3) The ball sails over the cylinder, still above the rim. The buzzer sounds and light goes off ending the period. The ball passes through the basket.
Is the basket good?
P.S. Team A down by 1 when the play starts.

I'll walk you through it, for the benefit of DeeCee also:
1) A1's shot or try ended when it sailed to the left i.e. it was certain that the try was unsuccessful. NFHS rule 4-41-4.
2) B1's tap isn't a try because it's
not directed at
his team's basket. Rule 4-41-2.
3) B1's tap was still in the air when the horn sounded. The ball now becomes dead, as per rule 6-7-6. You cannot score a goal if the ball isn't live, as per rule 5-1-1.
Ergo, no basket.
That covers it, rules wise. Same call under NCAA rules.
