Shot Clock and a Desperation Shot... Case Study

" ... As the shot clock is about to expire, A1 takes a desperation shot. The shot is batted away by B2 just before the shot clock sounds. ...

(a) A5 catches the ball and the referees rule the play dead for the shot-clock violation;

(b) B4 catches the ball and the referees rule the play dead for the shot-clock violation; or

(c) B4 catches the ball and play continues with no shot-clock violation called.

What is the proper ruling and the correct INDIVIDUAL or COLLECTIVE statistical registration according to the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System including the type of the registration ( type of turnover; forced, unforced, individual or collective turnover, good or bad foul; close, long, disputed or undisputed rebound; assist made, potential, missed or double assist; etc. ) ... ?"

Conclusion:

Basketball Statistics Philosophy:

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 System Statistics Fundamentals:

If the statistician’s opinion is that it is truly a “desperation” shot then there is no a FGA charge. But the statistician must be sure about the previous play situation,
before charging a INDIVIDUAL or a TEAM turnover in this case !

eBA Basketball Statistical Tracking:

• In all cases, if the statistician’s opinion is that it is truly a “desperation” shot then there is no FGA, but there is a FORCED ( by the opponent - player or team - defense ! ) TURNOVER, probably charged to A1 or against the Team A depending on the play situation.
Because there is no FGA, there is no rebound and no blocked shot.

• In (c), credit B2 with a Deflection and also credit B4 with a UNFORCED STEAL.
