There's always something.

That's a good explanation, Mick, but it doesn't always hold true.
Play: Shot in the air, shot clock horn sounds, official blows whistle. Shot: (a) is good; (b) hits the rim and bounces off; (c) misses everything.
Ruling: (a) Count the basket, award the ball to B to run the end-line. (b) Go to the arrow. (c) Go to the arrow.
Huh? Who can explain C? Using Mick's logic (with which I agree) we'd give the ball to B becuase that's who'd have the ball had there been no inadvertant whistle.
So, to answer JLK, all I can say is "because that's the way 'they' want it."

Thanks, bob.
Good call.
YU.P., I see now, it is an alternating-possession situation:
6-3-1 g. An inadvertant whistle occurs and there is no player control.
I guess NCAA has your (b) and (c) are consistent.
