I like to think that I have some intelligence but sometimes I doubt it. I want to clarify a couple of statistics. I think I understand them both but I have a scenario that is wildly hypothetical that will help me clarify it and perhaps lead to another question-
Team A wins the tip in the first quarter and begins a possession. They take the ball down the court and shoot but miss and get the rebound. Let's say that continues for the entire first quarter where team A keeps shooting missing and getting the rebound for a total of 50 shots and rebounds with the quarter ending 0-0. Team A would have 50 possessions correct? Team B 0? The pace of the first quarter would be 25?
If I'm basically correct is there a stat for trips up the court? For example Team A only had one trip up the court and maintained possesion. Is there another name for 'trips up the court'?

Re: Pace vs Possession
In your scenario team A would only have 1 possession. A possession can have multiple shots and is effected by offensive rebounds. To steal Ben Falk's wording from CTG...
A possession starts when a team gets the ball and ends when they lose it. A play ends when the team attempts a shot, goes to the foul line, or turns the ball over. If a team gets an offensive rebound, that results in a continuation of a possession but a new play. So a possession can have multiple plays.

Re: Pace vs Possession
Thank you. I read a definition but must have missed the offensive rebound section.
