Everything being equal rebounds and turnovers etc. a team that shoots the ball in 20 seconds versus a team that shoots it in 27 seconds would get 15 shots a quarter to 11 for the 27 second shooter. There is no way that a team shooting it every 27 seconds can get up as many shots as a team shooting it every 20 seconds in a forty minute game. It comes out to 60 shots to 44 all other things being equal.
Sure you can make shots other ways. The entire point of this is if one team shoots the ball every 20 seconds and the other every 27 seconds and all other things are equal who gets the most shots? You think the team that shoots it 27 second does? Or gets the same amount of shots in a game? All things being equal it would be 60 to 44 sorry I'm tired of explaining that point.
I just did the math above. You're leaving out that possessions alternate, so the team shooting in 20 seconds is speeding up the overall turnaround time for possessions for BOTH teams, not just the faster team. That strategy will give both teams more possessions. The team that uses more shot clock will get the ball back sooner because the faster team time of possession will be shorter, so more possessions will be available. Once you add in rebounds and turnovers, there's an opportunity to take possessions away from the other team, or to take more shots during the same possession, and that's how you can get a shot discrepancy. But shooting quicker doesn't mean you'll automatically get more possessions or shot attempts.
Ok in five minutes how many shots can a team shooting every 20 seconds get. In five minutes how many shots can a team shooting 27 seconds get. They got five minutes each all other things are equal. How many shots does each team get in their five minutes. Because the clock runs out every quarter at ten minutes. Not talking about possessions shots on goal. I'm not adding anything it is all equal just one team shoots in 20 and the other shoots in 27.
Again, you're ignoring the fact that possessions alternate. In five minutes, with team A shooting every 20 sec and team B shooting every 27 sec, that means possession will alternate every 47 seconds. Assuming 1 shot per possession, one team will get 6 possessions/shots and one team will get 7 possessions/shots, depending on who has the ball first.
That would be 300 seconds in 5 minutes. 20 seconds+27 seconds each time is 47 seconds. 47 seconds goes into 300 about 6.38 times. Each team would get 6 possessions all things being equal(no turnovers or o boards. That leaves about 17 extra seconds left in that 5 minute stretch. Technically, you might get 1 extra possession with all things being equal.
Let's see if this can end this back-and-forth for good...
I'm not forgetting that they alternate. The team that shoots in 20 seconds gets three shots in two minutes compared to only two for the 27 second shooting team. That is 1 minute and 54 seconds and the team that shoots it in 20 has the ball back again before the two minutes is up. So run that five times and see how many shots each team gets. 15 times 20 versus 27 times 11 will get you to 10 minutes.
I’m really trying not to be argumentative with you, In a 10 minute quarter there are 600 seconds total, each team together takes 47 seconds combined in this scenario. 600 divided by 47 is 12.76. Each team would get 12 possessions, plus there would be an extra 35.72 seconds with all things being equal. So team A runs their twenty second play in that last 35.72 seconds for their 13th possession. Team B would then have 15.72 seconds to run their 13th possession. They would still have the same amount of possessions, just team B would half the time to run their 27 second play.
