B-Ball Subs takes the stress out of managing substitutions during basketball games. Instead of scrambling to track who's been on and off the court, generate a complete rotation plan before the game starts. Every player gets their fair share of court time — calculated automatically so you can focus on coaching, not maths. Manage multiple teams, track game progress in real time, and handle unplanned injuries or swaps mid-game without losing track of who's played how long. - **Fair rotation generator** — automatically calculates substitution schedules so every active player gets equal court time - **Multiple teams** — save separate rosters for each team you coach, switch between them instantly - **Configurable game length** — set your half duration to match your competition format - **Player management** — add up to 10 players, toggle active/inactive, reorder the list - **Randomise order** — shuffle the player list to vary who starts each game - **Game progress tracking** — tap rotation rows during the game to follow along; an animated timeline chevron shows where you are - **Unscheduled substitutions** — record mid-game emergency swaps with the floating "Unscheduled Sub" button; specify the players and clock time, and playtime is recalculated automatically - **Playtime summary** — see exact court time for each player in MM:SS format after generating - **Persistent rosters** — player lists and team settings are saved locally between sessions

HoopScape is the modern practice planner and play designer for basketball coaches — built by a coach, for coaches. Design game-realistic drills, plan your sessions, and run them straight from your phone. No clipboards, no spreadsheets, no whiteboard photos that never quite make it into a usable plan. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Sketch plays on an interactive basketball court. Drag players, defenders, the ball, and cones onto the court, animate motion across time, and replay your design. • Build a drill library you can reuse across the season. Every play you draw is saved as a drill you can tag by kind and variability, bookmark for quick recall, and pull into any practice. • Plan practices in one place. Drop drills into a session, set durations, reorder with a long-press, and see your total minutes update live. • Schedule weekly recurring practices or one-off sessions. Edit a single occurrence — this Thursday's practice starts late — without breaking the rest of the series. Skip an occurrence when you have a road game. • Run practice on the court with a guided timer, a whistle, and notes you can capture mid-practice. Run mode keeps the screen awake so your phone is a usable bench companion. • Take notes anywhere — on a drill, on a practice, on a single session. Notes stay put, so you can look back at what actually worked last Tuesday. • Share a drill or a whole practice with a link. Send it to an assistant, a parent, or another coach — no account needed to open it, and you can revoke the link whenever you want. • Post drills to the community feed, and pull other coaches' work into your own library when something catches your eye. BUILT BY A COACH HoopScape is built by a working basketball coach. Every tool in it — the play designer, the drill library, the practice planner, run mode — exists because a practice needed it, not because it looked good on a feature list.
