About a Basketball Rebounds Statistics Tracking Case Study

" ... A missed shot comes off the rim and bounces along the floor. A1 is in position to pick up the ball, but B5 gains control. However, B5 fouls A1

1. before either can touch the ball;

2. as B5 is the first to touch the ball;

3. after B5 is first to gain control of the ball; or

4. after A1 is first to touch the ball.

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 be credited with a rebound only if the player earned that rebound before the ball was dead.
What happened after the ball became dead and what would have happened had the ball not become dead might be different.

eBA System Statistics Fundamentals:

The statistician should not attempt to decide what would have happened, but should decide only what did happen.
However, if there is doubt about player control, the statistician may assume that there was control.

Sometimes there is doubt about whether a player has gained control of the ball before a certain act takes place. In such cases, the statistician should use the following guidelines.
(a) If the statistician feels there was a possibility of player control, then the play shall be treated as though there was player control.
(b) If the statistician feels there definitely was not a possibility of player control, then it shall be treated as though there was no player control.

eBA Basketball Statistical Tracking:

In 1., the ball became dead when the foul was committed. Credit Team A with a dead-ball rebound.

In 2., if B5 gained control before the foul, the official will have indicated that the foul was a player-control foul and B5 would be credited with an individual LONG or CLOSE DISPUTED rebound and charged with a FORCED turnover. If there is no indication
of player control, then credit Team A with a dead-ball rebound.

In 3., credit B5 with an individual LONG or CLOSE DISPUTED rebound and charge him with a FORCED turnover.

In 4., if the statistician thinks that A1 possibly had control before the foul,
credit A1 with an individual LONG or CLOSE DISPUTED rebound. If the statistician thinks that A1 definitely did not have control, credit Team A with a dead-ball rebound.

Conclusion:

eBA System Statistics Fundamentals:

A free throw made (FTM) is credited to a player any time a FTA by that player results in the throw being counted or results in an awarded score of one point.

Basketball Statistics Philosophy:

A player should not be charged for a shot from the field influenced by the illegal actions of himself, or any teammates or opponents; in the latter case, unless the shot results in a FGM.

About Basketball Turnovers Tracking Case Study

" ... A2 is in control of the ball and is tied up by B5. Team A is awarded the ball for a throw-in. Before the throw-in takes place;


1.- A3 is charged with a technical foul, Team B shoots two free throws and Team A is awarded the ball for a throw-in; or

2.- B4 is charged with a technical foul, Team A shoots two free throws and Team A is awarded the ball for a throw-in.

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:

eBA System Statistics Fundamentals:

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.

Basketball Statistics Philosophy:

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.

That said, a turnover should be 'forced'. or 'unforced' according to our eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System, when also are track the turnover against the 24 second-clock, recording the court placement, the play situation ( 1x1, 1x2, etc. ) and the points-off that turnover.

eBA Basketball Statistical Tracking:

• In 1.-, since Team B is awarded two free throws for the technical, charge A3 with a UNFORCED TURNOVER in the 'TF Category'.

Since Team A was awarded the ball do not charge A2 with a turnover in either case.

• In 2.-, do not charge B4 with a turnover, but record this instance againdt B4 in the play-by-play report !.

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:

A field-goal attempt (FGA) is charged to a player any time the player shoots, throws or taps a live ball at his own basket, when, in the opinion of the statistician, the player is attempting to score a goal.

A field goal made (FGM) is credited to a player any time a FGA by the player results in the goal being counted or results in an awarded score of two (or three) points except when the field goal is the result of a defensive player tipping the ball in the offensive basket.

If the statistician is in doubt about whether a shooting foul is a player-control foul, the actions of the officials will indicate the correct ruling. If the foul is a player-control foul, it will be so indicated by the officials and any shot will be waved of.

The statistician must records each shot related to the game situation (time and score) - ball location (sideline or endline)
- player location ( location of shot in our 15 zones basketball court diagram )
- type of shot (shot selection)
- shooting clock (seconds remaining)
- shot result ( made or missed ) and offensive and defensive alignments.

eBA Basketball Statistical Tracking:

In all cases, no turnover is charged.

In 1.- the horn is ignored. Charge A1 with a FGA and, if the shot is good, credit A1 with a FGM in the last 4 of the 24 seconds shooting clock.

In 2.-, 3.- and 4.-, charge A1 with a FGA and credit Team B with a dead-ball rebound in the "24 Sec Violation" category.

In 5.-, charge A1 with a FGA and credit B5 with a close, long, disputed or undisputed rebound, depending upon the game situation.
