2 or 3? Here we are again!!

[Richard Ogg]

Remember the fun question about a player who throws the ball toward their basket from the far end -- the ball bounces and then goes through the basket. Is it 2 or 3? We all agreed that it is 2 because the "try" ended when the ball fell below the rim.

Now it may be different!

A rule change now states "Rule 5-2-1 awards three points for any ball thrown, passed or shot from beyond the three-point arc that passes through a teamÂ’s own basket." And what happens if horn sounds here/now/then? Oh boy!

Also, players must now stand during a 30-second timeout. Wonder what the penalty is if one sits (or collapses)? And how are you going to enforce that one?!
