Alley Oop (The Beach Boys, 1965) …

For young'uns born after the introduction of the three point line (NFHS 1987-1988), initially, in order to count three points, the officials had to be 100% sure that it was an actual try.

Initially, an alley oop pass from behind the three point line to a teammate that "accidentally" and directly went in the basket was only counted as two points.

The rule changed to the present rule after only a few years.

Once Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. rehabilitates his new "Six Million Dollar Man" knee, he can climb up to his attic library and tell us when the change occurred.
