HOW OFTEN A PLAYER HANDLED THE BALL ?

To calculate how often a player handled the ball on offense we have two ways:
1.- to count all the times he first gained possession of the ball while on offense;
2.- to register what he did with the ball (how he got rid of it) each time he had the ball.

A well known formula in other system, proposes this calculation of the player's touches:

(FGA + AST/X + FTA/Y + TO)

But in the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System, we understand that we must consider another elements: offensive fouls, double fouls, jump balls, technical fouls, etc. which occur only occasionally but must be included.

Another element not applied in that formula, are the defensive rebounds because rarely does a player score immediately after getting a defensive rebound, dribble the length of the court, and score. eBA System, never the less, includes the defensive rebounds, and also the offensive rebounds, after which there is a basket.
