Sunday Night PureShooter League...
*** Postponed ***
LoneStar Basketball Academy will be proto-typing a small, 5-week, PureShooter
League on Sunday nights during the month of June. The league will be
composed of 6 teams of 3 shooters per team. These teams will compete each
week, head-to-head, in a round-robin league schedule at the LBA Development Lab
located at St.Paul Lutheran Church/School. The PureShooter game
(developed by LoneStar Basketball Academy) will be the performance metric used for
competition and statistical tracking. League player/team rankings will be maintained,
and player/team scores and averages tracked. All games will be sanctioned by LoneStar
Basketball Academy and scoring achievements will be eligible for the
PureShooter Highs recognition page on the LBA website.
League awards will also be offered for team and individual finishes.

If not enough teams commit to allow league play, then league schedules will be postponed until
a more appropriate time, and Sunday nights in June will be used for PureShooter "Open Play".

Dartfish Champion - Texas
LoneStar Basketball Academy has upgraded our Dartfish
Trainer software to the TeamPro version allowing us to apply extraordinary
video replay and analysis techniques to accelerate skill development and performance for the
serious athlete. The new Tagging capability supports game video analysis, and facilitates
production of custom game-action highlights for follow-on evaluation and review. As a Dartfish
Champion for Texas, we seek to pioneer and promote effective application of this new technology in
the field of basketball training. Check the Online Video
page for some Dartfish basketball training clips.
Pictured here is a custom Dartfish video workstation designed by Rick Allison (founder
of LoneStar Basketball Academy). It is basically a "turnkey" system with integrated
video projector and large portable on-court video screen. With two gigabyte of
RAM memory in the HP Pavilion dv9010us 1.81 GigaHertz laptop, a "live" continuous video delay greater
than 45 seconds can be attained. This allows an athlete to view his or her performance
automatically following an intensity/endurance drill while the next athlete is performing the
drill. A 200 GigaByte Firewire drive and 500 GigaByte USB/Firewire drive provide ample video storage
for capturing training session performance and hosting training reference videos.

Second Shooting Ace Joins 175 Club...
The last week of July (2005) I had the opportunity to work with young Andy Garcia in Laredo at
his dad's summer Elite Basketball Academy for select high school and D-I players.
Andy's score for the first PureShooter game was a very respectable 129, but the next
day he locked in and shot a record-tying 189 matching the previous high score
of Ed Palubinskas and becoming only the second PureShooter to join the "175 Club". Like Ed,
he missed a perfect game by one 3-point shot...attaining the highest PureShooter record
score of 189 points. The only way to get a higher score and still not shoot a perfect
game is to only miss one or two free throws. Click here to see his score.
Fundamental Skills...Missing in Action !!
Many young athletes today are so focused on playing in leagues and tournaments every
weekend that the athlete essentially has no "off-season" to develop better skills.
Some coaches are starting to notice.

Prof Blood and the Wonder Teams...
"Prof," as he was called by almost everyone, coached at Passaic High School in New Jersey
during the late teens and early 1920s. His squads were dubbed the "Wonder Teams" because
they won 159 consecutive games. All fans and conquered foes complimented his players for
their clean style of play and deportment.
