The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A-5 grabs a rebound and attempts to pass the ball to A-1 running down the floor. A-5’s pass is too long. It hits the floor, bounces up off the backboard and passes through the basket while the clock is running.
Handle the situation.
This is a two-point goal. Once the ball hit the floor, it was no longer a thrown ball that could result in a three-point goal.

Very Interesting Play. Correct, and surely a weird Play. Thanks!
I had a question similar to this question, a few years ago before I became an official. Only difference, after the ball hit the floor, the horn sounded to end the quarter, just before the ball entered the basket. …….”No two-point goal is awarded.”
