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