Not to rain on the NF and their intellectual glory, but I interpret any shot taken within the legal boundary of the court, counts. I am not a geometry whiz by any standard, but if A1 is inside the side or baseline, itÂ’s good(with exceptions, of course). Now, I would disallow someone who is falling out of bounds (baseline) and heaves one over; and I would disallow some contortionist who may be able to stay inbounds under the basket and manages to get one over backboard. But in the play originally described, you let him have it, great play and move on. That is, unless you really don't like the school and you do not want to be asked back.
