A Special Statistical Situation: What happens when a defender forces an offensive player into a jump ball situation?

So... is this an example of Forced Turnover ?

To resume this topic: we have a  turnover when your team has the ball, and you lose it to the other team. A turnover can come in the form of a stolen pass, a pass that you throw out of bounds, it can be where they steal the ball away from your dribbler, it can be where you have a player stand in the paint for over three seconds, etc., etc, etc.
 

When the turnover does occurs or when a bad shot is forced during an ON BALL screen situation, that's means there is a direct influence of an opponent action: the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System referees to it as a FORCED TURNOVER. When the turnover does occur WITHOUT any opponent influence or interference: a bad pass you YOURSELF throw out of bounds, we call it an UNFORCED TURNOVER.
The value of the turnover, doesn't vary in our metric, being the same for both types, but the eBA System report give to the coach the total quantity and percentages of Forced and Unforced Turnovers by separate, leading so to a deeper analysis of our possessions.

The pages of the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System, recently uploaded, shows the applicability and reports with reference the Forced and Unforced Turnovers.
