Can't hear the horn go off, but you hear the crowd counting down 3... 2... 1... In the comments it says something about the clock operator stopping the clock after the shot, but if the crowd is correct in their count, the buzzer should have sounded long before that.
Problem #1 — Definitely not a 3-pointer. Can't be. The try ends when the ball hits the floor. A 3-point basket has to be the result of a try.
Problem #2 (Potentially) — After the ball hitting the floor, if the buzzer sounded it would end the quarter right there, so nothing could be scored once the ball hits the floor. The ball would have to go through the basket before the horn sounded in order to be counted — and then could only be counted as a 2-point basket.
These are the types of plays that completely burn the I-know-it-when-I-see-it officials that don't know the rules well. This play comes up and they are not sure what to do, so they basically go with their gut or whatever they think is "common sense" and oftentimes are completely wrong.
Anything else?
