Is a blocked shot and retrieval of that blocked shot


Feb 28, 2022, 1:34 PM

a double stat? That's a block AND a steal. Should be. Just curious. It makes a blocked shot that much more valuable to retain possession rather than the crowd-pleasing swatting it out of bounds where the team retains possession. I never knew when I played because I hardly ever blocked a shot.

It seems like if the shooter is charged with a missed shot attempt from the field you should get credit for a rebound instead of a steal. I don’t know what the statistical rule is though.

You are correct. Every missed shot must have a rebound.

Ball hits rim and goes over the top of the backboard, it's out of bounds and a turnover. So that would not be a rebound.
Likewise, if there are a bunch of people tipping or batting the ball around off a miss, but no one actually possesses it, then gets hit out of bounds, then the ball goes to the team who did not hit it out of bounds. That wouldn't be a rebound either. It would either be the shooting team retaining possession, or the defending team getting a loose ball turnover.

Not every missed shot is going to have a rebound showing up in the stat line.

No, every missed shot has to have a rebound. Either individual, team or dead ball. If there’s not a rebound, then it wasn’t a shot.

Back in the day, a blocked shot was a rebound.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

What if the blocked shot is recovered by the shooter?


Feb 28, 2022, 3:05 PM

This happens quite often.

If a blocked shot is a rebound, is it a steal when the opponent recovers the ball after his shot is blocked?

I played a lot of basketball, but I never worried too much about arcane stats, so I really can’t say.

Still curious though ...

THIS is accurate stat - Block AND Rebound


Feb 28, 2022, 7:33 PM [ in reply to Re: Is a blocked shot and retrieval of that blocked shot ]

It is not a steal

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think it's a block and a rebound but i haven't bothered


Feb 28, 2022, 2:38 PM

to confirm that.

From the “Shooter’s Perspective “ . . .


Feb 28, 2022, 2:44 PM

is it scored as a “Missed Shot” and a “Turnover”??? . . .





Just something to Ponder . . . Sam say, “Hi”.

It would seem doubtful because a blocked shot is probably going to hit the ground, and if the ball hits the ground, technically it's not a rebound.

Actually, it does not matter whether a missed shot hits the floor or not. All missed shots have to be accounted for with rebounds. Otherwise the stat program will explode.

It's a block and a rebound. Shooter gets a missed shot recorded. If it is "swatted" out of bounds, it is a dead ball rebound for the offense. If it is still in play, then the player that gets it is credited with a rebound.

Great explanation.

I've followed Munson's radio call while observing ESPN 's play-by-play tracking, but never grasped why certain blocks led to rebounds but others didn't.

You've provided the "governing principle".

How are you at politics?

Re: Is a blocked shot and retrieval of that blocked shot


Feb 28, 2022, 7:18 PM [ in reply to Re: Is a blocked shot and retrieval of that blocked shot ]

Technically, it's a "team" rebound. A "deadball team" rebound is a special category and does not count in the team stats. A "deadball team" rebound is basically a stoppage of play after a shot is made but before a team secures possession, the exception being a ball ruled out of bounds during the course of play. In that case, a "team" rebound is awarded. Examples of "deadball team" rebounds: A missed shot bounces off the rim and over the backboard; a missed shot bounces off the rim and hits the shot clock; a shot is attempted and missed and, while the ball is still in the air, a player is ruled to have committed a foul; a missed shot fails to hit the rim and, while the ball is still in the air or up for grabs in a scramble on the floor, the 30-second clock goes off. SIDs get ornery when you don't award an individual rebound in the third scenario, but the rule of thumb is that you cannot "assume" a rebound. That is, even though a player clearly WOULD have gotten the rebound had the whistle not blown, you cannot award a rebound if the whistle clearly blew before the ball was secured.

As for a blocked shot and the ensuing rebound, there often is a gray area in terms what constitutes a "shot." But if, in the statistician's mind, it was a clear shot, then there has to be a rebound, NOT a steal. You cannot have a missed shot without a rebound, be it individual, team or "deadball team." Missed shots and rebounds have to balance out. The gray area occurs mostly on shots near the basket, when a defender gets a hand on the ball just as the shooter is going up for the shot. The rule of thumb is, if a ballhandler makes the slightest motion toward the basket with the intent of making a shot, then it is a shot. I am less familiar with the rules of basketball than I am with the statistics manual, but you will see referees apply this same reasoning, perhaps even more so than the stat crew. I have known SIDs to encourage, when in doubt as to whether it was a shot or not, to call it a turnover/steal if a guard is involved and a shot/block when a forward or center is involved, so as to benefit the stats of that particular player. It's not a bad line of logic, but it can be abused.

You can get a block and a rebound, OR you can get a steal. You cannot get a block AND a steal on the same play. Sometimes it's questionable as to whether it was a shot or not, and that is statistician's discretion, unless an overbearing SID comes over with a frown on his face. :)
