Conclusion:

Basketball Statistics Philosophy:
The purpose of a turnover is to reflect statistically the times in which a team was given the ball and should have gotten some kind of shot but, before it could get any kind of shot, made some type of mistake that turned the ball over to the opponent.

eBA System Statistics Fundamentals:
A turnover can only be charged against the offense; that is, the team with the ball. A team becomes the team with the ball when it has control (including during free throws) or is entitled to the ball for either a throw-in or a free throw.

There will be some errors that will not result in the charging of a turnover because they did not involve the turning of the ball over to the opponent.

Errors that occur at approximately the same time a team becomes entitled to the ball should not be considered turnovers.

The team should have time to realize it has the ball before being charged with turnovers.

eBA Basketball Statistical Tracking:
• In all cases, this is a violation and Team B will be awarded the ball. Charge A1 with a FORCED TURNOVER, but no field-goal attempt;

• in (c) the basket does not count, so no field goal made or attempted should be charged.
