Interesting that someone finally brought up Teddy and Bobby...the reason that Teddy and Bobby had their problem a few years back was that Teddy called the play correctly, but Bobby wanted someone to give him the basket since the rim got moved around and the ball popped out...situations like that happen because some officials decide to call things that "just make sense" but don't fit the rules, then the next time it happens and the refs call it correctly, the coaches go nuts...there is no BI on this original play - no matter how much the basket is moving, and no matter how much simpler it would be to call it that way...we have two choices: 1)Play on...2)Call the T for intentional contact with the backboard...as Chuch already said - it really is that simple!
