They have a rule in place for when a jump ball ends by definition that involves hitting the backboard and the rim. That was a not a change in the rule from when they did jump balls at FT lane area. I would think that if this was possible, the rule would be clarified with previous rules or new interpretations, followed by new rules. I have no idea if what I am saying would be right as it is not ever happened to my knowledge and no such issue has been raised realistically. We are speculating on what really would be the interpretation and yes that would matter like other things do somethings in the rules. But I would not think in the effort of fairness that the rules committees would keep awarding a 3 point shot for a dunk attempt without some clarification. Nothing to be upset about, we are strictly talking about a very big leap in how the game is actually played now.
