Yes, if the teammate had made it to the fc, then this was illegal. It happened too fast for me to tell on TV. Never saw a replay.

I know the NW coach complained and suggested there was a violation, but it was not for coming across the line too early. If anything it might have been for not hitting the rim, but that is not something we can prove based on the broadcast view.

This play covers a few aspects that we have discussed. Intentional miss, line-drive try, crossing the line when the ball strikes the backboard, ball contacting the ring later. Thought that it would be good for an instructional clip.
