Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
About the Most Accurate Basketball Passers' Formula

About the eBA formula to measure who were the most accurate passers, and who passed without turning it over, we must understand, first of all, that the meaning of this type of formulas is more in the rankings of the players, meanwhile the number itself doesn't mean anything in terms of basketball analysis.

It depends on number of touches, passes, minutes played and teammates on the floor, and you can't simply blow up bad passes on a passes per minute basis.

Photograph: Purzuit

For ranking purposes you can apply this method which retorts the percentage of touches that were bad passes, in addition to the league average:

League Bad Pass% = sum(Bad Pass) / sum (Touch)
Player Bad Pass% = Bad Pass / Touch

Bad Pass over Average = ( Player Bad Pass% - League Bad Pass% ) * Touch

Sports Knowledge Management and Data Mining

From robschumaker.com
By Robert P. Schumaker, Osama K. Solieman and Hsinchun Chen
Download source here: ' Sports Knowledge Management and Data Mining ' by Robert P. Schumaker, Osama K. Solieman and Hsinchun Chen

"... Vast amounts of sports data are routinely collected about players, coaching decisions and game events. Making sense of this data is important to those seeking an edge. By transforming this data into actionable knowledge, scouts, managers and coaches can have a better idea of what to expect from opponents and be able to use a player draft more effectively.

With millions of dollars riding on the many decisions made within a sports franchise, the sports environment is ideal for data mining and knowledge management approaches. While the application these approaches to the sports environment may be unique and the focus of this chapter, the topics of data mining and knowledge management should certainly be well known to the reader and form the basis of the approaches we discuss. ..."

"... Sport statistics, by themselves can be misleading without an understanding of their fundamental meaning. This comes from either imprecise measurement of an event or the sports community’s misuse and over reliance on particular statistics. As evidence, consider the fact that certain players can build impressive individual statistics yet have little impactn on the performance of the team. ..."

"... Another example of statistical imprecision is the measurement the number of defensive rebounds off missed free-throws in Basketball. In order to get a defensive rebound, teammates must block out opposing players and in doing so, they typically cannot get the rebound although their actions arguably make them just as important in the accomplishment.

However, given the way in which rebounds are measured; only the player who gets the ball is credited with the rebound. ... "

"... A recent study into NCAA basketball, found that 1% of games involve some form of point shaving. Being able to discover instances of point shaving is incredibly difficult, especially when there is no serial correlation in betting markets from game to game. ..."

"... Basketball players can use similar video footage services to query the system for articular shots or defensive moves. Before this technology became available, teams would often have to wait several days to receive game footage, but now footage is almost nstantaneously streamed to players, coaches, and scouts alike. It used to be a tedious rocess to retrieve particular video sequences, but now queries such as “corner kicks esulting in a goal in the final two minutes” will return the appropriate footage for further analysis. ..."

Basketball Statistics Analysis Referred Concepts:
Basketball Shooting from the MidRange Area

One of the determining factors in whether a shot is a good one or not is if it is taken within the player's shooting range.

The player's shooting range is the big circle around the rim that he can comfortable shoot from.

Now, in basketball statistics terms... Which area on this graph the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System describes as the mid range zone? Is the marked zone the MidRange Area ?

For the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System mid-range might include, technically, every 2-point FG that isn't in the paint and classify the mid-range shots in mid-long 2pt shots and 3pt shots.

Basketball Registering Stats Referred Questions:
Bad Dribble - It's Turnover but Steal ?

"... A1 is dribbling when he deal with the ball inefficiently and
it bounces toward B2, how we register this play ?
Steal from B2 ....? but he was not the " the initiator of the action causing the turnover"

What about the proper ruling and the statistical registration in the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System ? ..."

Basketball Statistics Registration Fundamentals=
To earn a steal, the defensive player should be the initiator of the action causing the turnover, not just the benefactor. For NCCA and FIBA the steal should be a take-away, not just a recovery and not just a forced error. For us, according to our eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System, the "forced error" concept is different at all. See: eBA ONLINE.

