[The Guru]

The way I read this, if the shooter, has position wi the advantage to score...then the pass should be an assist. Or, if the pass allows the shooter to gain the advantage and scores, then it should be an assist. So....if a post player has his opponent on his hip, and gets a pass, then he has "postional advantage", thus even if he does headfake, then it should be an assist. But then, let's say he is being fronted.....gets a lob pass that puts him under the basket, but he still headfakes...still should be an assist, imo.
but what if a cutter goes by a screen and as he breaks open, he recieves a pass and then takes a dribble or 2 and lays it in....again...I give an assist, maybe I am too generous, but what the hey!
