A player is credited with an assist when he makes, in the opinion of the statistician, a pass contributing directly to a goal.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Assists are the most subjective of stats. The key point on awarding an assist is that it needs to appear as part of the play or be a pass that prompted the shot.
This is the full published philosophy on awarding assists in men's lacrosse: An assist is not necessarily credited to a player who makes a pass before a goal. There should be conscious effort on the part of the passer to find an open player for a shot or to help a player work free for a shot. There should be no particular time frame for an assist (although the pass and shot should appear to be part of the same play) nor should there be any rigid distance factor in the play (the player scoring the goal could take one step, several steps, or even run a number of yards with the ball and still have the passer credited with an assist). An assist should not be credited on a play when the goal scorer dodges a defensive player after receiving the pass before shooting unless, in the opinion of the statistician, it was the pass itself and not the dodge that led directly to the shot.Rate this question:
-
- 25.
An Assist can be credited to more than one player if the passes appear to be, in the opinion of the statistician, part of choreographed scoring play.

True

-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation

-
- 27.
A1 passes the ball to A2 who has a one-on-one with a defender and an untended cage. A2 fakes the defender, shoots and scores. You should credit A1 with an assist.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
False, do not credit an assist on the play because A2 had to fake a defender who was not the goalie.Rate this question:
-
- 28.
Player A1 passes to teammate A2 cutting across in front of the crease. A2 is closely guarded but shoots an over-the-shoulder or behind-the-back shot that scores a goal. You should credit A1 with an assist.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
True because in spite of there being a considerable move to score, the pass accorded A2 with an advantage that he did not previously have and because the shot was an immediate result of a pass with no essential fake to get free.Rate this question:
-
- 29.
Player A1’s pass to teammate A2 is deflected and A3 catches the ball, shoots and scores. You should credit an assist to A1.
-
True
-
False
