Indeed it was, But there were many fouls on A'ja which were not called and why didn't Brittney S not get a foul for her antics.

| Hope Angel isn't injured badly from that roll up - she wasn't even limping well or without assistance getting off the court after the game.

| Kelsey had an amazing game. LV is going to be a force in the next couple of years. Plum is finally coming into her own. McBride is already having a great offensive season, and Wilson will be an MVP. They are young and hungry. They need another couple of pieces and they could make a good run. I'm not sure they will make the playoffs this year, but if they do, they will be scary in a one game playoff.

I didn't like Jefferson much before, but I really dislike her now. You undercut someone like that in your local pickup game and you'd get a richly deserved ass kicking.

| Oh, also, the Aces were the only other team besides Atlanta that had been undefeated when leading after three quarters. Now the Dream are the only one.

The Dreamers have beaten Minny and Las Vegas. I already knew it was gonna be up to us to take them down, but why did the damn League have to schedule us to play them on the 2nd leg of a back to back? They always do this to us every year: schedule the Atlanta Roadrunners to play us on the 2nd leg of a back to back duo.
Well, if we want a week off when the playoffs start we will to suck it up and take down both the Liberty and the Dream on successive nights. Our bench better be ready to roll because they've got a lot of basketball to play in the next two games.

If the game hadn't still been in doubt, I would have been in favor of Collen putting Price or Dietrick in the game long enough give Jefferson a receipt... I'm sure @AFO can appreciate that sentiment, from his playing days.

The rules are liberal on assists. it seems that the offensive player can receive a pass, dribble twice, take the two-step layup and it is still an assist.

Those are all assists, without much argument (not that anyone actually does what you mentioned). There are only nine of them in the video though, so they've left a few out. |

The Courtney Vandersloot mult-game assist recap videos where she set multi-game records for assists was what my comment about 2 dribbles (from a standing start as I remember it) and a two-step layup from 18 feet specifically referred to, not this Plum video. In rewatching, with the two Plum passes where Hamby and Wilson both get the ball at the foul line and score a layup, they were moving when they took the pass. That makes sense to me. But if the player catches standing still and then drives or maneuvers to get off a shot, I wouldn’t make that an assist.

Yeah, I wasn't saying you were wrong on how liberally assists are credited, just that there was nothing in that video where what you described actually happened.
I actually queried the same thing several years ago and was sent the extract below from the rulebook (no idea if it's changed in the years since):
| Quote: |
SECTION VI - ASSISTS
1. An assist is credited to the player tossing the last pass leading directly to a field goal, only if the player scoring the goal responds by demonstrating immediate reaction toward the basket.
[...]
MISCELLANEOUS GUIDELINES
* An assist should not be credited on a play in which the pass does not directly lead to a field goal. If the shooter makes more than one move following receipt of the pass, this should be construed as not being a continuous action after receiving the pass and, therefore, no assist should be given. |
So essentially you could be credited with an assist on a 2ft inbounds pass under your own basket, as long as the player receiving it then charged directly towards the other end and didn't deviate from going right to the hoop. |

Which means horrible rush hour traffic snarls and light attendance at the game tonight. I'm trying to wait for it to die down some before I drive over to the arena cause it's really bad outside. |
Atlanta drivers see one raindrop and start driving like little two year old boys that are afraid of monsters....... |
I wish all drivers did that. Be less accidents.

| By the way, did anyone ever figure out the what/why of the LV Bench technical? Bob and LaChina said it was Asst. GM/Strength Coach Laura Ramus who did it. But did nobody else see that she was leaving the bench to head to the referee? It was still a close game at that time too. Not saying THAT turned the tide, but it didn't help.

I just saw it on the replay. It was a well deserved tech. Ghod knows what she was thinking.

After watching multiple times my only assumption would be that maybe if you rewind about 10 seconds earlier you see E. Will getting subbed back in while ATL got the defensive rebound and as shes running to the scorers table she actually runs on the floor as if she could have been a 6th player on the floor for ATL. It was literally for maybe 2 seconds and she ran back off possibly to get around Coach collen. Thats my assumption though she was trying to explain herself to Bill on the bench but the cam kept turning to where i couldn't read her lips. But boooy did she look embarassed .

. Gotta watch this replay to believe the stats!
And further, if it were up to me, I'd be giving assists to some of those crushing screens at the top of the key which result in a wide open shot.
