Pass leading to someone going to the line should be an assist (regardless of free throw made or not).

What if the opposing team is intentionally fouling to send someone to the line? It gets murky in that situation.

It works the same way as regular assist rule - you only get the credit when the scorer picks up the ball only once (i.e. if he dribbles more than once, it's not assisted).
If someone intentionally fouls someone to stop the clock at half court, there is no assist.
If someone intentionally fouls someone driving to the lane for a layup, that should be an assist because without the foul, there would have been a basketball.

I know how it would work. What I'm contesting is the merit of giving out assists in such situations. Is it really deserving of an assist if the other team is intentionally fouling?
