Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
About the Basketball 'Assist-Turnover Ratio'
Reading the 'assist-turnover ratio' from the box-scores, where a player's Ast/TO ratio start to help his team's offensive effectiveness ?
It is clear this level must would be higher for a point guard, but which are the statistical levels ?
Both statistics categories assists and turnovers matter when we note at the European Basketball eBA Archives that 7 of the top 10 AS/TO players are on playoffs teams and of course it does have a positive effect.
• turnovers are a four factor category according to Dean Oliver's "Basketball on Paper" book;
• assists suggest good passing and have positive impact on at least 2 of the other three (FG% and FT/FG);
• TO do not help the offense, but Pts / Reb / Ast do;
• assists have positive impact on offensive rebounding if the good passes creates a need for help defense;
• the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System separates out 'TO resulting from passes' in our calculations;
• assists also allow some of the players to focus more on rebounding than looking for their shot;
• from the eBA Archives top 5 teams on raw assists played the playoffs but 3 of the bottom 5 played too;
• assists are not one of the four factors categories according to Dean Oliver's "Basketball on Paper" book;
• as you can see below, the results are different if the PG is also a shooter and/or rebounder - all this things create turnover opportunities-, than if he just brings the ball up and passes;
• you can play with the following numbers taking into account that this is only a new eBA Research and the break-even points may very well be different for each position:
Top 20 overall AS/TO Ratio are for point guards 2.45, shooting guards 1.75, small forward 1.55, power forward 1.15 and center something about 0.85.

Game Related Statistics Discriminating
Between Starters and Nonstarters Players
in Women's National Basketball Association League (WNBA)
From Journal of Sports Science & Medicine
By Miguel. A Gómez, Alberto Lorenzo, Enrique Ortega, Jaime Sampaio and Sergio. J Ibáñez
Download source here: ' Game Related Statistics Discriminating Between Starters and Nonstarters Players in Women's National Basketball Association League (WNBA) '
"... The aim of the present study was to identify the game-related statistics that allow discriminating between starters and nonstarter players in women's basketball when related to winning or losing games and best or worst teams. ..."
"... Nowadays, basketball coaches and performance analysts have used game-related statistics to study team's and player's performance in different game contexts.
In this particular topic, published research has been focussed specifically on men's teams. However, available research on women's basketball and also in comparing both genders' performances is very limited. ... "
"... This fact suggests a need to improve the knowledge about women's basketball, which is very limited and generally based on men's norms, in particular to know women's player performance and their contributions to team performance according to their player status.
Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine the differences in game-related statistics between basketball starters and nonstarters players when related to game outcome and team quality in Women's National Basketball Association League (WNBA). ..."
"... There are rule differences between the sample studied (WNBA) and the European basketball. In particular, Reimer, 2005 compared FIBA and North-American rules, and found the following differences for WNBA 2005 season:
i) two time periods of 20 minutes instead of four periods of 10 minutes;
ii) thirty seconds in each ball possession instead of twenty four seconds;
iii) six fouls per player instead of five personal fouls; and
iv) seven team fouls to go to the free-throw line instead of five team fouls.
Therefore, despite the present results are characterizing the highest level of women's competition; extrapolation to other contexts should consider differences in rules. ..."
"... The results found in the present study indicate that men's and women's teams have different playing styles. These differences may reflect that women's teams play with slower game pace, probably women's teams attack more frequently versus zone defenses, which require more emphasis on team and less on individual defense.
Thus, women's teams need more passes and structured offenses to break the opposite defense as pointed out by the importance of offensive actions (assists and 2-point field-goals). On the other hand, men's teams have higher game pace.
This suggest better physical parameters that allow to defend with higher intensity, more physical contact and with a game based on defensive rebounds to initiate their ball possessions, and fouls trying to stop the opposite offence. ..."

