The BT Basketball Assistant is like a second controller that synchronizes with the main BT Controller. Assistants help control scoreboard and clock devices in addition to the main user using the BT Controller. To use, connect to the BT Assistant using the BT Controller app, then you're ready to go! The BT Controller may connect to as many BT Assistants as needed, allowing a full team of users to help control the Scoreboard and Shotclocks simultaneously during a basketball game or practice.
The interface is exactly the same as the main BT Controller. The interface is extremely clean and intuitive, everything is directly touch or swipe based. Clearly labeled controller buttons are also added for those that prefer a button interface. Thoroughly tested in our basketball leagues, the BT Assistant app is easy to learn and new assistants can be helping to run the time and score for a basketball game in no time.
