Assist, pass leads directly to made field goal – pass, drive to basket and lay-up No Assist, pass does not lead directly to made field goal – pass and jump shot No Assist, pass does not lead directly to made field goal – pass and jump shot
“On this play, the scoring player receives the ball in the mid-post, then holds the ball for several seconds as he pivots to face the basket before scoring the jump shot. An assist is not credited to #21 in the blue uniform, Tyus Jones, since the player who scored received the pass but did not demonstrate an immediate reaction toward the basket. An assist is credited to the player tossing the last pass leading directly to a made field goal, but only if the player scoring the goal demonstrates an immediate reaction toward the basket after receiving the pass. Note also that an inbound pass can be credited as an assist if it leads directly to a field goal. By rule, no more than one assist can be credited for each field goal.”