Basketball Statistics Analysis Referred Concepts:
Basketball Steals and Defensive Efficiency
In the current eBA Annual Basketball Statistics Clinic there is a debate about basketball steals: is a good number of steals a good indicator for the efficiency of the defense ?
Some thoughts to begin the discussion:
• ...players or teams with the best steals averages are not as a highly likely consequence the best defensive players or steals...
• ...if players go for too many steals, the probabilities are their defensive efficiency including everything is set at a disadvantage from that...
• ...steals percentage (steals per possession) is a good statistic to consider...
• ...declaring as an attribute or quality a defense on steals isn't going to be as being marked by a favorable outcome as one based on forcing misses...
• ...if your aggressive style defense is more impressive than your team playing a more conforming to a standard defense, you'll have to examine and note the similarities or differences of your numbers with something...
The discussion and my analysis will continue on the thread "Steal Statistics: Cases & Registration" at the Processing Statistics Board.

"... Therefore, in order to improve quick web contents accessibility and assure free availability of our eBA Group of Sites to our Full Registered Members, during the eBA Forums Discussions, the eBA Encyclopedia consultations and the eBA Basketball Clinics Online participation, the eBA Annual Basketball Statistics Clinic Participants recommended and the eBA Team decided the following:
1) To admit new eBA Members which perform their registration ( on any eBA
website ) ONLY from their official email address given by their ISPs ( Internet Service Providers ), and include our email in their e-mail whitelist, not allowing from today ANY activity from free email services accounts.
2) The eBA Forums Discussions and the current Annual eBA Clinic are being permanently affected by interrupted chat meetings connections, waste of time, and loss of important documents which does not arrive to the people, and must be resent one again... and again !
3) In the eBA Forums: to reserve to eBA Full Members ALL the boards dedicated to basketball statistics, currently open to all the anonymous guests.
4) In the eBA Encyclopedia: to maintain open to the anonymous guests ONLY the terminology glossaries, reserving to eBA Full Members ALL the other sections.
5) In the eBA Clinics: the changes and the format of the future eBA Basketball Statistics Clinics, shall be published at the end of the current eBA Annual Basketball statistics Clinic.
6) No changes will be performed in the open eBA Blogs, eBA Portal, eBA on Facebook and eBA Twitter.
7) Finally, to our 10.000+ Newsletters Subscribers with legal email addresses, all the technical newsletters, basketball statistics articles and documents SHALL NOT BE SENT AGAIN to free emails in case of email bouncing.
Free email services are supported by advertising, especially web-based email services. Other free email services, such as POP mail services, make their living by reselling or reusing the email information. In both cases, those free email services affects the web contents accessibility and free availability to our intercommunicative sites.
Free email services often market themselves as being "free for life"... but every week, several free email providers disappear, either through lack of funds, or buried under systematic abuse from spammers. And leave us with a ton of bouncing email !
And finally, here's something that most free email providers will never admit: because their services are often abused by spammers, we may find that some ISPs ( Internet Service Providers ) have taken to automatically blocking mail coming from some free email domains.
In consequence, we find that our messages will never get to certain people, no matter how many times we send them out; that's because their ISP is filtering the mail before they get a chance to see it!
This is one of the reasons why free email addresses from good companies as gMail and Yahoo, are fine for individual use, but not a good idea if our eBA Group of Sites, including the eBA Forums and the eBA Clinics, depends on people getting through to us !
Thanks a lot for going on wih us during these 12 years ! ..."
Basketball Registering Stats Referred Questions:
Technical Foul and Wrong Basket
"... A16 does is injured and does not play in the game but while sitting on the bench during the game shouts at the referee and receives a technical foul. How we register this play ? Turnover ? Game Played ?
And what is the statistician rule according to the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System ? ..."
eBA Basketball Statistical Registration=
Charge A16 with at technical foul but do not credit him with a game played and enter '0' under minutes played.
"... To whom are credited the points scored in the wrong basket ?
To any player ? To the opponent captain ?
And what the stats rule ? Turnover ? ..."
Points scored in the wrong basket are never credited to a player, but are credited to the team in a footnote. Points awarded for basket interference or goaltending by the defense are credited to the shooter. When a live ball goes in the basket, the last player who touched the ball causes it to go there ( from the Instructions & Rules Coverage - Scoring 9. ).
See in our forum the 'technical fouls' topics and the exposition "Basketball Personal Fouls Statistical Analysis" at eBA ONLINE.
All the terms in this answer are explained widely at The Global Basketball Encyclopedia and in eBA ONLINE.

