score is A 66 B 64. 8 seconds left in the game. B is at the line shooting 2. misses the first. we all know what happens next. B takes the ball in a chest pass motion to hitt the rim for a long rebound. any ref out there call a violation on the shooter for not shooting the ball at the basket in a normal shooting motion like the first shot?

Normal? Do we referee the shooters style? He hit the rim did he not?

scat03 Thu Nov 18, 2004 04:13pm

he clearly had no intention of making a basket , only to hit the rim for the situation. it must be a shot.

Have a good time trying to explain that to the coach. Not only are you an official but now you are a shooting instructor and your player is using bad form.

Please don't even think about that. There is absolutely no rule support for a violation for this action. None. Do not even think about a violation for this. Ever. Ok? Please. Really. Don't. Promise? Please?

Taking the rules literally, this would be a violation. However, like so many other rules, it's not called literally. In practice, hitting the rim is sufficient.

what rule would you take literally to mean that this would be a violation....not only would I never call this a violation, I don't see anything that even remotely supports it...

Camron may be referring to the strict definition of a "try" in R4-40-2- "A try for field goal is an attempt by a player to score one or two points by <b>throwing</b> the ball into a team's own basket. A player is trying for goal when the player has the ball and <b>in the official's judgement</b> is <b>throwing</b> or attempting to <b>throw</b> for goal". R9-1-3 says the FT shooter has to "throw" within 10 seconds and cause the ball to enter the basket or touch the ring before the FT ends. By the strictest definition, you could probably say that throwing the ball against the ring to try and get a rebound doesn't meet the definition of a "try" in that you are not attempting to score, and therefore you violated R9-1-3. It is a helluva reach but.......

I don't think that even the most anal official around would ever actually use that logic though. Hopefully.

I'm just guessing. Naturally, Camron may have different thoughts.

You're still in charge, O Mighty One. The armbands aren't in yet, so I can't send them out yet.

You're right. Anybody that would ever actually make that call would have a great future behind them.

PS-did I do good in making Windy disappear? He's over on the General Forum jousting with Rut. That thread may end up beating the baseball thread for longevity. Better there than here! :D

9-1-3 He/she shall throw within 10 seconds, and in such a way that the ball enters the basket or <B>touches the ring before the free throw ends.</B>

4-40-3 The free throw ends when ..when it is certain the try will not be successful....

If taken literally, the FT <em>could</em> end and be a violation if the referee could tell it wasn't going to be sucessful prior to it hitting the rim.

However, as I said earier, this is not how it is applied. Hits the rim = legal FT attempt.

Oh my, JR...those two need a serious time-out. Talk about a major pi$$ing match! "Look, mine went farther than yours!" "Oh yeah? Well I did it with no facial hair, so there!"

You probably didn't get to see the posts that Mick has had to make go "bye-bye" already either. The lads are keeping poor ol' Mick a-hopping today.
