Isn't there a rule in football that covers situations like this? A guy breaks away from the pack and there's nobody near him for 30 yards. Then somebody from the bench jumps on the field and tackles him. Can't the officials award the TD in that case? Maybe we should have a rule like that, for the 1-in-a-billion chance that it might happen so we can just award the basket.
Otherwise, in NCAA/Fed, I think the best we can do is to call the contact an intentional personal foul. That way the shooter gets 3 shots plus the ball back. Make it a flagrant intentional personal, so you can toss the offender. Only problem with that, is that the coach won't get an indirect for it.
