Can someone tell me how Defense is calculated?

Is it just points given up or is it points per possession? Or some other metric?

Could make a big difference right?

The *Key* in the link defines it as, "Defensive power to prevent opponent from scoring." 

I don't know how hsratings.com-CalPreps calculates their "Power Ratings" either, but a fair amount of people think they're very good.
