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.