Journey "inside the numbers" for an exceptional set of statistical tools and rules that can help explain the winning-or losing-ways of a basketball team. Basketball on Paper doesn’t diagram plays or explain how players get in shape, but instead demonstrates how to interpret player and team performance. |
Dean Oliver highlights general strategies for teams when they’re winning or losing, and what aspects should be the focus in either situation.
He describes and quantifies the jobs of team leaders and role players, then discusses the interactions between players and how to achieve the best fit.
Oliver conceptualizes the meaning of teamwork and how to quantify the value of different types of players working together. He examines historically successful NBA teams and identifies what made them so successful individual talent, a system of putting players together, or good coaching.
Oliver then uses these statistical tools and case studies to evaluate the best players in history - such as Earvin 'Magic' Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Charles Barkley - and how they contributed to their teams’ success. He does the same for some of the NBA’s "oddball" players - Manute Bol, Muggsy Bogues, and Dennis Rodman - and for the WNBA’s top players.
Basketball on Paper is unique in its incorporation of business and analytical concepts within the context of Basketball to measure the value of players in a cooperative setting.
Whether you’re looking for strategies or new ideas to throw out while watching the ballgame at a sports bar, Dean Oliver’s Basketball on Paper will give you amazing new insights into teamwork, coaching, and success.

Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
Possessions & the Strength of a Team
The strength of a team is not established as the end result of a process by how many more opportunities at scoring it gets ( what our eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis call "plays" ), but on the contrary how much better it is at scoring with the possessions it has.
There's no "bonus" because possessions are imprecise but fairly close to be equal between a team and its opponent in any determined game. The way we define possessions (see here this excellent thread in this forum: Basketball Possessions: About the Concept, is the time from when one team gets the ball to when the other team gets it back.
Possessions have built-in attributes that make them unmeasurable utilitarians, the largest amount of which being that the number of possessions between a team and their opponents are identical.
A selected excerpt from the discussions at the eBA Annual Analysis System Clinic Chat about this topic "Basketball Possessions".

Effects of consecutive basketball games
on the game-related statistics that discriminate winner and losing teams
From The Free Library
Download source here: ' Effects of consecutive basketball games on the game-related statistics that discriminate winner and losing teams '
"... Performance analysis in ball team sports such as basketball is a fundamental tool for coaches, allowing them to have valid and reliable information concerning their team and opponents.
Generally, coaches and researchers use this information to identify the most valuable players and the importance of certain specific roles, to assess the impact of rule changes, to investigate the home advantage or to evaluate the participation in the game by starting and reserve players, with the goal of determining how each player contributes to team performance. ..."
"... The descriptive results and univariate differences from both seasons of the under-20 league for each game played are presented in Table 1. Winning teams in this competition had better values in all game-related statistics, with the exception of 3 point field goals and free throws missed and turnovers (p = 0.05).
The main effect of game number was only identified in turnovers, with a statistical significant decrease between the second and third game. No interaction was found in the analysed variables (Table 1).
The results from the discriminant analysis are presented in Table 2. Overall function reclassifications were high for all three analyses (see Table 2).
The structural coefficients allowed identifying the two-point field goals made, the defensive rebounds and the assists as common to the mean vectors that discriminate winning and losing teams in all three games. Additionally, only the three-point field goals made (SC = -0.34) has contributed to discriminate teams in game three. ... "
"... Overall team performances (as measured by game-related statistics) along the three consecutive games were very similar, thus, not confirming an accumulated fatigue effect.
The identification of a decrease in turnovers between the second and third consecutive game strengthened the previous statement. However, the discriminatory power of the three-point field goal in the third game suggested that winning teams were able to shoot better from longer distances and this could be the result of exhibiting higher conditioning status and/or the losing teams' exhibiting low conditioning in defense.
Facing these results, basketball coaches (and players) may benefit from being aware of this small variation in game determinant related statistics. Also, they could benefit from using offensive and defensive strategies in the third game allowing for exploring or hide the tree point field-goals variable ..."

