Question about box score stat meaning

A team rebound is any time the ball bounces after a shot and lets say goes out of bounds. The ball is still a rebound but no particular person got it and possession goes to the other team so it counts as a team rebound.

A team foul is only committed on the defensive end of the basketball court. If you commit an offensive foul that is not considered a team foul but just a foul on you personally. Does not go towards the foul penalty.

Hope that helps.

 

good call, i never knew what team rebound meant

here is another question:

does a tip in count as a offensive rebound?

 

I do believe a tipin counts as an offensive rebound, yes.

 

Yes...you get an offensive rebound and points out of it. =)

 

As long as the original shot is a legit one (judged by refs or official stat keeper) ... ask Bob Sura or Ricky Davis about that specific aspect.

 

Not a problem. Glad i could help.

 

I believe you also see "team rebound" when someone shooting freethows misses the first one. I'm not positive, so just watch the play-by-play when Shaq is at the line...

 

Now a simple question.

Lets say Charlie Ward was fouled in the act of shooting but he is injured and cannot take the foul shots himself, who will the points be attributed to lets say Jon Barry is selected by the coach to take the FT shots on Charlie's behalf?

Obviously if Jon takes the FT it automatically means Charlie cannot return to the game but I have forgotten who gets the points. My guess will be Jon Barry but I am not sure.

 

I know what you are talking about and I believe that is just an electronic error (programming issue). If a player is at the line to shoot two free throws and misses the first one a rebound cannot be recorded because that shot is not a "reboundable" shot. A rebound only counts when a shot is reboundable.

And to piggy back on that, if some blocks a shot at the three point arc and "gets" or "secures" the ball following the block, will it be counted as a block and rebound or a block and steal?

 

First of all, the opposing coach would pick the new freethrow shooter to replace Ward... I doubt he'd pick Barry.

I believe Ward could come back later in the game, but the points would be awarded to the shooter.

 

You're right, they aren't recorded as team rebounds in any official stats... but for some reason, the play-by-play does label it as a team rebound.

And I often see block/rebound... never block/steal... it would probably just be recorded as a steal unless the player whose shot was blocked got the ball back (only to have it stolen from him).

 

I believe the opposing coach only chooses who takes the FT only when the exiting player left because of a technical foul or ejection. In the case of injury, the injured player's coach chooses his replacement/FT shooter.

And I also believe that if someone else shoots a FT shot for you because of injury, you are prohibited from returning to the game. This rule I am sure of unless if it was changed recently. I stand corrected.

 

i have always heard that missing the first free throw goes as a rebound. essentially, every missed shot in a game must have an associated rebound. thus a team rebound in that case.

as for choosing the free throw shooter, i've never seen the shooter's coach get to pick the replacement. otherwise, shaq could just fake an injury with 10 seconds left on important free throws and get someone else in there who is awesome. now i'm pretty sure you have to leave the game for good if someone shoots the free throw for you which keeps shaq from faking an injury every time he goes to the line.

 

Here's one I've been wondering about. I'm petty sure I've heard it answered before somewhere, but I can't remember what the answer is.

Let's say T-Mac makes a slick pass to Yao who is standing wide open under the basket. Yao goes up for the dunk, but gets hacked, misses the dunk, whistle blows, Yao to the free throw line.

If Yao would have made the shot, it would have been an assist for the passer (T-Mac).

But, since Yao missed the FG and was fouled in the act of shooting, he goes to the free throw line instead for two free throws.

If:

A) Yao makes 0 of 2 free throws, does T-Mac get credit for an assist? ( I assume the answer to this one has to be "No")

B) Yao makes 1 of 2 free throws, does T-Mac get credit for an assist?

C) Yao makes 2 of 2 free throws, does T-Mac get credit for an assist?

Thank you, kind sirs.

 

No, he would not get credit for an assist in any scenario.

 

you absolutely do not get an assist if the guy is fouled, misses the shot and hits both free throws.
