The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A1 attempts a jump shot at the wrong basket. The ball passes through the basket.
Handle the situation.
The officials should stop play and make it clear to all that Team B receives two points for a live ball passing through their basket. It does not matter whether the attempt was from inside or outside the three-point arc since three-point goals can only be scored at one’s own basket. Team A will be awarded the ball for a throw-in on the end line near Team B’s basket. Team A may move along the end line as after any score.
