You can't score the basket
As much as it seems the "right" thing to do, scoring the basket is not one of the legal options, either in NF or NCAA.
NF. 5-2-4 ....The only infractions for which points are AWARDED are goaltending by the defense or basket interference at the opponent's basket.
NCAA. 5-1-7... (reads identical to the NF rule).
Since this rule is in the book, I don't think you can use the elasticity clause to score the points. Maybe you can find a way to make sure enough free throws are taken, but the key is that the points must be earned, not given.
