The Rebounds per Game calculator computes the average number of offensive and defensive rebounds per basketball game. It also computes the total number of rebounds, fewest (min) and most (max) rebounds in a game.
INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:
- (oReb) Offensive Rebounds. Enter comma separated values for number of offensive rebounds in games (e.g., 3,5,0,1,2,0,3 ). Be sure to enter zeros for games with no turnovers.
- (dReb) Defensive Rebounds. Enter comma separated values for number of defensive rebounds in games (e.g., 3,5,0,1,2,0,3 ). Be sure to enter zeros for games with no turnovers.
- (NM) Enter Player's Name
Rebounds per Game (APG): The calculator returns the following statistics about Rebounds:
- (APG) Rebounds per Game: This is the average number of Rebounds per game across the games entered.
- (n) Number of Games: This is the number of games entered.
- (nTT) Total Number of Rebounds: This is the total number (sum) of all of the Rebounds in all the games.
- (tDR) Total Defensive Rebounds: This is the total number of defensive rebounds in all the games.
- (dMin) Fewest Defensive Rebounds: This is the minimum single number of Offensive and Defensive Rebounds in a game.
- (dMax) Most Defensive Rebounds: This is the maximum single number of Offensive and Defensive Rebounds in a game.
- (tOR) Total Defensive Rebounds: This is the total number of defensive rebounds in all the games.
- (oMin) Fewest Offensive Rebounds: This is the minimum single number of Offensive and Defensive Rebounds in a game.
- (oMax) Most Offensive Rebounds: This is the maximum single number of Offensive and Defensive Rebounds in a game.
The Math / Science
In basketball, a rebound refers to the act of gaining possession of the basketball after a missed shot. There are two main types of rebounds:
- Offensive Rebound: When a player from the offensive team grabs the ball after their team's missed shot, giving their team another opportunity to score. Offensive rebounds are valuable as they reset the shot clock and give the team a second chance to score points.
- Defensive Rebound: When a player from the defensive team grabs the ball after an opponent's missed shot, allowing their team to regain possession and transition to offense. Defensive rebounds are crucial for stopping the opposing team from scoring and starting a fast break or initiating their own offensive play.
Rebounding is an essential skill in basketball, requiring players to anticipate the ball's trajectory, position themselves effectively, and use their physicality and jumping ability to secure the ball amidst opponents. Players who excel at rebounding often contribute significantly to their team's success by providing extra scoring opportunities or preventing the opposing team from scoring second-chance points.
- Assists per Game: Enter comma separated values for the number of assists in each game (e.g., 2,4,0,0,4,5,6), and compute the assists per game average, number of games, total assists, fewest assists (min), and most assists (max)
- Turnovers per Game: Enter comma separated values for the number of turnovers in each game (e.g., 2,4,0,0,4,5,6), and compute the turnovers per game average, number of games, total turnovers, fewest turnovers (min), and most turnovers (max).
- Rebounds per Game: Enter comma separated values for the number of defensive rebounds and offensive rebounds in each game (e.g., 2,4,0,0,4,5,6), and compute the rebounds per game average, number of games, total rebounds, fewest rebounds (min), and most rebounds (max), and then the same stats for defensive and offensive rebounds (total, average, min and max).
- Fouls per Game: Enter comma separated values for the number of fouls in each game (e.g., 2,4,0,0,4,5,6), and compute the fouls per game average, number of games, total fouls across all games, fewest fouls (min), and most fouls (max).
- Free Throw Percentage: Computes the free-throw percentage based on free throws attempted and made.
- Basketball Scoring Efficiency: Computes an efficiency metric based on a collection of stats associated with a player or team across a number of games played.
- Basketball Shooting Efficiency (AKA Effective Field Goal Percentage): Computes the metric based on the number of 2 point and 3 point goals made and the number of attempts within a single game.
- Two Point Shooting Percentage: Compute the percent shooting and total score made on 2 point shots.
- Three Point Shooting Percentage: Compute the percent shooting and total score made on 3s.
- Performance Index Rating: Computes a basketball metric is used by the Euroleague Basketball Company's first and second tier competition, the EuroLeague and the EuroCup. The metric is computed as a function of numerous individual game metrics.
