Just watch an excellent game tonite between Tenn & Unc on ESPN2. Unc was down 3 points with less than 3 seconds remaining and a Unc player was fooled in the act of shooting a unsuccessful 3-point attempt, she made the first of 3 and missed the second, now she made attempt to miss which in this case the ball hit the backboard only. The official called a violation but not because she stepped on or over the line. As a high school official i was just told recently in class that in this case the ball is live and we play on, is this not the case in college hoops. i called some fellow officals on this matter and got different answers, somebody stop the bleeding i didn't think this was a big issue but would hate not to call it right if it was me.