Basketball Statistics Analysis Referred Concepts:
Registering Each Shot Related to Game Situation
The eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System register each shot related to:
• the game situation (time and score);
• ball location (sideline or endline);
• player location ( location of shot in our 15 zones basketball court diagram );
• type of shot (shot selection);
• shooting clock (seconds remaining);
• shot result ( made or missed ) and
• offensive and defensive alignments for each one of the shots.
The general character and site of the shot attempt can be a manifestation of the stage of difficulty:
1) End-line plays present a bigger menace than sideline out of bounds;
2) In the main, inbounds plays have both inside and outside choices with a condition to keep from performing a 5 second violation;
3) As a whole the first precedence of the defense against end-line out of bounds plays is impeding an easy basket at the rim.
The basketball statistician must knows that The achievement of their objective by the offense or defense returning from a time out in closely contested end game situations are more significant than others - these are about entirely sideline plays
The eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System also registers the success rates of a specific team or coach after a timeout, both the offense and defense should are analyzed.

Basketball Registering Stats Referred Questions:
Rules without Location Reference
"... Team A is over the limit and Team B has possession at his backcourt.
Team A player make a personal foul in order to provoke a free throws situation: the free throws must be thrown or only when the middle line is crossed and it may be an offensive foul ?
And what is the statistician rule according to the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System ? ..."
The question is not clearly formulated, but we'll try to understand the following:
The Rules tell us that a personal foul is a player's fault which implies illegal contact with an opponent, being the ball live or dead.
Common examples are holding, charging, tripping, blocking, pushing, or interference. A personal foul results in either a player taking free throws or a team losing possession of the ball.
So, the Rules states that beyond a given number of fouls: 4 team fouls per NBA, FIBA or ULEB period; 8 per WNBA half; 7 per half in college the team is over the limit". See the eBA Global Basketball Encyclopedia:
"Each team is allowed the given number of fouls per quarter or half for which no free throws are assessed ( unless they are committed against players in act of shooting ); after the given number of fouls a team is said to be "over the limit" and free throws are assessed on all subsequent fouls. This team is also said "to be in the penalty".
The basketball rules don't make any reference about the location of the player at the moment the personal foul is committed, with reference to backcourt or frontcourt, only they must be between the court legal limits. So, any statistical analysis rules refers to this situation too.
See in our forum the 'personal fouls' topics and the exposition "Basketball Personal Fouls Statistical Analysis" at eBA ONLINE.

Drew Lawson lives and breathes basketball. He plans to use basketball as his ticket out of Harlem, and everyone knows it. The problems start when Coach "House" Hauser changes the game plan. The Lawson family is a bit unusual for their neighborhood. |
Drew is lucky to have both a mom and dad living under the same roof, and although money is a struggle, both parents work.
He and his sister have been raised to value life and set high goals.
News from their neighborhood only makes the paper when it is bad news.
Shootings, stabbings, and robberies are the usual stories, and Drew's mother frets when those stories involve young people.
The Chargers basketball team could offer Drew a chance at a better life. He is a decent player and has his sights set on playing Division I college ball in hopes of being a future NBA player. As a star Chargers' player, it just might be possible. Unfortunately, it seems that Coach House has other plans.
It is mid-season and suddenly Coach House has brought in two new players - a couple of white players. That doesn't bother Drew and his team too much until it becomes evident that Coach plans to start these new players in positions that clearly threaten Drew's game. What is Coach trying to do? Is there a method to his madness or is Drew's future at stake?
GAME is set in Walter Dean Myers' home territory in Harlem, and is filled with his trademark characters and plenty of action. Readers hear Drew's story in between bouts of realistic play-by-play basketball scenes. Myers fans as well as basketball lovers will find this a satisfying read.

Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
Formula that separates offensive and defensive basketball rebounds
The eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System, which is being studied in the eBA System Annual Clinic, applies a formula that separates offensive and defensive rebounds when we analyze the team and player rebounding percentages and performance.
The reason to perform separate analysis is because I think an offensive rebound is far more valuable and must be evaluated in a different way.
Why? If the player who we're analyzing wasn't on the court, in theory a defensive rebound is far more likely to result from a missed shot than an offensive rebound.
On average, the ratio of offensive boards is about 3:7. If we assume that everyone contributes equally, the player we're analyzing contributes .6 offensive boards, so the rest of his team would get 2.4 offensive boards per 10 missed shots (close enough to 25%).
Thus, an offensive board means .75 more possessions than expected, a defensive board .25 more.

The Art and Science of NBA Defense
From 20 Second Timeout
By David Friedman
Download source here: ' The Art and Science of NBA Defense ' by David Friedman
"... Johnny Bach, Phil Jackson's "defensive coordinator" on the Chicago Bulls' first three championship teams, has seen a lot of changes during his more than 50 years of college and professional coaching: "I think scouting is far better than it ever was...we have it on DVD and we have it edited.
I don't think players had as much information as they have now and I think it contributes to playing the scorers better--deciding who are the scorers and really concentrating on how we're going to push them out a little further (away from their favorite areas).
You have so much information available--the statistics alone, then you have the pictorial review that I can produce to a team. What we call 'criticals'--out of bounds plays, what they do after a timeout, what they do when the score's tied, what's the last shot of the quarter--all these things are broken down now." ... "
"... Using speed and passing to relentlessly attack the defense is not a new idea. In the 1950s and 1960s the Boston Celtics won championships with a wide open style that encouraged players to adjust to situations on the fly.
Hall of Fame point guard Bob Cousy, the maestro conductor of the Celtic fast break, declares, "Basketball is more of a free-flowing game of instinct and reaction to an action...Normally people associate basketball players with height, but in my judgment speed and quickness are what separate the men from the boys...
Every time down the floor is a different situation. Your action is a reaction to what the defender is doing. We (the Celtics) relied primarily on transition rather than set plays. There was always constant movement. We were always trying to impose the maximum pressure on the opponent whether it was on defense or offense." ..."

Basketball Statistics Analysis Referred Concepts:
Analyzing the Home Performance Advantage or 'ceiling effect'
Meanwhile field goals and three point shots may vary in location and defensive pressure, a free throw is the same during games as it is in practice every time.
Therefore, can we speak about a relation between free throws and home performance advantage ?
It is possible that every time a college basketball player shoots a free throw before a crowd, social facilitation occurs and that the benefits of being at home or being a better shooting team are held by a home advantage effect.
If this effect occurs, it is possible that poor free throw shooters, for whom the area is non-dominant, may benefit from a home performance advantage or the 'ceiling effect'.
It is possible that free throw shooting is an influential undertaking in the home performance advantage. Although field goals and three point shots be subject to change in accordance with location and defensive pressure, a free throw is the same during games as it is in practice every time.
According to our statistics analysis, in opposition, field goal shooting looks to be an undertaking that can be influential or non-influential while three point shooting looks largely a non-influential undertaking.
The instance of change in shooting aptitude was small in a relative manner. As an option, some players who shows special good skills at three point shooting may reveal an alike benefit. This can be addressed in future studies from the eBA Basketball Statistics System.

If B1 prevents A1 from releasing the ball, it's a held ball, with the statistical register according the alternating possession rule.
If A1 chooses not to release the ball, it's traveling, registering a forced turnover against A1 and a forced steal in favour to B1
See in our forum the 'traveling turnover' topics and the exposition "Basketball FGA Statistical Analysis" at eBA ONLINE.
All the terms in this answer are explained widely at The Global Basketball Encyclopedia and in eBA ONLINE.

