Assists Per Game
In basketball, an assist is attributed to a player who passes the ball to a teammate in a way that leads directly to a score by field goal, meaning that they were "assisting" in the basket. An assist is also credited when a basket is awarded due to defensive goaltending. There is some judgment involved in deciding whether a passer should be credited with an assist. An assist can be scored for the passer even if the player who receives the pass makes a basket after dribbling the ball for a short distance. However, the original definition of an assist did not include such situations,Hal BockGive an assist to NBA, ''The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel'', April 28, 2002. so the comparison of assist statistics across eras is a complex matter.

A pass that leads to a shooting foul and scoring by free throws does not coun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The various styles of the fast break–derivative of the original created by Frank Keaney–are seen as the best method of providing action and quick scores.Practical Modern Basketball, Second Addition, John R. Wooden, 1980 p.153 A fast break may result from cherry picking. Description In a typical fast-break situation, the defending team obtains the ball and passes it to the fastest player, who sets up the fast break. That player(usually the smaller point guard, in the case of basketball) then speed-dribbles the ball up the court with several players trailing on the wings. He then either passes it to another player for quick scoring or takes the shot himself. If contact is made between him and a defender from behind while on a fast break, an ...
