Defensive Rebound Efficiency
Talking about turnovers, for example, you might hear someone say, "Our team perpetrated 18 turnovers. That's not very good." It might not be, but you'd have to know more about the way the game was played to reach that conclusion. 18 turnovers against a slow-down team would be awful. 18 turnovers against  a quick-pace squad would be accomplishable.

There's a stat called 'defensive rebound efficiency' that is  used in the eBA System ( go to the eBA System ) -- it measures the amount of defensive rebounds taken down from missed shots. There's a similar idea we apply in eBA as 'offensive rebound efficiency', which simply measures the amount of available offensive rebounds that a team gather. One area where that stat breaks down, however, is that it's hard to take free throws into account just by looking at the box score because there's no way to know which missed shots could result in an offensive rebound.
Therefore, when the eBA System register the equations with the "trips to the line", this problem is solved.
