Coding Moves 101

Coding moves 101

This is our Director of Basketball Operations Adrian doing one of his drills to show his athletes again. We created a game to show how to create the list of moves Adrian is doing using python. I look forward to hearing everyones feedback.

BTE Trainer Coding Game

Game: How do you play? First, we have to teach you the rules.

• BTE Sequence = BTE Combo X Number of times the combo was done

• The BTE Dribble Score has three different ways of calculation that is dependent on if the combo is a one, two, or three dribble sequence

  • BTE Dribble Score = (BTE dribble#) X Number of times the combo was done
  • BTE Dribble Score = (BTE dribble# + BTE dribble#) X Number of times the combo was done
  • BTE Dribble Score = (BTE dribble# + BTE dribble# + BTE dribble#) X Number of times the combo was done

• BTE_Coding_Moves_Question
  • How many times does he do the BTE Combo 324 sequence and what is his BTE Dribble Score?
• 

We only code the BTE Combo to get the BTE Dribble Score. There are tradational dribbles, a full combo, and a BTE combo.

• Dribbles = 1, 3, 2, 4
  • Every individual dribble
• Full Combo = 1324
  • A combo of dribbles within the full sequence of a move
• BTE Combo = 324
  • The 3 core attacking dribble normally at the end of the sequence to create a move

After watching Coach Adrian this is what I entered as my first line of code.

• 

Here are an example of each of the dribbles Coach Adrian did.

• 3 In & Out dribble where you fake a crossover dribble using one hand
• 2 Crossover dribble where you change hands with the dribble in front of your body
• 4 Between the legs where the ball goes from one hand to the other with the ball landing between your legs exchanging hands

Coding Sequence

Create a list

• This is what a list looks like. Adrian does 1 combo so we add that next into the brackets
• Combo1 = []

Put your value into the list

• He does a 3(In & Out dribble), 2(Crossover), 4(Between the legs) BTE combo
• Combo1 = [324]
• 

Multiply the list to get the exact amout of times the trainer does the move

• He did the 324 BTE Combo 7 times so we multiplied the list times 7 to get our answer for the sequences
• Combo1 = [324]*7

Print the result

• He did the combo 7 times so the combo should be printed 7 times
• [324, 324, 324, 324, 324, 324, 324) -

Coding BTE Dribble Score

Here is the answer to coding Coach Adrians BTE Dribble Score below.

Create a list

• This is what a list looks like. Adrian does 1 combo so we add that next into the brackets
• Combo1 = []

Put your value into the list

• He does a 3(In & Out dribble), 2(Crossover), 4(Between the legs) BTE combo
• Combo1 = [3+2+4]
• 

Multiply the list to get the exact amout of times the trainer does the move

• He did the 324 BTE Combo 3 times perfectly so we multiply by that number
• Combo1 = [3+2+4]*3

Print the result

• He did the combo 3 times so the combo should be printed 7 times
• [9, 9, 9)

Then you have to set everything to Combo1Total

• Now we are totaling up the score
• Combo1Total = Combo1 = [3+2+4]*3
• print(Combo1)

Last you add up the totals through using Combo1Total

• You use the sum() method to total everything up
• sum(Combo1Total)

This is his actual answer where he messes up at 4 so his score at 3. So his score is below.
