Believe it or not, I actually hit a shot like that during a lunchtime YMCA game a few years ago. We were on a fast break and a teammate made a bad pass. I grabbed it, was falling out of bounds and had no one to pass to, so I heaved it over the backboard and it went in. I smiled but wasn't going to say anything - unfortunately, a fellow official was waiting for winners and sold me out. Oh well.
