Always A First Time ...

Over forty years. Never had this.

Small-ish middle school gym. Seconds left in second quarter. Player launches a high altitude missile from deep in his backcourt as a last second desperation try. I'm trail. Ball goes about as high as I've ever seen a ball go. Ball passes over the steel beam holding up the roof between the triangular steel braces. Ball touches nothing, buzzer sounds, ball clangs off of rim.

It didn't hit the ceiling, so it's not out of bounds. Based on the distance it was launched, it would be a good 3-point field goal.
