STATISTICIANS

 Become A Statistician

A Basketball Statistician is a game official who is responsible for recording all actions for both teams during a game. There are at least 2 Statisticians officiating at each game – one Statistician (the Caller) calls all the actions on court to the second Statistician (the Computer Operator), who inputs these actions into the computer. A third Statistician may also be present, known as the “Spotter” and their role is to clarify or pick up missed actions by the Caller.

To become a statistician, you must be 14 years or older and have a basic knowledge of basketball. Some experience with computers is also an advantage.

Prospective Statisticians are required to complete an eight hour Statistician’s Course incorporating “Level 1 Statistician” accreditation and learning to use the computerised basketball statistics program.

After you have achieved you Level 1 and Computer Course accreditation, and practiced officiating at a few games, you are ready to begin your new position as a Basketball Statistician. Your accreditation is recognised Australia wide.
