This situation, call, and subsequent action has caused a good bit of discussion in our association. Before I get into it I have to say that I was not there but I worked with one of the refs (the R in the game) a few nights later and I also work in the same office as our interpreter so I have heard the situation from two good sources.
As I understand it Boys game, A1 goes up for a jump shot and while still in the air is hit on the arm hard enough to dislodge the ball from his hand. Play takes place in Cs area and he has a good view of it. C blows his whistle on the hit, fist goes up and the other arm goes up to signal two shots. A1 is still in the air and before he lands regains control of the ball, shoots and makes the basket. The 3 refs and the closest coach all agree that this is the situation. The furthest coach only disagreement was that he thought the signal was a jump ball. So the facts of the situation are not disputed.
The decision - Refs conference and award 2 points to A and give the ball to B who can run the baseline.
Any thoughts?

If I were making the call count the basket and award a free throw for a possible three point play. What was the logic for awarding the basket and giving it to B? Was there a foul on the play or did they go with an inadvertent whistle?
Perhaps I'm missing something here.
