Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
About the Basketball Possessions Concept

When using possessions to rate offenses and defenses, an excellent exercise in getting to know basketball, the benefits of this definition become clear:
"Possession for a team, it is the period of play between when one team gains control of the ball and when the other team gains control of the ball. For an individual, a possession or part of a possession is credited when that individual causes to end his/her team's possession."
We'll analyze the following 2 situations:
1) A player brings the ball up court, takes a 20 foot jump shot and makes it.
2) A player brings the ball upcourt, takes a 20 foot jump shot and misses, but a teammate rebounds, misses the putback, then get his own rebound and finally puts in a layup.
The first situation involves one scoring possession and one total possession regardless of which definition is used.
The second situation has one scoring and one total possession using above definition. Using the other meaning, the second situation involves one scoring possession and three total possessions.
Now, which situation represented the better offense ?
