I'm not sure if possessions per 40 minutes is really the best way to measure that kind of thing. Doesn't that pretty much just tell you how long the team takes until they get a shot off? I think to judge the effect on stamina, you'd have to figure out if the players are running around a lot, or just standing around waiting to set something up -- in fact, I'd expect a team that's trying to wear out the opposition to hold on to the ball longer and make the defense chase them around for a while.
