Message: [QUOTE="stamfordhusky, post: 2638360, member: 649"] Not necessarily true. There are many assists where the scorer takes two or more dribbles. What matters is if the pass creates an open path to the basket or in some way makes the basket possible. The NCAA Statisticians Manual says: "An assist should be more than a routine pass that just happens to be followed by a field goal. It should be a conscious effort to find the open player or to help a player work free. [B]There should not be a limit on the number of dribbles by the receiver.[/B] There is no restraint on the distance or type of shot made, for these are not the crucial factors in determining whether an assist should be credited."
