Maybe because your guys defense was so low, that is was close to equal the offense of the lucky fans?

But maybe lucky fans have all skills at atrocious, but some of them might have sublevels, since you said you've seen tons of them making FTs, and everyone knows it's impossible to make a FT at atrocious without sublevels.

Yeah, it does make sense that if fans have FT ability, they would also have passing ability. My initial thought about fans was that they probably had the minimum ability to do everything.

However, after seeing so many games without a fan getting a single assist... and other people i've asked never having seen it either... seemed like they just weren't able to pass for some reason. (odds are i would have seen a few over the years).

Anyway... even though people have voted "yes", no one has linked to a single fan assist yet. So this is still the only one I've ever seen.

This might be off topic, but one funny thing I noticed, despite having cross training, Mr. Romano seems to never have his FT skill crosstrained: (7095293)

Well he's kind of old (33). Was he still getting full weekly training when crosstraining was added?
Another possibility: It takes 1 week of FT training to make a FT. But cross training increases only 10% of full training. Maybe that's not enough? (just brainstorming)

just noticed.... wow... how is that guy on a bot team?? $300k salary bot player!!! how did this happen anyway???

Site isn't lagging quite as bad now. So finally can view it...
Here's the lucky fan assist: (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/52703419/reportmatch.as...)
And here's the box score: (52703419)


If anyone can leave a link to a box score of another game with a fan assist, please do. (no need to find it in the play by play, or link it in the viewer. i'll find it). thanks.

Longest player history page of BB record :D
One thing that's pretty stupid, the guy make .400 3 pointers but can't hit a free throw, that doesn't make any sense..

Maybe 40% 3-pointers is a little extreme, but there are some cases where this happens. I've seen great jump shooters struggle at the line. It's in the mechanics of a set shot with feet staying on the floor. The player then actually takes a jump shot for the free throw and hits a higher % (but feet can't land past the line or it is a lane violation.)

yeah but there's a difference between struggling at the ft line and not hitting a single carreer ft on more than 2500 attempted ! :D
Even shaq had a 0.500 record
I think ft and other type of shots should be somewhat related, in the end you do the same move but without moving your feet

That player just did not want to make any of free throws. It was a protest against team management, as he really wanted to be trained to shoot from the freethrow line. And anyone ever gave him such chance. It is so frustrating. So he just miss all his free throws on purpose ;)
