RSS would work, but someone still has to enter the scores from the high schools, I doubt there is a real live high school feed, unless the hs is in the big time enough to warrant local news coverage.
However...I kinda think all the coach was asking to do was a page refresh?
| Head to the bank and ask for a loan coach. Building a real time data service
| cost real time money when no persons are involved to do the data entry. You
| need an electronic scoreboard that can send data using Internet protocols
| and you need an application on the server to capture and display it. That
| takes some hefty hardware, some hefty connectivity and some hefty software
| development.
|
| There's actually a reasonable alternative using RSS 1.0 as the data
| transport that can update a page using near real-time asynchronous
| callbacks. Clear as mud heh
This methodology requires sophisticated
| software programming that once developed would at least allow you to run the
| application on a typical web server to report near real-time scores but you
| will still need someone to do data entry and press the send button in as
| near real-time as possible.
