Scores in Wrong Basket
Girl gets confused and shoots and scores in the other team's basket. Points obviously go to the team into whose basket the ball went, but after the ball goes in, do you blow the whistle and award the ball to the the team of the confused girl? Or no whistle, let them figure out what happened and play on?
When this happened last weekened, I blew the whistle because after it happened there was a lot of confusion. Told the scorer to count the basket for the correct team and then in-bounded to the confused girl's team while getting everyone re-oriented. Thinking about it later, I'm not sure I should have blown the whistle since there was no violation or foul. Whistle or no whistle? |
If there's significant confusion (for instance, the wrong team tries to inbound the ball), then the whistle is fine. Get it straightened out. If it seems that they have it figured out already, then no need for the whistle. Sounds like you handled it fine.

blow the whistle, show two points, then depending on wheter or not the score keeper know the rules, check that he's entering the opponents captain as scorer, then administer the ball at the baseline as usuall.
Exception (in fiba anyway): all scores in the own basket made ON PURPOSE is called as violations and are not to be given any points for. |

I dont think anyone is awarded credit for the goal. Clear up the confusion, get everyone going in the right way and play on. See rule 5-2-1 I believe.

Guys, Voyager (may I call you V'ger?) uses FIBA rules. I'd be willing to bet that this is one of those differences between FED/NCAA and FIBA.

The points are awarded to the team who's basket they were scored in. The shooter is not credited with the points but a footnote is made refrencing that info.

What's this?
A post with a FIBA ruling and no BBR to tell us that it's FEEBLE? :rolleyes: |
Oops, sorry I have never looked at an FIBA rulebook and I didn't pick up on that in the thread.

On the topic of a basket scored in the wrong basket...what is the procedure for this happening at the beginning of the game, i.e. right after the tip?
I think it is a correctable error but who gets the points, who gets the ball afterwards? |

Legal goal. Two points to the other team. End-line throw-in to the team that scored in the wrong basket. |
I'm no scorekeeper but I thought this is a foot note?
Anyhow when this has happened to me, I kill it. Score the basket, let the teams know which way they're going, and give it to the SAME team for a throw-in. Don't let the other team throw the ball in - I can see that mistake coming. |
I understand the player NEAREST to the inaccurate shooter get the points. |
