Shooter fouled while shooting over backboard

Kinda like a player getting fouled shooting at the wrong basket?

Just wondering.

A "shot" at the wrong basket is, by definition, not a try. This is one of those situations that I've never seen, but it would be fascinating. A1 gets confused and starts to shoot a layup at B's basket. He is fouled by B1. After the foul the ball goes through the basket. Guess what? Wave it off, and if you're in the bonus go to the other end and shoot 1 and 1. I'm thinking this would be hard for the crowd/opposing coach to swallow.
