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?
|
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.

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.

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. |
Hey Jr, am I still in charge of this discussion board??? Cause if I am, then I absolutely forbid anyone on this board from ever making this call!! Are we clear on that everyone?? It is verboten!!!

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. |
