In basketball, an act results in a change of possession to the opposing team. This occurs when a player loses control of the ball due to their own error, violating a rule, or an opponent’s defensive action. Examples include passing the ball out of bounds, stepping outside the boundary lines while in possession, committing an offensive foul, or having the ball stolen by a defender.
This event significantly impacts game strategy and outcome. A high frequency of these occurrences can indicate poor ball security, risky passing, or inadequate offensive execution. Historically, teams that minimize such events tend to have a greater chance of success, emphasizing the importance of disciplined play and sound decision-making with the ball.
