Team Possessions Calculator

Definition – What are Team Possessions?

Well, this is embarrassing! We’re not sure. The story behind this calculator is that we put it together, then forgot to write about it. Now we can’t find the source of the information any more. Do you know where this statistic can be referenced? If so, please send us a source via our contact page.

Formula – How to calculate Team Possessions

Team Possessions is calculated as:

0.5 * (Team Stats + Opponent Stats)

Team Stats = (Team Field Goals + 0.4 * Team Free Throw Attempts – 1.07 * (Team Offensive Rebounds / (Team Offensive Rebounds + Opponent Defensive Rebounds)) * (Team Field Goal Attempts – Team Field Goals) + Team Turnovers)

Opponent Stats = (Opponent Field Goal Attempts + 0.4 * Opponent Free Throw Attempts – 1.07 * (Opponent Offensive Rebounds / (Opponent Offensive Rebounds + Team Defensive Rebounds)) * (Opponent Field Goal Attempts – Opponent Field Goals) + Opponent Turnovers)
