So was the ball banked high off the board from Braden driving left side that Zach slammed home, a pass to Zach off the board or badly missed shot. I say a pass and Braden should get another assist!

Absolutely a pass. Braden has done that a lot this year. This one is more obvious than most since he laid it up really high off the glass. I think it was the game before where he was under the backboard (bankboard for me) and he got it with enough angle to bounce back. When Zach is moving down the lane it has been really effective this year. Not all are passes, but a lot are
def a pass, he put that up for banking purposes only
He and Fletcher both. If the clock is running down and Zach is in the paint, just get it on the glass.
I think that's either coaches instruction or they've just worked it out, but it's definitely happening a couple of times a game.

It was a pass and even the commentators were questioning if they should record that as an assist.
A lot of leeway is given to the score keeper in charge of assists. In this case it would be up to them to decide if it was intentional or he was really trying to shoot the ball.
In looking at the rules I learned something: Player A passes a long pass down the court to player B, Player B misses the layup but rebounds it and puts it in before defense arrives, Player A still gets an assist. Just thought that was interesting.

So does the guy that missed the shot get charged with a missed shot and rebound too?
The thought years ago was it had to directly lead to a basket (dribbling could inhibit it). What I do know is that winning is more important to Braden than his stats even if they to "many" are symbolic to how well he plays. Like any player he wants to be recognized for his achievements, but winning is at the top. Now that people recognize how good he is I will now say that he came to Purdue wanting to lead them to a Final Four. Championships are what he craves...
Yeah , I can recall a guy years ago that would miss at point blank, get the offensive board and hit the next one. That would show 1 offensive board and 50% FG...
George McGinnis got a few extra rebounds doing that.Yeah , I can recall a guy years ago that would miss at point blank, get the offensive board and hit the next one. That would show 1 offensive board and 50% FG...
That's what happens when announcers don't know the teams and players. I remember when Jimmy Oliver played in a senior all-star game and banked in a long 3-pointer, which he had been doing his entire career. The announcers laughed and joked that he would say that he did it on purpose, when in fact, he did.
Yep...Jimmy used the glass. Nice, humble, polite young man.
? My reply was to Boiler Andy about Jimmy Oliver using the glass. You lost me?
Haha sorry it was kind of to the post above about announcers not knowing the players on the team…the announcers on Sunday called Braden, “Brady Smith” 😂
