A2 then jumps up, grabs the rebound and starts to shoot the ball again at the wrong basket.
B1, thinking A2 is about to score, jumps up to block the shot and fouls A2 after the ball leaves A2 hands but before the horn goes off to end the game. Then the ball goes through the basket after the horn.
Yes, all of this happened within the last 5 seconds of the game. Both coaches, all players and all fans are screaming excitedly.
What do you call?
You have just a few seconds to get your crew together and decide. No rule books on the floor.
I'll post the crews correct decision next Monday!  |
Several of the replies to this thread indicate that the second shot was "not a legitimate shot attempt." Will someone take a few moments to explain to me why the shot attempt is not legitimate. It seems to me, based on the OP "A2 then jumps up, grabs the rebound and starts to shoot the ball again..." that A2 was trying to make a basket (albeit in the wrong hoop). So I don't understand why the shot attempt was not legitimate.
Thanks for the help.
