What is the difference beween a fast break and slow break offensive style?
A fast break in Basketball is the ability of a player or team, once they have the rebound or a steal, to move swiftly down the court and score. This is generally done when, lets say Johkim Noah, gets a rebound and sees Derrick Rose open down court and no one is in front of him, he passes Rose the ball and Rose scores, that is an example of a fast break.
A slow break, on the otherhand, is the exact oposite. It is a player or team, taking their time to get the ball down court and score.

How do you find Points per game in basketball?
First, take the points scored in the amount of games played. Take the total number of points scored and divide it by the number of games played. Ex. Joe scored 14 points in 3 games. 14 divided by 3 equals 4 and 2/3.
that makes absolutely no sense.
Walt 'Clyde' Frazier just pointed out during today's Knicks game (1/13/13) that the player tipping the ball out (e.g. Tyson Chandler) gets credit for the rebound and not the perimeter player who receives the tip (e.g. Jason Kidd).
Frazier disagrees with the scoring and thinks it should be the perimeter player who receives the credit. I think Mike Breen disagrees, as would I.
