1. Correct.

2. I believe so.

3. I believe 2 made FTs constitute an assist?

4. Depends on how much the deflection impacted the pass.

5. No.

6. Only if the FG is made.

1. No, as a rebound needs to involve glass

3. Yes, as long as one free throw attempt is scored

Or 'rebound' can be off of a player you blocked I suppose? As it 'rebounded' off of your opponent.

re questions 6 -thats why foul shots are separate to field attempts

I am a SBL/NBL Statistician....answers below.

1. If you block a shot and simultaneously grab the ball are you awarded a block and a rebound? YES

2. If you inbound the ball to someone that scores soon after do you get an assist? DEPENDING ON WHAT THE RECEIVING PLAYER DOES. CATCH AND SHOOT - YES

3. If you pass to someone who is fouled while shooting and misses the shot but makes at least one free-throw do you get an assist? YES

4. If you pass a ball that is defected by an opposition player, then the ball goes to a player on your team from the deflection who scores, do you get an assist? NO

5. If you are given a technical foul that also gives the opposition possession do you get a turnover as well as a foul assigned to you? ONLY IF THE TEAM THAT WAS TECH FOULED WAS IN POSSESSION AT THE TIME.

6. If you are fouled while taking a shot and it misses does this count as a shot attempt or only if it goes in? DOES NOT COUNT AS A SHOT ATTEMPT

While we're asking questions:

If two players on opposing teams simultaneously come down with a rebound and a held ball is called, does the player whose team has the arrow get credited with the board?

If a held ball is forced during a possession and the arrow is with the defensive team, is that a steal to the defensive player and a turnover to the offensive player?

Are eight- and 24-second violations given to the player possessing the ball at the time of the violation, or just the team?

anon 390-------you are a clown....

Anon 390. You are a complete moron. I hope you don't harbour any ambitions to record stats at any level because you wouldn't last one game.

You haven't even got the understanding to recognise you are being provided with quality information from someone that has performed the task at a high level.

You loser!

What level is an assist given on a made free throw?

I believe it was under FIBA rules years ago but thought that changed. It certainly isn't in the NBA or NBL.

I have been a SBL statistician for 27 years and can confirm Red74's answers.

For the idiot questioning some of the answers, maybe he needs to question FIBA themselves, as it's their guidelines we follow.

Thanks to the stats bench guys for chipping in with real answers.

I've been doing stats at International, NBL and occasionally SBL level since 1990 so this falls in my wheelhouse fairly nicely.

From the OP, all of the main questions have been answered accurately (eventually) except for Q2. As for the FIBA guidelines from 1/5/16....

Definition of an assist;

- a pass to a player inside the paint, who scores from inside the paint is always an assist
- a pass to a player outside the paint, who scores without dribbling is always an assist
- a pass to a player outside the point, who scores after one or more dribbles, is considered an assist if the shooter is not guarded directly in front of him / facing him. The same principle applies in fast break situations, with a pass to a player at half court

Other notes;

- FT - must make at least one to be credited with an assist
- Distance and type of shot and the ease in which the player scores are not relevant
- No assist shall be given in a fast break situation if the player receives the pass in their own half court

For those looking to increase their knowledge in this area....

- a pass to a player inside the paint, who scores from inside the paint is always an assist
- a pass to a player outside the paint, who scores without dribbling is always an assist

By that definition you get an assist for passing to someone on the perimeter who spends five seconds throwing fakes before shooting.

You can get a lot done between a paint catch and a score, too.
