I am in my 3rd year. Had this happen last night.
Boys Freshman 3 seconds left. Team behind shooting the tail end of 2 shot free throw. Shooter throws the ball hard at the basket. Ball hits the rim then the backboard and bounces back to the shooter. I am under the basket. The trail calls a violation saying you must attempt to make the shot. I looked and still can't find it in the book. Any thoughts? JWC

Unfortunately, I don't have my rule book with me, but I believe all it states is that the ball must hit the rim. I can't see why this is any different than a player making an 'honest' attempt and then getting his own rebound. If the ball hits the rim, it's live, and A+ for hustle to the first player that gets there--even if it is the shooter. Did your partner penalize late in the game when teams were running 4-corners and 'not attempting' to score?

NCAA Rule 9.1.2a: The free-thrower shall release the try within 10 seconds and in such a way that the ball enters the basket or touches the ring or flange before the free throw ends.
Your free thrower did this. No violation, IMHO.

Your partner blew it.

I'm not even a referee, and that was a stupid call!

If I am coaching, this is one of those calls I would feel pretty compelled to argue! I would also be talking to the league, and I rarely do that. This is a common end of game scenario and refs need to know this rule.

As all the posts above say - your partner doesn't have a clue as to what the rule is. Is this guy a real veteran? If so, that might explain why he is doing freshman games.
Since he is so intuitive as to be able to decide whether a player was really trying to score by the manner in which he releases the ball, I wonder if he would have made the same call (and waived off the point) if the ball had gone in due to some fluke. Try explaining that to a coach!

If I'm on defense I would love that kind of call at the end of a game Mark! We coaches really aren't so unreasonable now!