Basketball Statistician's Digest:
April 2010 eBA sketball Statistics Case Study Conclusion
Different Situations in a Basketball Shot... Case Study
"... As the shot clock is about to expire, A1 shoots and the ball without doubt is in flight before the buzzer.
• case a) The shot-clock buzzer sounds while the ball is in the air and the ball strikes the basket ring or enters the basket.
• case b) The shot-clock buzzer sounds while the ball is in the air, the ball fails to hit the ring, and A2 rebounds.
• case c) The shot-clock buzzer sounds while the ball is in the air, the ball fails to hit the ring, and B3 rebounds at the right wing of the court.
• case d) The ball fails to hit the ring and the shotclock buzzer sounds as B3 rebounds.
• case e) The ball hits the ring and the shot-clock buzzer sounds as B3 rebounds over A4.
What is the statistical registration according to the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System in each one of the given situations, including the type of the registration ( close, long, disputed or undisputed rebound, etc...) ... ?"
Conclusion:
eBA System Statistics Fundamentals:
A player should not be charged for a shot from the field influenced by the illegal actions of himself or herself, or any teammates or opponents unless the shot results in a FGM.
eBA Basketball Statistical Registration:
In all cases, no turnover is charged !
• In (a) the horn is ignored. Charge A1 with a FGA and, if the shot is good, credit A1 with a FGM;
• in (b), (c) and (d) the officials call the violation and Team B is awarded the ball for a throwin. Charge A1 with a FGA and credit Team B with a dead-ball rebound;
• in (e) the officials do not call a violation and Team B continues control of the ball. Charge A1 with a FGA and credit B3 with a disputed rebound.
This Case Study was presented as every 10th. day of each month, on April 10th, 2010 in our eBA Portal: were sent 246 answers, 198 partial answers and 39 totally correct, that's means including all the options, registrations and qualifications.
was awarded to those who submitted the correct answers !

Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
Free Throw Shooting Influence on End Result
In what manner free throw shooting have an influence on the end result of games ?
Let's take to be true, for example, that both teams had converted all of their free throws, or the losing team convert all of its free throws and the winning team convert the same number of free throws.
How all these data is performed statistically to the end ?
Here are some numbers from the archives of the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System:
1.- The average number of free throws attempted in a game is about 25 per game.
2.- The shooting average is about 75% efficiency.
3.- That implies as a possibility that a 1% upward would make an actual deviation in FTM once every 4 games (see 1.-: teams shoot 25 FTA per game), translated in only one point every four games.
4.- Teams win by one point 5% of the total of games played.
5.- That 1% upward in FT% would tell us that 25% of these 1-point wins would instead go to overtime.
6.- And finally, to go on with discussion, that 1% FT% upward give us a win on 5% * 25% * 50% = 0.6% of the team's games, or 0.5 current games: that's means one additional win every two seasons.

Friday Press Clippings:
Analyzing the Votes for the All-Defensive Team and the All-NBA Team
From 20 Second Timeout
By David Friedman
Download source here: ' Analyzing the Votes for the All-Defensive Team and the All-NBA Team ' by David Friedman
"... Most of the NBA's annual awards are selected by a panel of media members but the All-Defensive Team is chosen by the league's head coaches, who are not permitted to vote for members of their own teams. ... "
"... It is also odd that the center position received 124 First Team votes out of 122 ballots cast. If the media is trying to create some kind of "higher justice" by voting for the best players without regard to position then the league should either eliminate positional designations on the All-NBA Team or else insist that the voters stick to the official guidelines and vote for players at the positions that they actually play; unless the NBA officially gets rid of positional designations on the All-NBA Team I think that the squad should include the top three centers, even if this means that some forwards or guards who are "better" players are left off of the team. ..."
"... The media chose Brandon Roy and Joe Johnson as Third Team guards, while I picked Roy and Chauncey Billups, who only received 24 points in the media voting despite averaging a career-high 19.5 ppg; I never bought the myth that Billups single-handedly "changed the culture" in Denver (the Nuggets were a 50 win team before he arrived and they benefited last year from the addition of some healthy bigs plus some down seasons by several Western teams) but I do think that he deserved All-NBA Third Team honors this season.
That said, Johnson is a worthy choice as well, though some of the voters may want a recount in light of his lack of production in recent playoff games. ..."

