In basketball can you get an assist by throwing an ally-oop pass from out of bounds?

Question

If the same pass would earn you an assist on the court, would you earn the same stat from a pass originating from an inbounds pass?

Answer 1

yes ofcourse.

Answer 2

Yes you can. If you want an example to verify, look at the play by play from the Spurs/Magic game where Dwight got an alley-oop from out of bounds to end the game:

0:00 Orlando 20 Sec. timeout
0:00 104-106 Dwight Howard makes two point shot (Hedo Turkoglu assists)

^^ Turkoglu got the assist and he was the one making the pass from out of bounds.

Answer 3

Yes, an assist in basketball is the pass that led directly to a basket.

So an alley oop pass ia an assist regardless if it came from out of bounds.

Answer 4

Yes, absolutely you can, and the Howard alley-oop example is perfect to illustrate that point.

However, if the pass accidentally goes in the hoop by itself on the pass from out of bounds, it does not count as a basket.

Answer 5

Yes. As long as the player you pass to scores, you get the assist.

Answer 6

Yes. As long as it leads to a score by a field goal. Meaning that the player was "assisting" in the basket
