ASSIST IS THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL STAT KEPT

"...I have often wondered about the awarding of assists in basketball.
In hockey, it's pretty much direct and preserved.
But after watching European basketball for over 10 years, I'm still
not sure what actually qualifies as an assist in a basketball game.
And, quite frankly, I don't think those responsible for keeping live-time stats during Euroleague games know for sure, either.

Then, what about a fast break basket where the pass is moved up the floor to a wide open player that catches (at just inside the half) and takes 3-4 dribbles before laying it in ? I say assist but some of the definitions say no assist.

In fact, awarding assists in basketball might be the most controversial stat kept. ..." (Posted at the eBA Forum by the Registered Member 'green_peace' )

The case presented in the last message: a fast break basket where the pass is moved up the floor to a wide open player that catches (at just inside the half) and takes 3-4 dribbles before laying it in, is only one of the cases we analyze in the eBA Basketball Statistics Register Clinic.

You are right, awarding assists in basketball might be the most controversial stat kept, but in the eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis System we include a whole chapter dedicated to assists and make clear the concepts and the register process. (from the eBA Forums )

Basketball History's Corner: USA - USSR 1972 FINAL

The 1972 Olympics marked the first time that the United States did not win the gold medal in Olympic basketball since the sport's introduction as an official medal event at the 1936 Summer Olympics.

The gold medal game between the United States and Soviet Union remains very controversial to this day. The Soviets had a 49-48 lead and committed a hard foul on Doug Collins with three seconds left. Collins made two free throws to put the U.S. up 50-49, and the Soviets inbounded the ball quickly. Referee Renaldo Righetto of Brazil stopped play with one second on the clock. USSR coach Vladimir Kondrashkin had attempted to call time out between Collins' free throws and it was awarded.

The inbounds pass was intercepted and the United States players and coaches celebrated their victory. But the head of the FIBA Renato William Jones ordered that the clock be reset to three seconds, the time that was on the clock when Kondrashkin tried to call time. The Soviets inbounded the ball for a third time, and this time, Alexander Belov scored a lay-up and the USSR won the game 51-50, which not only meant that they got the gold medal, but they also dealt the United States their first loss in Olympic basketball competition.

The members of the United States team have remained upset of the outcome of the game ever since. They refused to accept the Olympic silver medal during the medal ceremony, and on an appeal, the five-judge appeal panel had judges from the USSR, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Italy and Romania. The vote was 3-2 to reject the appeal.

One-on-one: with Rockets General Manager DARYL MOREY

“We're planning to sign Luis Scola and he's excited to play in Houston. We expect to see him in a Rockets uniform next year. Luis is very motivated to come to the league and is very motivated to play with Yao (Ming) and Tracy (McGrady)." Morey says.
“The Spurs gave us permission to speak with him about three days ago, and we had a long conversation.”

"Defensively he has a pretty complete game in terms of an offensive skill-set, defensive integrity,”
"Luis is one of the top five international players not currently in the NBA,"
"He didn’t win any of the Euroleague Final Fours that Tau Ceramica played in the past three years, but make no mistake - this guy is a winner."
"On the court, he plays facing the basket, or with his back to the basket. He’s deadly shooting the ball from 10 to 15 feet, but isn’t a three-point shooter."
"Scola, 27, was selected by San Antonio with the 56th overall pick in the 2002 draft and wanted to join the Spurs before the 2006-07 campaign but was unable to negotiate a move which included meeting a buyout clause with Spanish giants Tau Ceramica."
"The 2004 Olympic gold medal winner was arguably Argentina’s best player at the Athens Games, averaging 17.6 points and 5.0 rebounds as they beat Team USA’s NBA stars in the semi-final and then Italy in the gold medal game."
"He will lead his country at the FIBA Americas Championship this year when the team attempts to qualify for the Olympics again."
"He adds experience and toughness at a position of need on our roster and is an NBA-ready player with a very high basketball IQ. We expect him to have an immediate impact on our team." resumes Morey.

"I always tried to make clear that Basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live.

There is only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in the hands of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes nowhere......

.......It is most difficult, in my mind, to separate any success, whether it be in your profession, your family, or as in my case, in Basketball, from religion."

John Wooden, American Basketball Coach, author of "They Call Me Coach".
