At the Block Shot the ball doesn't leave the shooter's hand: Turnover for the shooter, Steal for the blocker; ok?
When the shot is altered, the ball leaves the shooter's hand. What is now the stats rule, eBA?

At the Altered Shot case we have a missed shot for the shooter and a Steal (Block) for the blocker.

This post RESUMES the topic

By definition (see our Global Basketball Directory ) a blocked shot occurs when a defensive player successfully and legally deflects a shot from an offensive player by touching and rejecting the ball on its way to the basket, and before it has reached its highest point, in order to prevent from a field goal.
In order to be a legal action, the block must occur while the shot is traveling upward. It is heading downward when the defender hits it, it is ruled a goaltending and counts as a made basket.

We have an altered shot when a blocker changes the shooter shot causing the shooter to miss the basket.
At our Basketball statistics analysis system we register a Block Shot when the ball doesn't leave the shooter's hand: Turnover for the player in possession, Steal for the blocker; and we have an Altered Shot when the ball leaves the shooter's hand, so we register a missed shot for the shooter and a steal (block) for the defender.

This summary resumes this topic and will be completed at the "Shooting" chapter of the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System. Another Basketball stats topics you'll find at the Basketball Stats Discussions section of our eBA Stats.com site.