Photograph: Airworm 23

eBA Basketball Statistical Registration=
A1 is charged with a turnover, and meanwhile NCAA & FIBA do not credit B2 with a steal as he did not initiate the action, I suggest the following:
analyze the action by means the game video-tape and credit B2 with a steal if there was although a minimal action of the player as the cause of the turnover, on the contrary a "team steal" will be registered.

See in our forum the 'basketball turnovers' topics and the exposition "Basketball Turnovers Statistical Analysis" at eBA ONLINE.

Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
NBA teams follow lead of baseball

"... The basic principle in many of the basketball stat formulas is how efficiently players use possessions.

The object is to get players who take better shots, commit few turnovers and grab the highest possible percentage of rebounds. It's not just looking at players who score and rebound the most, but who do so with the fewest chances.

The more efficient offensive and defensive possessions a team has, the more points it will score and the fewer it will give up.

So all is explained? Not exactly...

Photograph: Live

Not all numbers are created equal and there are gaps in the code, such as on defense, where there are fewer created stats to record and measure. ..." by Brian Windhorst in his article "NBA teams follow lead of baseball".

Team USA Faces Major Challenge in FIBA World Championship

From 20 Second Timeout
By David Friedman
Download source here: ' Team USA Faces Major Challenge in FIBA World Championship ' by David Friedman

"... The FIBA World Championship begins on August 28. This competition rarely receives much publicity in the United States but for many basketball-minded nations it is very important, equal to--if not even greater than--the Olympics in terms of prestige; American kids who play basketball dream of winning an NBA championship but kids in other countries dream of leading their homeland to the FIBA World Championship title. ..."

"... Team USA has historically not fared well in this event, finishing first just three times in 15 FIBA World Championship appearances (in contrast, the U.S. men's national basketball team has captured 13 of a possible 17 Olympic gold medals); the last U.S. team to earn a FIBA World Championship gold medal was the 1994 squad (the so-called "Dream Team II") led by a star-studded cast including Shaquille O'Neal (18.0 ppg, 8.5 rpg), Reggie Miller (17.1 ppg, .526 3FG%), Dominique Wilkins (12.6 ppg) and Joe Dumars (12.6 ppg). ..."

"... Most FIBA teams rely on the ability to drive to the hoop, draw in the defense and then kick the ball out to open three point shooters. In order to be successful, Team USA's guards must control dribble penetration.

Also, Team USA's defense must be "on a string" when opposing teams run screen/roll actions, because otherwise their opponents will either shred Team USA with wide open layups or bombard them from three point range. ... "

"... FIBA play is more physical than NBA play, particularly on the perimeter; expect to see opposing teams be very physical with Durant, who did not fare well in the first round of the 2010 NBA playoffs versus Ron Artest's bump and run defense.

No FIBA team has an individual defender who is as skilled and as strong as Artest but the FIBA rules allow for a lot more contact than NBA rules do so it will not be easy for Durant to rack up 25-30 ppg while shooting a good percentage from the field and he likely will not be granted as many free throw attempts per game as he receives in the NBA. ..."

"... The nightmare scenario for Team USA (other than an injury or foul trouble sidelining Durant) is for an opponent to carve them up with screen/roll plays, hit a high percentage of three point shots and use physical defense to frustrate finesse wing players such as Durant and Gay.

Team USA's players are mostly young and inexperienced and could get that "deer in the headlights" look if an opposing team hits them with a 10-0 run. Team USA lacks a lock down perimeter defender--a role that Bryant filled brilliantly in the 2008 Olympics--and does not have a defined go-to scorer other than Durant. ..."

Basketball Statistics Analysis Referred Concepts:
A Basketball Blocked Shot - Attempt or No Attempt ?

In basketball, a block (short for blocked shot) occurs when a defensive player legally deflects a shot from an offensive player.
The defender must not touch the offensive player's hands or otherwise a foul is called.

In order to be legal, the block must occur while the shot is traveling upward. If it is heading downward when the defender hits it, it is ruled a goaltending and counts as a made basket.
A goaltending is also called if the block is made after the ball bounces on the backboard.

Photograph: rotorob

At the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System: in the case of altered shot, when the ball leaves the player's hand we register an attempted shot for the shooter and a steal at the category 'Altered Shot" for the defender.

