Load wehoop WNBA Stats Coaches

Source: R/load_wnba_stats.R
load_wnba_stats_coaches.Rd

Loads season-level WNBA coaching staff data scraped from the WNBA Stats API. One row per coach-team-season triple. Backed by the wehoop-wnba-stats-data pipeline that reads raw JSONs from wehoop-wnba-stats-raw and publishes parquet/rds artifacts to the wnba_stats_coaches release tag.

load_wnba_stats_coaches_manifest() returns the per-season manifest CSV (season, row_count, generated_at_utc, source_endpoint) for the WNBA Stats coaches release tag without downloading any season's full data.

load_wnba_stats_coaches(
  seasons = most_recent_wnba_stats_season(),
  ...,
  dbConnection = NULL,
  tablename = NULL
)
