Re: How viable is full court Assisting?

In this scenario each cycle would be worth: 10 truss points, 10 catch points (in the unlikely case that the ball is caught), 10 assist points, and 10 goal points for a total of 40 points.

I feel like this strategy would be a more efficient way of moving the ball down the field and into the goal than a more traditional approach.

What does the CD community think about this?
There is almost absolutely no point in my opinion. If you can score 20 assisting, why not aim for 40?
