim plane where the ball center crosses;
• plotting a time versus location of the ball center in relation to the hoop's rim;
• once the ball passes the hoop's rim beyond a threshold defined by the user, determine a shot was blocked determine goal tending;
• and determine board shaking, the method comprising providing at least one of:
• the referee, and the basketball game time administration means, at least one of:
• a. an indication of goal tending;
• b. an indication of the time the ball center passes the hoop rim beyond a user-defined threshold;
• c. an indication a player has blocked a shot beyond the ball center reaching an apogee;
• d. an indication a player hit the transparent backboard.
