Re: Ball off the top

Did anyone see the NBA game about a week ago when the last shot to win bounced twice on the top of the backboard and then fell in the hole? For the life of me I can't remeber who even played the game. I just remeber getting home from a game and flipping the sports on just in time to catch the play and the sports caster saying "and it does count I checked the rules."
The announcer was lying. Rule books are to TV announcers like garlic is to vampires (although garlic generally tastes better to the rest of us.)

I think what makes this harder in NBA/College is that the ball is OOB when it touches the shot clock - usually mounted right above the backboard.
