Abstract: An apparatus including a data acquisition device, a processing unit, a memory and an output device. The data acquisition device obtains at least one attribute of a shot of a basketball towards a basket. The at least one attribute is sensed by at least one sensor carried by the basketball or derived from signal output by the at least one sensor. The memory contains instructions to direct the processing unit to determine whether the shot is a made basket shot or a missed basketball shot by comparing the at least one attribute of the shot to one or more predetermined signature characteristics of a made basket. The output device presents output to a person based on the determination of whether the shot is a made basket shot or a missed basket shot.

Abstract: A system and method are operable to receive one or more audio visual streams from an event, collect statistics related to the event, and collect location data of objects related to the event, store the audio visual streams, collected statistics, and collected location data as data elements in files in a memory, combine the data elements into a common time line for analysis of the event, and provide a user interface for presenting one or more synchronized views of the audio visual streams, collected statistics, and collected location data on the common time line.
