I don't know about any inflated numbers for rebounds & assists. If Smith drives in the lane & drops it off to Epenesa & he does take a dribble that counts as an assist. If Smith goes up & grabs the ball off a missed shot that counts as a rebound... If Smith shoots & misses & gets his own rebound that counts as a rebound... I'm so tired of hearing about Edwardsville inflating Smiths assists numbers... Go to a game & watch him pass the ball unselfishly to his teammates...
I dont know anything about Edwardsville but its probably accueate. Mosr HS assists and rebounds stats are inflated. Points should be spot on but i would never trust any school saying their rebounds and assists stats.
