Turnover (basketball)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In basketball, turnover refers to the loss of the ball by the team in possession. Throwing attempts are not included in the rating of the turnovers as long as they take place without exceeding the rules. Instead, technical errors such as double dribbling (simultaneous ball contact with both hands while dribbling continued ), step errors (running with the ball without dribbling), shoveling (touching the ball on the underside while dribbling) as well as ball loss through steal of the opposing team, bad pass , Movement of the ball outside the boundaries of the playing field, including return leg, offensive fouls, offensive goaltending (illegal ring or basket contact or influencing of an attacker while attempting to throw the own team) and exceeding the respective attack times (three, five, eight and 24 seconds) are evaluated .

Determining who should be credited the turnover is sometimes not easy. If the pass recipient cannot catch the ball despite touching the ball, it is particularly often the case that it is difficult to determine who is responsible for the turnover. If the statistics taker determines that the pass should have been caught, the turnover is also charged to the pass recipient. In some examples, however, the passer may even receive the turnover if the pass arrives, but his teammate steps out because of the pass. The statistics taker must recognize how the turnover originally came about. In the example given, it is the poor pass that causes the ball to be lost.

The FIBA ​​Basketball Statistics Manual considers the following examples to be unambiguous. All other turnovers that do not fit this standard situation are subject to the professional assessment of the statistics taker with regard to the responsibility for their occurrence.

Clear examples:

  1. A5 dribbles on the field and is separated from the ball by an opponent in accordance with the rules. (A5 receives the turnover)
  2. A5 passes the ball straight out; there is no chance for recipient A4 to intervene. (A5 receives a PassingTurnover)
  3. A5 makes a good pass, but A4 drops the ball so B5 can pick it up. (A4 receives a ball-handling turnover, B5 does not receive a steal if he just has to pick up the ball and does not actively contribute positively to the failure of the catch attempt).
  4. A5 commits a rule violation (step error, double dribbling), which leads to the opposing team receiving the ball. (a rule violation turnover is charged to A5)
  5. A5 commits a rule violation while his team is on the offensive either by charging or by violations away from the ball (a turnover is charged to A5).
