I was watching a game this past week that I saw the officiating crew mishandle a situation. What do you think?
Team A following a throw in at mid court attacked the wrong basket. One shot was taken and Team A got the rebound. when he went back up for the put back, he was fouled and the shot went in Team B's basket. As the ref reported the foul the table told him they shot at the wrong basket. The 3 refs conferred and did the following: Gave Team B the 2 points, then went to team A's basket and let him shoot his one foul shot. Neighter coach complained. My thought is that once the whistle sounded on the foul the ball became dead and no points should have been awarded and no foul shot taken, and then Team A should have gotten the ball out of bounds. My reasoning is that you can't have a shooting foul or "in the act" foul while shooting at the wrong goal. Question one: Am I not right?
Question two: Same scenario but as Team A-1 shoots at the wrong goal, a team member realizes what he is doing and as the ball comes off the backboard he goes above the rim and smacks the ball away. Can you have goaltending at the wrong basket?
