Load cleaned NCAA women's college basketball play-by-play from the data repo

Description

Loads season-level NCAA women's college basketball play-by-play. One row per event, with reconstructed 5-man lineups, possession numbering, shot context (transition/paint/second-chance), and an ESPN game-id crosswalk. Produced by the sdv-py ncaa_wbb engine (stats.ncaa.org play-by-play parsed, cleaned, and enriched); backed by the ncaa-wbb-hoops-data pipeline, published to the ncaa_wbb_pbp release tag as csv.gz/parquet/rds.

Loads shot-chart events for NCAA women's college basketball – one row per field goal attempt, with court coordinates, distance, shot zone, and made/missed result. Coordinates are only available from the 2019 season onward (stats.ncaa.org did not publish shot-location data before then), so seasons has a 2019 floor even though most sibling NCAA WBB datasets start at 2010. Produced by the sdv-py ncaa_wbb engine; backed by the ncaa-wbb-hoops-data pipeline, published to the ncaa_wbb_shots release tag as csv.gz/parquet/rds.

Loads reconstructed 5-man lineup stints for NCAA women's college basketball – one row per contiguous stretch a specific 5-player lineup was on court for a team, with on/off scoring, shooting, and rebounding splits plus the matching opponent (⁠opp_*⁠) splits. Produced by the sdv-py ncaa_wbb engine's lineup reconstructor; backed by the ncaa-wbb-hoops-data pipeline, published to the ncaa_wbb_lineups release tag as csv.gz/parquet/rds.

Loads reconstructed 10-man matchup stints (the home 5-man lineup crossed with the away 5-man lineup) for NCAA women's college basketball – one row per contiguous stretch both lineups were on court together, with the score at stint start/end and both team's lineup rosters. Produced by the sdv-py ncaa_wbb engine's lineup reconstructor; backed by the ncaa-wbb-hoops-data pipeline, published to the ncaa_wbb_matchup_stints release tag as csv.gz/parquet/rds.

Loads possession-level data for NCAA women's college basketball – one row per offensive possession, with the on-court 5-man lineups for both teams, points scored, assist/transition/garbage-time flags, and the possession's first and last event types. Produced by the sdv-py ncaa_wbb engine's possession detector; backed by the ncaa-wbb-hoops-data pipeline, published to the ncaa_wbb_possessions release tag as csv.gz/parquet/rds.

Loads within-team regularized adjusted plus-minus (RAPM) ratings for NCAA women's college basketball – one row per player-team-season, fit against teammate lineup variation within that team's own possessions (not a cross-team national RAPM). Produced by the sdv-py ncaa_wbb engine's RAPM model on top of the reconstructed lineup/possession data; backed by the ncaa-wbb-hoops-data pipeline, published to the ncaa_wbb_rapm_within_team release tag as csv.gz/parquet/rds.

Loads league-wide regularized adjusted plus-minus (RAPM) ratings for NCAA women's college basketball – one row per player-season, fit against lineup variation across all Division I stints for that season (not a within-team RAPM). Produced by the sdv-py ncaa_wbb engine's league-wide stint-ridge RAPM solver (Torvik-gated to Division I teams) on top of the reconstructed lineup/possession data; backed by the ncaa-wbb-hoops-data pipeline, published to the ncaa_wbb_rapm release tag as csv.gz/parquet/rds.

Loads advanced per-player, per-game box scores for NCAA women's college basketball – one row per player-game, with shooting splits by zone (rim/mid/3), transition and half-court splits, assisted-vs-unassisted splits, and shot-zone efficiency rates. A superset of the traditional box score (points/rebounds/assists/steals/blocks/turnovers/fouls are included alongside the advanced splits). Produced by the sdv-py ncaa_wbb engine; backed by the ncaa-wbb-hoops-data pipeline, published to the ncaa_wbb_player_box release tag as csv.gz/parquet/rds.

Loads advanced per-team, per-game box scores for NCAA women's college basketball – one row per team-game, with offensive/defensive ratings, shot-zone rates and efficiency (rim/mid/3), rebounding/assist/turnover rates, and the matching opponent (⁠d_*⁠) splits. Produced by the sdv-py ncaa_wbb engine; backed by the ncaa-wbb-hoops-data pipeline, published to the ncaa_wbb_team_box release tag as csv.gz/parquet/rds.

Useful for joining ncaa_team_id columns on the other ⁠ncaa_wbb_*⁠ datasets back to a team name and conference. Produced by the sdv-py ncaa_wbb engine; backed by the ncaa-wbb-hoops-data pipeline, published to the ncaa_wbb_team_ids release tag as csv.gz/parquet/rds.
