Does that include not getting off a shot at the end of a quarter because time runs out on you? I thought the other team had to get a possession for the event to be a turnover. Isn't that what turnover means - you "turned the ball over to the other team"?

When I coached, we called it a "turnover" everytime we had the ball and didn't get off a shot, so I would add team control and player control fouls to JRutledge's list. I'm not sure about blocked shots, but I think that it's also a turnover.

BktBallRef agrees with you in response #6.
