If that is the philosophy behind how the CE rules are written then someone needs to go back to the drawing board and come up with some intelligent reasoning. |
Actually, in most cases, it is the OFFICIAL SCORER who has either made a mistake or has not tallied everything in time NOT the officials. We discussed CEs awhile back. I agree with your line of thinking about the logic of it all. The situation in which TEAM A (the home team) gets fouled by Team B with the OFFICIAL SCORER (Team A scorer) indicating that it is a non-shooting foul situation. Team A then inbounds the ball, DRAINS a THREE. As soon as the ball goes through the hoop, the TEAM A TIMER sounds the horn to indicate that actually the foul was Team B's 7th hence a 1+1 should have been awarded. A1 makes both ends of the 1+1 for a five point play.
The fact that the CE rules do not wipe out the need for FTs when the team SCORED as a direct result of the awarded inbounds is beyond my comprehension.
