BktBallRef got it right. The answer lies in the definition of a "try." By definition, a try is a shot attempt at a team's own basket only, not the opposition's basket. Therefore, the shot attempt at the defensive end was not a try, and the foul should have immediately stopped the play... no continuation of the shot attempt like a normal shot/foul situation. If the foul had not occurred, the points would have counted for the defensive team. My partner and I kicked the play (we got three of the four correct, but we counted the points for the defensive team). But so would have all but one (of thirty or so) other officials who we talked to for the next few weeks.

Any other really wierd plays out there?
