The +/- or charting was something I recall from HS and proved to be an interesting gauge as the season went on. I don't recall the exact values but something along the lines of:
+2 steal / -2 turnover
+1 offensive rebound / +2 defensive rebound to emphasize defense
+1 made free throw / -1 missed
+3 taking a charge
+2 blocked shots
I actually hate this type of +/- stats. My high school coach used to it and called it APV (Assigned Point Value), it was stupid and provided no real measure of anything. Personal opinion not attacking your idea. Sorry had a bad expirience with it in high school and has always annoyed me.
I think the previous poster was talking more about a +/- stat like hockey. Is the team +/- as a whole while "so and so" is on the court.
