Girls 8th Grade Playoff game. Player attempts second FT, ball hits rim, bounces straight up, high over rim, grazes overhead guy wire (used for raising the basket to ceiling when not in use), and goes in. I believe this is OOB by rule, but as the ball just barely grazed the wire (did not appear to alter flight of ball), and the wire was drooping down from its normal position, the ref allowed the point ( I asked him after the game, he remembered the play, and mentioned that the ball just barely touched the wire, and the wire shouldn't have been there).
Would any of you have done the same? Would the level of the game make a difference? Just curious. It would seem like a petty call in relation to how other calls are made, but OOB is OOB. Of course, the game ended in a one-point win for the team that made the FT, or no one would have even remembered the FT. |

By rule - the only time you would ignore hitting the wire would be if the point allows you to avoid an overtime.
Whose rule is that? My rule.

d. The ceiling, overhead equipment or supports. I would deem the wire overhead equipment and therefore OOB.

I agree OOB. Next question. OOB off the shooter? Or AP?
I don't know. But would rule OOB on the shooter. Is that correct?
