This study aims to analyze ball possession loss (Turnovers) and its relationship with the total shooting attempts in different play situations for the teams that qualified for the semifinals of the professional Iraqi Basketball Premier League for the (2023-2024) season. Data were collected from the matches played by the four qualified teams: Al-Naft, Al-Karkh, Al-Shorta, and Al-Difaa Al-Jawi. The study examined the relationship between ball possession loss and total shooting attempts (considering each shot attempts as a possession, control, and offensive play), including two-point attempts, three-point attempts, and free throws resulting from minor personal fouls and compound fouls. The results revealed a negative correlation between ball possession loss and two-point shooting attempts, whereas a positive correlation was observed between ball possession loss and three-point shooting attempts. Furthermore, it was found that teams with fewer turnovers achieved higher shooting accuracy from inside the arc and lower shooting accuracy from beyond the arc. Based on these findings, the study recommends developing fundamental ball-handling skills (passing, dribbling, and fit timing), enhancing offensive tactical diversity and strategy, and reducing defensive errors to increase opportunities for executing free throws.
