In response to palestra38

That's my point. Penn's assist rate is lower this year, because what your counting stats don't consider is that there are more made buckets (opportunities) to get an assist where Penn failed to record one. An assist rate is the percentage of made baskets with an assist. The number of made baskets is irrelevant for rate statistics.

The number of opportunities (made baskets) is very relevant for comparing counting stats, though. Which is what you need to control for in your analysis of those counting stats.
