Monday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:

Basketball Starting Centers Merit More Minutes


Dennis Hans says in this article "Starting centers merit more minutes" that the modern center's constant struggle to avoid foul trouble has little to do with the modern game of basketball and proposes four common sense changes:

1) Make non-brutal illegal screens a loss-of-possession violation, like traveling. ...

2) Quit treating intentional fouls as if they were non-intentional. ...

3) Give each team one “foul coupon.” ...

4) Make it a loss-of-possession violation (not a foul) for a low-post player to back, buttwhack or low-shoulder his way into the lane. ...

And I think that in order to recognize the importance of the tall men´s work we must reach the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System and read the chapter of the opponents errors forced by our tall men and the block shots which ends in our baskets on the other side of the court.

Tall men are not as spectacular as the guards, but remember my post with the 'Seven Feet Theory', which is supported by recognized NBA scouters: to win actually a championship you must have a 7 feet ( 2,13 m ) player in the middle of the paint area.

Teams with small players are more spectacular and quick, play funny basketball and may reach the top... but the winners are teams with tall men.

About Tall Men's Shots Related to Game Situation:

The eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis System register each shot of every player, especially from the tall men, related to:

• the game situation (time and score);

• ball location (sideline or endline);

• player location ( location of shot in our 15 zones basketball court diagram );

• type of shot (shot selection);

• shooting clock (seconds remaining);

• shot result ( made or missed ) and

• offensive and defensive alignments for each one of the shots.

The general character and site of the shot attempt can be a manifestation of the stage of difficulty:

1) End-line plays present a bigger menace than sideline out of bounds;

2) In the main, inbounds plays have both inside and outside choices with a condition to keep from performing a 5 second violation;

3) As a whole the first precedence of the defense against end-line out of bounds plays is impeding an easy basket at the rim.

The basketball statistician must knows that The achievement of their objective by the offense or defense returning from a time out in closely contested end game situations are more significant than others - these are about entirely sideline plays

The eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System also registers the success rates of a specific team or coach after a timeout, both the offense and defense should are analyzed.
