Basketball Statistics Analysis Referred Concepts:
Team Offensive / Defensive Rebounds

"... How we define a team offensive / defensive rebound in order to analyze what percentage of rebounds are team boards in comparison to player credited rebounds according to the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System ?

To begin the discussion, we must find the correct and most comprehensive definition of a 'basketball team rebound'.

The NBA statisticians' manual under the rebound section describes 'team' rebounds as:

2. ...If, before the buzzer sounded, no player had gained control of the rebound, award a team rebound to the team whose player attempted the shot.

4. .... a.- To the team to which the ball is awarded out of bounds or at the free throw line as a result of a missed field goal attempt or free throw attempt. This includes circumstances when:

(I) the ball goes out of bounds without any player having secured possession;
(II) a free attempt misses the rim;
(III) the shooter commits a free throw violation;
(IV) the first free throw attempt is missed in a two shot free throw situation;
(V) a loose ball foul is called immediately following a missed filed goal attempt or free throw attempt;
(VI) a technical foul shot missed;

b.- To a team that first gains possession following a jump ball when such a jump ball immediately follows a missed field goal attempt or free throw attempt, before any player is credited with an individual rebound.

5. Following a missed shot (either field goal or free throw) when a live ball becomes dead due to the expiration of a period, credit a team rebound to the team whose player attempted that shot.

And now, with the right concept in mind, we'll begin the discussion about the statistical registration..."
