I've three suggestions to maybe improve readability even more.

Instead of

"pinpoint pass"

try the more simple

"player x finds player y in space"

Instead of
"player x came off the bench to replace player y"
try the more simple
"player x leaves the bench to replace player y"

Finally, instead of

"player x corrals the loose ball with one hand"
try
"player x claims the loose ball with a one-handed grab"

Thank you very much for the feedback and kind words Elmacca!

I'll make those changes you suggested. However what I'm going to do is wait a week to gather all the bugs then do it all in one go. It's time consuming to check through every string to find the one you want (they're not labelled, sadly). So while I agree with you that the "pinpoint" pass is annoying, it'll have to wait a while

it just occurred to me instead of different versions of "English", how about different "announcers" that we could select to announce our games (home team choice). We could have the understated, the enthusiast, the amateur (bland, with much dead time) -- you get the picture.

i love making work for other people!

The coach off xxxxx has seen enough and calls a timeout...

if you are playing badly this is a good sentence. but i have seen this being used as a TO too when it is a 2 point game and the team that is behind calls this tactics for tactical reasons. wouldnt make sense at all in such a case...

Yeah, maybe "The coach of xxxx decides it's time to talk it over and calls a timeout" would work in both scenarios.

I need to change "tries to power his way to the hoop" to "powers his way to the hoop" for continuity reasons. Keep the bugs/suggestions coming!

"gives him no room to breathe" is getting annoying too, I'll change it to "guarding him closely" or something.

Just tuned into my match and noticed some nice refreshing phrases... all good in my book so far, keep up the good work!

Thought I'd just add some typo's as Im not skilled sufficiently to alter the phrases in their entirety!

I think you are aiming for Arches rather than arces (this is one of the inside shot phrases)
