group_stats: Aggregate player statistics and play-by-play information

Description

This function aggregates player statistics and play-by-play information within a season by applying player_season_stats(), player_match_stats(), or match_pbp() across groups of teams (for player_season_stats()) or across contests within a season (for player_match_stats() and match_pbp()). For season stats, it aggregates all player data and team data into separate data frames and combines them into a list. For instance, if you want to extract the data from the teams in the women's 2024 Final Four, pass a vector of c("Louisville", "Nebraska", "Penn State", "Pittsburgh") to the function. For match or play-by-play data for a team, pass a single team name and year. Team names can be found in ncaa_teams or by using find_team_name().

  teams = NULL,
  year = NULL,
  level = "season",
  unique = TRUE,
  sport = "WVB"
)

Value
