Thank you everyone. I've been working it over in my head since leaving the office and I concur with your explanations.
I did think of one other thing (which is extremely silly, but it could happen, and I'd be suprised if there hasn't ever been a case written about it): Gym or arena with high ceiling - A is ahead by one or two points - A1, in a celebratory display, heaves the ball up into the air after receiving the inbounds pass in A's backcourt - ball is released prior to horn sounding, and subsequently goes through B's basket. No points awarded, I suppose. But I wouldn't want to have to explain it to B's head coach, who would've undoubtedly seen it.
Anyone ever seen or read of anything like that?
Thank you again to everyone for your responses.
Respectfully submitted,
