Was asked a question by one of our senior officials tonight. With .3 on the clock a throw in is tipped by the defence and the ball goes in the basket. Would you count the basket as it was tipped by the defence and not tapped by the offence? He seemed to think it was not a try so it wouldn't count. I felt it was a live ball that was in play when touched by a player on the court and would count even though the offence didn't tap it for a try. What do you all say.
