Basketball stats/scoring questions

I just read the link to the 2007 stats manual posted earlier in this thread. I'm wrong about blocked shots not leading to rebounds. I am correct, however, about not having to be the one to corral a loose ball to be credited with a steal. If I knock the ball to my teammate, I get the steal.

MC Sports Guy,

From the NCAA guide (page 24):

A.R. 6. Adams is shooting a free throw on a one-shot foul. Allen commits a lane violation and Team B is awarded the ball for a throw-in.

RULING: Charge Allen with a turnover. Do not charge Adams with a FTA.

Right, that's what I said. Was this supposed to be directed at me?

I didn't see the turnover part the first I posted. My humble apologies.

Someone said earlier that every missed shot has to have a rebound, but what if the missed shot is at the buzzer?

If the shot was not in desperation and not from within normal shooting distance (within 6 or so feet of the 3-point line is what I use unless one player has outstanding range), then dead-ball rebound. Since dead-ball rebounds don't factor into total averages, I don't think it matter which team you give the board too (I'd assume defensive team).

If the shot was definitely out of normal shooting range and was seen as a desperation shot, it does NOT count as an attempt according to the NCAA scoring PDF.

Where might one find said NCAA scoring PDF?
