Hi My name is Alen, i have been reading this board for over half a year now but never particiapted. So I Thought it is time to start now.

I had a game last nite with younger kids. It was beginning of 2nd half and i handed the ball to the inbounder of Team A who threw the ball in play. His teammate must have been sleeping because he went to his backcourt and shot the ball onto his own basket. He missed and team B got the rebound.

But instead of throwing the ball in that basket they went into Their backcourt and threw the ball into their own basket.

We gave the 2 points to team A who should be scoring into that basket and made the players go in the proper directions.

How would you gus have handled this?

The basket should have been credited to the team that shot the ball. Once you discover the mistake, turn them around in the right direction. Everything else counts as if they had been going in the correct direction.
