All Forum dues, fees, and fines go to Mark Padgett.

He just sent me a reminder that my $25.00 annual Forum dues must be mailed to him before February 15, 2107. For some reason he will only accept cash, and only unmarked bills. No checks. No credit card.

I'd better get going on this to avoid late fees, like last year. Those stupid late fees will kill you.

With that due date, I would not worry about late fees.

Good call on post duration, my mistake.

"But there is no such language regarding the end of a pass." - I do not think language regarding the end is necessary, based on the definition of a pass: "A pass is movement of the ball caused by a player who throws, bats or rolls the ball to another player." Given the definition, sounds to me as if a pass(good or bad) ends when it touches another player or official or out of bounds.

OP was clearly a pass in my judgement, thus deflection into goal results in awarding two points. Now, there are instances where clearly a thrown(not as a shot) ball goes into the goal and I would award 3 points. Two immediate examples are lobs and someone saving the ball from going OOB. Lobs are passes and many times saves are just wild chucks where the player isn't even facing the basket. No player/coach would argue awarding 3 points in those instances but someone would definitely argue awarding 3 points from the play in the OP.

OK, I am done. Gotta go find $10.

If a try that has no chance to go in has ended, thusly it has no chance to count as three. Ergo a pass that had no chance to go in in the first place, has no chance to be a three.

No chance at all?

A1, from outside the thee point arc throws a cross court pass that hits the hand of defender B1, who is also outside the three point arc. The ball deflects into the basket.

Pass? Yes.

No chance to go in? Yes.

Two points?

Can't we all agree that it's a poorly worded rule, and use intent and purpose if it happens in our game, and move on?

Everybody has given their opinion multiple times.Over and over again. The horse is dead. And you are now killing the cat.
