Thanks Statman! I don't win to many discussions, especially at HOME!!!

Excellent discussion and maniac is the winner in my mind...no shot attempt = no blocked shot.

No love for my answer?

Absolutely. If you could get credit you would have this in the stats if the first shot attempt of the game was a foul and a block:

 

FG 0/0

Blocks: 1

 

Doesn't look right, correct?

I agree, no shot. If you give credit for a blocked shot you have to give someone a missed shot.

I agree that the block doesn't count, but it should since the basket would have counted if it had gone in. I also believe that an assist should be awarded for a pass where the player is fouled. Maybe 1 assist for both free throws made and 1/2for 1 made, and of course no assist if he misses both free throws. Maybe thats to complicated, but it makes sense to me.
