Ball Over Backboard

[crosscountry55]

Situation: Closing seconds of 1st quarter, I'm the T in a 2-person crew and have last-second shot primary. Diagonal from me in front of the lead, I see a shot (released in time) arch high and somewhat miraculously it falls. Time expired while the ball was in flight. I was stoked by the play and looked at the table and signaled "count it!"

Then I thought, "hmmmm, let me go to my partner, who didn't have a whistle, and ask him if he thought the shot went over the [rectangular]backboard." I figured he'd say he wasn't sure or that it was marginal, but instead he says, "yes, it definitely went over the backboard." So we erased the basket.

Had it not been the end of the quarter, I probably would have passed on this as the T because I didn't have a good angle to be sure the ball went over. In this situation, do you think the L has a valid secondary whistle if he is 100% sure and the T doesn't take it?

Anyway, in our case, the expiration of time coincided with any violation that would have been whistled. So....do you think we handled it correctly by wiping the basket? I'm curious what folks' opinions are. Thanks.
