Generalization to other sports #1

Hi @TomDecroos Have you thought about generalizing this package for other sports -- basketball, lawn tennis, badminton, squash, etc?

TomDecroos commented 4 years ago

Hi @agdhruv I think some of the code could be reusable for other sports. This package was built from my experience of working with and visualizing soccer data. I have no experience with data from other sports however. I think I would have to also work with data from other sports first before being able to generalize this package to other sports. :-)

@TomDecroos haha, sure. I meant that a "canvas" may be built for plotting match details for such sports just by using the standard court/field measurements for these sports (without having to work with data from these sports). In addition, I would definitely be interested in work with data from other sports (if you have some ideas).
