14/12/06: From the Basketball
Statistics Register Clinic about "Basketball Possessions":
...."
"..... The total
number of possessions a team has can be calculated as
Field Goals Made + Opp Def. Rebounds + Turnovers +
Up to the Line for 2/3 free-throws series)
Meanwhile another formulas use the coefficient "FTA / 2" or "FTA*0.4",
etc., the eBA System uses the exact number of possession ended "up to the
line" for 2 or 3 throws.
This formula, with the "up to the line" coefficient, was basically created
because we felt it was a better evaluation of offensive
and defensive efficiency than to count stats like total rebounds, or total points
scored or allowed or divide the free throws attempts by estimates number of "2"
or multiply by "0.4".
About the rebounds formulas, you hear talk about "win the rebound war, win the
game" what is in general true, but not always. The addition of the 3 point shot to
the game of Basketball causes to re-estimate the value the formula as well. If in short a
team has the opportunity to score at least 3 points on every possession, instead of two,
so we have added an additional variable into the equation.

An additional way of thoughts is that by using FGA as a loss of
possession, a possession is lost every time a ball is shot. As a result a new possession
starts with an offensive rebound. This works against a good offensive rebounding team
because it punishes their Points / Possession evaluation.
To resume this question, as said above, from the moment there is discrepancy between the
number of free throws attempted per game so that the FTA/2 or FTA*0.4 is not always an
evaluation according to the rules, since on any given night the number of 1, 2, or 3 free
throw attempts for each fouled possession will vary. The eBA System uses
the exact number of possession ended "up to the line" for 2 or 3 throws as a
better measure regardless of the total number of attempts. ......."

09/12/2006 - "I always tried to make clear that
Basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life
we live.
There is only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in
the hands of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in
circles and goes nowhere......
.......It is most difficult, in my mind, to separate any success, whether it be in your
profession, your family, or as in my case, in Basketball, from religion."
John Wooden, American Basketball Coach, author of They Call Me Coach.