In the case the ball doesn't leaves the player's hand we have a turnover ("blocked shot") and a steal ("Block") respectively.

Basketball Registering Stats Referred Questions:
An Offensive Rebound EVERY TIME He Tips & Statistics

"... How official eBA statistics are scored in this case: my center likes to tip the ball off the board or rim in order to keep it alive while trying to gain possession. Do all of these taps count as multiple offensive rebounds, or just one ? And what about shot attempts ?

What about the proper ruling and the statistical registration in the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System ? ..."

Photograph: FIBA

1st. Case:
Center tips the ball off the board or rim in order to keep it alive while trying to gain possession.

eBA Basketball Statistics Registration=
Only ONE Offensive Rebound if he gain the possession.

2nd. Case:
Player tips the ball in a shot attempt.

A shot attempt, a missed one and one Offensive Rebound EVERY TIME he tips the ball attempting a basket.

Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
About the Basketball Player Regularity in Certain Category

A basketball coach is interested not only in the player's average performance in certain game's category (points made or rebounds grabbed), but in his regularity in that category.

Certainly, an irregular player may be scoring his maximum points in an important game, but it's possible the contrary too.

In spite of the importance of the regularity, the official basketball statistics doesn't reflect this characteristic.

How the eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis System register the player's regularity ?

Image: The Only Colors

The player performance throughout a whole season will be evaluated by means of iso-elastic function which is greatly explained in a work of Alejandro Esteller-Moré: "A note about the statistics sports about the regular players" in a PDF document ( in spanish ) which may be reached clicking on the title and where he propose to use the well-known social welfare function of Atkinson (1970) to evaluate the performance of a player in any category.

"... Probably, many basketball coaches (and supporters) prefer those players that score a regular amount of points in each game to those other players that, though on average do equally well or even better, are more irregular. However, sports statistics do not reflect regularity.

In order to take into account this characteristic seriously, we propose to use the well-known social welfare function of Atkinson (1970) to evaluate the performance of a player in any category. Alejandro Esteller-Moré ..."

The eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis System studies and applies this analysis function in the eBA Basketball Statistics Clinics.

UConn's wins not necessarily a victory for women's basketball

From USA Today
By Christine Brennan
Download source here: ' UConn's wins not necessarily a victory for women's basketball ' by Christine Brennan

"... How is it possible that in a game being played in an organized manner by hundreds of thousands of girls and women from the ages of 6 or 7 on up that one excellent college team cannot find even one other school that can come within single digits of it over two seasons? ..."

"... How is it that with hundreds of college scholarships available to women who play basketball, and national and regional television exposure as never before, and some serious money being thrown at college women's coaches, that there's not enough depth in the women's game for anyone to challenge the Connecticut Huskies? ..."

"... One look at that collection of universities, not a one of them named Louisiana Tech or Old Dominion, and you thought you could safely proclaim that big-time college athletic departments finally cared about women's hoops, and depth and balance would soon follow. ... "

"... But UConn's dominance at what should be the most competitive time in the history of women's sports raises a question: Just what, exactly, is going on at the 331 other NCAA Division I schools that field women's basketball teams? As we know, no one has come within less than 10 points of UConn since it last lost in the 2008 Final Four.

For comparative purposes, when the UCLA men's team won 88 in a row in the early 1970s, 16 of those victories were by single digits, including two one-point wins. ..."

"... I'll take that analogy and run with it. Listen up, you 331 other Division I women's basketball programs: The ball is in your court. ..."

Basketball Statistics Analysis Referred Concepts:
Basketball Second Chance Points Statistics

Second Chance points doesn't appear at the regular stats score-sheets.

Out of USA statistics, second chance points doesn't appears in the classical stats sheet that you know and are used to, still today.

But they appears in a central manner at the Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis eBA System, and are analyzed by original play, seconds to go and players involved in the play.

Photograph: Go Duke

Another important contribution of the Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis eBA System is to take the second chance points not only as a stats quantity, but as a percentage of the total of rebounds taken, offensive and defensive, own and opponents.

You can see it by yourself this analysis in the above mentioned area, as in Game Highlights" (PDF Document).
