watch Egor's eyes. He is looking to see if Fous read it rather than watching the ball to see if it goes through the bucket. Check it out...

Here's how you know that Egor to Fous off the backboard was an intended pass:

KY said he didn't think it was.

KY doesn't know ball.

But also admitted it could have been & wouldn’t put it past him.

And also said they had reviewed this concept that very morning in practice.

The concept was "roll the rebound". Rebound implies a missed shot.

Yea that was his comment & not off the backboard dunk.

KY said he wants "rim runners," and that Fouss dunk would qualify! Love Fouss!

Egor himself said it was. Again, watch the video and watch his eyes.

It obviously was intentional.

No touching

He gave most of the credit to Fous for rolling toward the basket as

Oh, Fous deserves half the credit for sure!

That was immediately after the game. Wait till he sees the film.

Did they officially give him an assist or a missed shot?

Believe so. He went from 4 to 5 without another one otherwise.

I saw that too - quick glance to the right as he starts to drive

Also, that would be an absolutely terrible miss if it weren't.

Lots of “watch the play”. Anyone have a link?

“That looked like it was in purpose”

And it was unlike any shot we've seen him take.

Yeah, if it was a shot, do people believe he missed a layup that bad?

^^This. What seems more probable: That our best passer made another great pass.

I did watch his eyes. I'm still not sure.

I said the same thing. Totally intended.

Official stats show Egor was 8-11 and 2-5 from 3. So it must have been …

Definitely on purpose.

Seems like he would have been more excited if it was on purpose. But I also

10 minutes later, Fouss was in Demin’s ear as they walked up the court

It clearly was because of where he threw the ball off the backboard - bottom
