Basketball performance monitoring system

A method for creating indexed video snippets of a series of shots toward a goal comprising:

• synchronizing electronic clocks between a microprocessor and a remote computational system;
• measuring electronic times of a single triggering event per shot related to a ball-shooting, said times recorded by said electronic clocks within said microprocessor, which is connected to at least one sensor responsive to the ball-shooting;
• wherein said at least one sensor responsive to the ball-shooting measures the ball passing through the goal generating a goal datum, or the ball not passing through the goal generating a miss datum;
• identifying a starting time and a stopping time based on said electronic time of each of said single triggering events for each shot;
• creating indexed video snippets of shots toward the goal based on said synchronized clocks, said starting time and said ending time and said goal datum/miss datum;
• selecting one or more shots toward the goal from a chart;
• and
• viewing the corresponding one or more video snippets for the selected one or more shots toward the goal.

A system for creating and viewing indexed video snippets of a series of shots toward a goal comprising:

• at least one sensor being attached proximate the goal and directly connected to a microprocessor, said microprocessor configured to trigger responsive to a ball-shooting detection of at least one of said series of shots toward the goal;
• wherein said ball-shooting detection measures a ball passing through the goal generating a goal datum, or the ball not passing through the goal generating a miss datum;
• electronic times that represent timing by a clock within said microprocessor of a triggering event related to said ball-shooting detection;
• one or more video recordings captured by at least one recording source connected to or part of a remote computational device;
• a time synchronization based on the synchronization of said clock within said microprocessor and a clock within said remote computational device;
• wherein said electronic times and said time synchronization are utilized to associate portions of said one or more video recordings with corresponding shots toward the goal;
• said associated portions are stored as separate video snippets;
• and
• said video snippets are indexed by the corresponding the goal datum/miss datum.
