Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
Are all basketball rebounds created equal ?

We know the eBA Registration System rules about contested and uncontested rebounds qualification, and also the credit of the rebounds by zones and number of players in the play.

But, the question is: all the rebounds are created equal ?
Gaining a rebound than would have gone to another teammate and gaining one of these highly contested rebounds should have different values.

Creating extra possessions for your team can sometime be less easily perceived than the stats state indirectly.

How the eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis System express as a number or measure or quantity who are those players that help a team gain those additional extra possessions ?

Just in the actual "live Chat" from the Annual eBA Clinic, ( every Saturday 08:00 and 21:00 GMT ) we are working on this concept: the creation of extra possessions for one´s team can sometime be less easily perceived than the stats suggest, so we are looking for new ways to discover and to quantify those players that help a team gain those additional extra possessions.

I think the best way to assign province and responsibility' assignment for possessions with few mistakes is based on the how many possessions end up in positive and negative results as a consequence of TO, steals, FG%, etc. But we have to consider that there are players who have impact to a very great degree on possessions that are not well measured by the traditional statistics.

The eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis System is an excellent way to get or measure the impact those role players perform but don't get credit for in the stats sheet. The statistics analysis do an excellent work of revealing us which players do and do not gain those "extra" possessions for their teams, as well as indicating us those players who lose a lot of possessions for their teams without returning those numbers back.

A selected excerpt from the discussions at the eBA Annual Analysis System Clinic Chat about this topic "Basketball Rebounds".
