When is an assist an assist?

I wish I could find my source to quote, but in the NBA if you pass to a player who "makes an immediate reaction to the basket" and scores, it's an assist. IIRR it was an answer posted to a question about whether taking a dribble stopped a player getting an assist -you can still get an assist if the player takes a dribble, but only if it is part of the "immediate reaction".

I've also seen an explanation of a player in the NBA getting a defensive rebound and throwing a pass 10 feet to a quick guard, who happened to have a clear path to the basket, and who took off up-court and made an uncontested lay-up. The rebounder got credited with an assist - again, it was an "immediate reaction" to the basket, even though the play started in the player's own half.

Advertiser say Schensch with 2, Hill, Holmes, Maher, Ballinger and Hodge all with 1 each.
Total = 7.

It was such a messy game at times last night that Luke did do a few blocks, but they weren't recorded as such

From my understanding;
1. Score must be made immediately (ie FG, not FT)
2. The next action the shooter does once the pass is received is shoot or layup.
