The application of the model in sport science research studies will allow the recognition of prevailing game tendencies in the basketball, thus enabling,through the calculated parameters, the recognition whether there are any tendencies to control game intensity, what are the levels of tactical combinatory, and what are the preferred tactical models of particular teams.The future research guidelines should establish and explain the relationships and connectionsbetween particular game states and game phases, and the determination of numerical values in the proposed operational model. So, the analysis of transition probabilities matrix values should probably be a considerable contribution to the situational approach in the empirical verification of basketball regularities and balanced game principle.
