I want to bring this up again for clarification. If you have references and case plays to support your position, that would be helpful.

Here's the scenario.

A1 rebounds the ball at B's basket. He's confused (Hey it could happen, he's a teenager!) and puts up a shot at the wrong goal.

Situation A: A2 Goal Tends. Is this actual goal tending? This was not a legitimate attempt since the shot was at the wrong goal, correct?

Situation B: B2 Goal Tends. Same question. Is this goal tending?

In situation A and B, is the ball live and we just play on? No points are awarded, correct?

Situation C: A2 commits Basket Interference. Do we credit two points to B? This is offensive BI but at the wrong basket.

Situation D: B2 commits Basket Interference. Do we credit two points to B? Surely not! This is defensive BI but its at the wrong goal. Do we credit two points to A? If so, why? If there had been no BI and the ball went in, we would credit two points to team B.

Thanks!

Not possible. There's your first mistake. Gotta know the definition of "try".

Gotta know the definition of "goaltending". (Hint: it includes the word "try".)

Same answer :)


Correct.


Yes. [Sorry for the confusion of my original -- and incorrect -- answer :( ]


No, it isn't.


No points, and don't call me Shirley.


Surely not! :)


No.


Correct.

YES! It doesn't matter how the ball got there (over B's basket) or who put it there. If team A commits BI at B's basket, team B gets 2 points (or 3 if on a 3-point try by B).

I have to disagree with Chuck. In C and D, we have BI. As Camron said, it makes no difference how the ball got there, once it's in the imaginary cylinder, BI rules apply. It's the same principle that allows you to have BI on a throw-in.

Yep, Chuck missed the call in C, so if there was a whistle on the play it is now a correctable error situation. :)

rwest, you want to take over from here?

Chuck, you need to learn to read! :) I said shot. No where did I say "try"! :)

Seriously, that's why I asked the questions. There is no Goal Tending if a shot is made at the wrong basket. That's what I was trying to get clear!

LOL! No! :)

I think FED uses the phrase "throws the ball at the wrong basket."

In general, "shot" = "try"

Poop. Don't know what I was looking at there. Camron's right obviously. I'm gonna go back and edit the post. I was hung up on the question of it being "offensive" BI.