Basketball Statistics Analysis Referred Concepts:
Analyzing the Weighted Standard Deviation
Performing this calculation we must not mistake precision with accuracy. Nonparametric elements like percentiles make no hypothesis that is taken for granted about the shape of the distribution: they are more cautious measures and much less likely to return errors at the the highest degrees.
If you're searching leaders in a category, I recommend you to always use nonparametric measures with a common plan with parametric measure, merely to be sure there are no outliers into your results.
The weighted standard deviation doesn't succeed in seizing the unfairness between two players with the same rates in different quantities of playing time. Same rate is as if: that rate and no more. What it would succeed in catching is a significant change between the width of the distributions, having an effect upon the standard scores. The differences between player rates would be involved, but not if they have the same rate.
When analyzing numbers with measures that aren't well fully apprehended, I give preference to study at the numbers from multiple angles. In this case which you propose at your question, I would perform the computations using
1. Percentiles
2. Standard deviation
3. Weighted Standard deviation by minutes
4. Weighted Standard deviation by square root (minutes per game)
and examine and note the similarities or differences of them. There shouldn't be much significant change, but it would be holding the attention if there was.

Basketball Registering Stats Referred Questions:
When exactly we have and register a 'fast break' ?
"... When exactly - within how many seconds - we have a 'fast break' ? Fast break points is a stat that TV broadcasters always talk about - saying how some team ranks in it on the season.
Is this stat collected into season rankings in the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System ? ..."
As was explained in another post, when we explained how to register the plays according the 24 seconds rule, the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System register this stats into season rankings.
From the eBA ONLINE Clinic we know that the system register the plays according to the shooting clock, within 4 - 8- 16 - 20 and 24 seconds. Therefore, the fast breaks are the plays registered in the first 4/5 seconds of the shooting clock, subtracting out offensive-rebound putbacks.
Presently in the Saturdays Live Chat from the eBA Annual Clinic we are discussing about a norm related to the number of passes in a fast break.
See in our forum the 'fast breaks' topics and the exposition "Basketball Possessions Statistical Analysis" at eBA ONLINE.

Statistics Terminology:
Added today to the eBA Encyclopedia: Contingency Table
"... A contingency table is a way of summarising the relationship between variables, each of which can take only a small number of values . It is a table of frequencies classified according to the values of the variables in question .
When a population is classified according to two variables it is said to have been 'cross-classified' or subjected to a two-way classification . Higher classifications are also possible . ..."

Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
About the Efficiency in Different Possession Start Cases
Here I post some comments on the results included in this post: Efficiency in Different Possession Start Cases.
The complete analysis is included in my exposition about "Possessions" in the eBA ONLINE Clinics:
~ The manner your opponent scores (2p, 3p or FT) does not have a major effect upon your efficiency;
~ Most teams performs better when the possession starts with a defensive rebound after an opponent missed 2p FG;
~ It's easier to put back the ball when an offensive rebound follows a 2 point shot than after a 3-pointer;
~ Good defense makes better team's offense by approximately 5% and good offense improves defense in the same way;
~ A steal is a great offensive tool, more than an offensive rebound;
~ The high efficiency in regards to steals is reasonable because a steal leads to a fast break which is one the most efficient offensive opportunities as well as an offensive rebound;
~ The biggest difference between NBA and European results is efficiency after non-steal turnovers probably because in the NBA an steal is always credited if the ball stays live, which is not always the case in European stats: the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System register the steals according to the NBA conception;
~ It is harder to take an offensive rebound after a 3p missed than after a 2p missed;
~ One factor that makes bigger the average efficiency after Free Throws is that, because of the team foul penalty, there are more Free Throws near the end of a quarter;
~ The penalty situation also helps to increase efficiency: the net result is a higher average for Free Throws cases than it should be.
