When Ulis bounced the ball off the backboard yesterday for Lee dunk, is that scored an assist for Ulis or an offensive rebound for Lee?

Don't know what the official scorer guidelines say but I'd score it as an assist since Tyler Ulis was clearly making a pass.

If you gave Lee an offensive rebound then presumably you'd need to give Ulis a missed FG attempt as well, which would be unfair to him.
 
I would like to know what Cal said about it after the game. You know he was watching. I would like to think he told Ulis it was as awesome as us fans thought it was. Haha

Hopefully someone will ask him because there are a lot of us that think it doesnt happen with Cal there. Cal seems to adjust quickly. If in fact Tyler ran the show more open on the offensive end and we saw what that got us...I think Cal might just learn from it and let him continue.

Kenny Paine in the post game did say he made some "suggestions" to Ty. It just seemed like with Kenny on the bench there smiling it made them all a lot more loose. Cal's screaming at them all the time might get old.
 
Do anyone else think the moment after this really great play, a foul should have been called on #24 for throwing his arm outward trying to hit Lee in the head?
Or is it that I am seeing this with my blue tinted glasses on?

I have watched this over and over and #24's arm was swung out with a purpose of hitting Lee.

-Yep. What he did was much worse than when the other guy got teed up for knocking the ball out of whoever it was hands.
 
Couple guesses.

It's up to the discretion of the score keeper, unless it hit the rim. Then he has to mark it as a shot attempt and rebound.

I think we did this play last year as well, so I don't get where everyone says Cals presence would have prevented it. Didn't wall throw it to himself once.
