This document formulates an integer linear programming model to help a basketball coach choose the optimal starting lineup from a team of seven players based on their abilities and position restrictions. The model defines binary variables for each player, includes constraints on positions and ability averages, and maximizes the total defensive ability of the lineup.

Integer Programming Model Formulation.

Coach Night is trying to choose the starting line-up for the basketball team. The team
consists of seven players who have been rated (on a scale of 1=poor to 3=excellent)
according to their ball-handling, shooting, rebounding, and defensive abilities. The
positions that each player is allowed to play (G=guard, C=center, F=forward) and the
player's abilities are:

PlayerPositionBall-handling Shooting ReboundingDefense


1 G 3 3 1 3
2 C 2 1 3 2
3 G-F 2 3 2 2
4 F-C 1 3 3 1
5 G-F 1 3 1 2
6 F-C 3 1 2 3
7 G-F 3 2 2 1

The five-player starting line-up must satisfy the following restrictions:

(i) At least 3 members must be able to play guard,


at least 2 members must be able to play forward,
and at least one member must be able to play center.

(ii)The average ball-handling, shooting, and rebounding level of the starting lineup
must each be at least 2.

(iii) If player 3 starts, then player 6 cannot start.

(iv) If player 1 starts, then players 4 and 5 must both start.

(v) Either player 2 or player 3 (or both) must start.

Define variables: Xi = 1 if player # i is selected for the line-up, else 0

Given these constraints, Coach wants to maximize the total defensive ability of the
starting team.

Formulate an integer LP that will help him choose his starting team, and use LINDO (or
other software) to find the optimal solution.

Integer Programming Model Formulation (Selecting basketball team)

Solution: Define variables:


1 if player i is selected
Xj =
0 otherwise

Constraints:

The number of players selected must be exactly five: X 1 + X 2 + X3 + X 4 + X 5 + X6 + X 7 = 5

At least 3 members must be able to play guard: X 1 + X3 + X 5 + X7 ≥ 3

At least 2 members must be able to play forward: X 3 + X5 + X 7 ≥ 2

At least one member must be able to play center: X2 + X 4 + X 6 ≥ 1

The average ball-handling level of the starting lineup must be at least 2:


3 X1 + 2 X2 + 2 X3 + X 4 + X 5 + 3 X 6 + 3 X7
≥ 2 ⇒ 3 X1 + 2 X 2 + 2 X 3 + X 4 + X 5 + 3 X6 + 3 X7 ≥ 10
5

The average shooting level of the starting lineup must be at least 2:


3 X1 + X 2 + 3 X 3 + 3 X 4 + 3 X 5 + X 6 + 2 X7
≥2 ⇒ 3 X 1 + X2 + 3 X3 + 3 X4 + 3 X5 + X 6 + 2 X 7 ≥ 10
5

The average rebounding level of the starting lineup must be at least 2:

ILP Model (Basketball Team) page 3 of 7


X 1 + 3 X 2 + 2 X 3 + 3 X 4 + X 5 + 2 X 6 + 2 X7
≥ 2 ⇒ X 1 + 3 X 2 + 2 X 3 + 3 X 4 + X5 + 2 X6 + 2 X7 ≥ 10
5

If player 3 starts, then player 6 cannot start:

1 – X3 ≥ X6 ⇔ X3 + X6 ≤ 1

If player 1 starts, then players 4 and 5 must both start:

X 1 ≤ X 4 & X 1 ≤ X 5 ⇒ 2 X 1 ≤ X4 + X 5
Note: the single inequality on the right is equivalent the pair of inequalities on the left if all
variables are binary. However, if they are continuous variables restricted to the interval
[0,1], the single inequality is implied by the pair on the left, but not vice-versa. In ILP, it is
better for the sake of computational efficiency to use the pair of inequalities, which gives a
smaller feasible region for the LP obtained by relaxing the integer restrictions.

Either player 2 or player 3 (or both) must start:

X 2 + X3 ≥ 1

Objective: Maximize the total defensive ability of the team:

Maximize 3 X 1 + 2 X2 + 2 X3 + X4 + 2 X 5 + 3 X6 + X 7

LINDO output:
MAX 3 X1 + 2 X2 + 2 X3 + X4 + 2 X5 + 3 X6 + X7
