NFHS 5-2:
"Three points are awarded for any ball thrown, passed or shot beyond the 19 foot 9 inch line that passes through the goal. Any other goal from the field counts 2 points for the team into whose basket the ball is thrown."

If the buzzer went off before the bounce:
the ball would become dead as soon as it hit the ground.
If the buzzer went off after the bounce:
The basket would count.
NFHS 6-7-5:
"The ball becomes dead when time expires except while a try for a field goal or a tapped ball by a player toward their basket is in flight."
"Flight" ends when the ball hits the ground.

That's my interpretation. So what did you tell the kid?

Heh - I stammered through some mumbling, and then admitted I wasn't sure - I train the officials for our intramural program, and have been a basketball official for almost 5 years. I told him i'd post it in a forum where I can generally get honest correct answers (with little to no heckling -
) - and then did so. Thanks!
