Message: [QUOTE="cabbie191, post: 3384692, member: 417"] We often have discussions about turnovers and assists as measures of how a player or team is doing. I have a couple of questions regarding turnovers and how they fit into official game stats that I hope some of our experts might be able to answer. First, when there is a shot clock violation, that's considered a turnover. Does it get assigned to whichever player had the ball last when the referee blows his/her whistle? Or is there such a thing as a "team" turnover that doesn't really get reflected in the stat sheet. Second, is an offensive foul considered a turnover when it comes down to official stats? New Years Eve, my wife and I went to the Penn State @ Michigan game. If their performance this game is indicative of their season, it's easy to see why PSU has a losing record : 5 assists, 23 turnovers [/QUOTE]
