Message: [QUOTE="bluestreak, post: 4661026, member: 5980"] I've been rewatching some highlights for the second, or third time, and started to look for what I'll call, for lack of a proper term, the ricochet assist. (If there is an official term, please educate me). The setup is when there is one or two quick touch pass(es), used to get the best angle to the open shooter, for the shot. It is a thing of beauty and very hard to defend when done in rapid fire. You can see how it frustrates and deflates the defenders.This year's huskies had 684 assists on the season and I believe the ability to get the ball to the assistor is one of the reasons. It shows up over and over in this year's highlights. To me it represents good, pure, team basketball. Another reason this year's team was so much fun to watch. We had good passers. I'm sure there are drills that all couches run in practice but I don't notice much of it from other teams in games. [/QUOTE]
