The research has been conducted on sample of 23 national team from cadets’ European basketball division B, that took place in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. All of 93 games were recorded on DVD-s for analysis.

The obtained results showed that there were significant differences in nonstandard statistical parameters of situational efficiency - transitional offensive actions.
