When you assign the rate to an assist in your article "Formulas Revision":



you equally refers to all the assists: INCLUDING THE POTENTIALS AND THE MISSED ?

It is assigned the rate to a MADE assist, meanwhile the POTENTIALS AND THE MISSED, as studied



in its definitions - see the Global Basketball Directory - are assists NOT CONCRETIZED and are used ONLY as an analysis element - see the eBA Analysis System.

For the eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis the most important pass in Basketball is not the assist, but the pass that leads to the assist. A Basketball play usually develops with two or three passes before the score. And the game analyst see plays begin to develop long before they actually happen. Team's strong inclination for making the right pass early in a possession often leads to an easy shot – even when he doesn't get the assist.

As referred in the last message, when we speaks about potential assists as the assists NOT CONCRETIZED, by example
potential assists disappointingly unsuccessful by fouls, bad bounces or missed shot from sure points as under the basket.


Finally you can read our statistical assists analysis: "A player is credited with an assist when the player makes, in the judgment of the statistician, the principal pass contributing directly to a field goal (or an awarded score of two or three points). Only one assist is to be credited on any field goal and only when the pass was a major part of the play. Such a pass should be either: a.- a pass that finds a player free after he or she has maneuvered without the ball for a positional advantage, or: b.- a pass that gives the receiving player a positional advantage, he or she otherwise would not have had.
Philosophy. 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. There should not be a limit on the number of dribbles by the receiver. It is not even necessary that the assist be given on the last pass. 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. "

The assists topic was summarized at " ASSISTS: A question about good passes & others".
