How are Transition & Half-Court possessions defined?
Transition possessions are defined as any possession ending in the first 10 seconds of the shot-clock that is not after a stoppage of play
Stoppage of play defined as: Substitution, Foul, Timeout , Ejection, Out of Bounds, Blood Rule, Equipment Malfunction, Injury, Court CleanUp
Half-Court possessions are any possession not defined as a transition possession
Possessions ending after the first 10-seconds of the shot clock
Possessions that start after a stoppage of play
A possession starts when a team gains control of the ball. This includes:
Tip-Off: Every game and each overtime period begins with a tip-off. The team that secures the ball from the tip-off is considered to have the first possession of the game or the overtime.
Made Basket: After a team scores (except in cases of an and-one), the opposing team starts a new possession when they inbound the ball.
Defensive Rebound: When a team misses a shot and the opposing team secures the rebound, the rebounding team starts a new possession.
Turnover: If a team loses the ball to the opposing team without attempting a shot, this is recorded as a turnover. The team that gains the ball starts a new possession. Common turnovers include steals, bad passes, traveling violations, offensive fouls, loose ball, etc.
Foul Shots:
After Made Free Throws: If the last free throw attempt is made (except in and-one situations), the opposing team starts a new possession by inbounding the ball.
After Missed Free Throws: If the last free throw attempt is missed and the opposing team secures the rebound, they start a new possession.
Out-of-Bounds: If the ball goes out of bounds and is awarded to the opposing team, the team inbounding the ball starts a new possession.
Violation: Possession can start following a violation by the opposing team. Common violations include shot clock violations, lane violations during free throws, or inbounding violations.
Jump Ball: Other than the initial tip-off, any jump ball situation during the game leads to a new possession for the team that secures the ball.
Start of a Period: The team that inbounds the ball at the beginning of a quarter (other than the first quarter and overtime) starts with possession.
After a Stoppage in Play: This includes situations like after a timeout or an official's review, where play is resumed with a team inbounding the ball.
