[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched the Matt @ WI scout tape last night. The Matt. coach is cooking the books
The last goal scored in the game was caught on 4 steps taken then a roll dodge on defender taking three steps to a shot. This is from US Lacrosse.
3. assist: An assist is a play made by a player to her teammate who then scores a goal without having to evade excessive defensive pressure other than the goalkeeper. Only one assist per goal may be recorded.
3. assist: An assist is a play made by a player to her teammate who then scores a goal without having to evade excessive defensive pressure other than the goalkeeper. Only one assist per goal may be recorded. The guideline to award an assist includes two parts: there must be a pass made to the recipient; and the recipient must take a shot. If the passer (potential assister) is able to move the ball to a teammate (recipient), who has maneuvered for a good or more advantageous position to take a shot, then the passer can be awarded with an assist. If the shooter, after receiving the ball from her teammate (passer/potential assister) must outrun or maneuver around any excessive defensive pressure before shooting, no assist can be awarded. It is not necessary for the shooter to possess the ball for a specific length of time, nor must the shooter limit the number of steps taken after she receives the ball for a shot. The only deciding factor, after the recipient receives a pass from her teammate, is the amount of pressure the recipient (shooter) had to evade to put her into a position for the shot, if any.
So there is the full definition of an assist. A few things are obvious from your post. To start reading comprehension is not one of your strengths. The fact that your main argument is how many steps a player has taken when in the definition it actually states that number of steps taken is not relevant shows you are really slow. The fact that you made up the number of steps taken when it is not relevant tells me you are desperate.If you think the shooter was under excessive pressure ( defined as more than normal) it just shows again you are just not very educated. The fact that you feel the team should have gotten 6 not 7 assists shows that there is something deeper going on than an assist and that you must be a bitter jealous person. In the end the definition of an assist does leave some gray area, my opinion on this one is that an assist should have been recorded. I can tell you when my daughter played in college their book keeper was very lenient with both the home team and away teams while other schools not so much. My main concern is not so much with your ignorance but more in general with people like yourself who hide behind a computer .Your wife and kids know you are a flaccid little man who would never do the right thing and approach people in person when you think something wrong is happening .You obviously know who these coaches are you should approach them and speak your mind.We all know that will never happen.
Sorry - More than 4 steps is no assist - its just a pass.
Why 4 steps, because that gives you a more advantageous position
Wow , this could be the most uneducated response I have ever seen . The US lacrosse definition of an assist is posted for you and you clearly have such a lack of education to even be able to comprehend it . I have not seen the goal/assist in person but the number of steps has nothing to do with it . If a goalie clears the ball to a teammate who is at the far restraining line , that player takes let’s say 20 steps and was never under excessive defensive pressure and scores it’s the definition of an assist from the goalie ..Your response is the text book response from someone who has such a low level of education that they are unable to understand basic concepts, sad . Or maybe you are just stirring the pot making me the fool for believing there is that level of idiocy out there. Either way let’s move in from the assist no assist discussion .
Thou doth protest too much - guilty conscience?
I have been a score keeper for some time and find it amazing that people do at times complain but dont take the time to educate themselves prior to complaining ,same thing happens in bball. I also take issue when anonymous posters come onto these sites to bash coaches, programs and worst of all players . Its small minded and petty and seems to me that the bashers would not do so if it was done to their kids but most likely their kids have never been good enough to have some creepy adults go after them. My conscience is fine because I try to do things the right way not be some anonymous coward. That said this is the last i will address this issue as you seem unhealthily obsessed ,yet I suspect you will still be too much of a coward to actually speak up in person.
