Because it's not a violation to wedge the ball between the rim and the backboard. Unless, of course, this happens during a throwin, in which case it would be a violation, and Team B would gain possession at the spot of the original throwin, but then, of course, again, if it was during a throwin, it wouldn't, or couldn't, be a shot. Have I taken a simple play and made it sufficiently confusing, or do I need to make it more confusing?
