sitch "two points down, last second layup by A1, B1 jumps up to block the shot, misses the ball and hits the board, causing the board to sway back on forth, therefore causing the ball to bounce of the rim and roll of the rim, Team B wins" NO CALL...GAME OVER wow, would hate to have to let that go!!! better have some good security, legally i guess there is nothing to call, but we should be able to do something...

As per the rules, that is a legal play. If, in the official's opinion, it is a legitimate attemp to block the shot, there is
never a "T" involved. Whether you agree with it or not doesn't make it illegal. The purpose and intent of the rule isn't to penalize a legal, attempted defensive play.
