irregardless adv : regardless; a combination of irrespective and regardless sometimes used humorously Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so. So, irregardless just ain't right. Oh, yea, back to the topic. I always used to "sell" the made basket, you know, come out strong and really slam home that basket; it's one of those plays that the crowd loves, the "and-one". But as I've done more NCAA-W, I've come to appreciate their mentality and mechanic of just counting the basket. It either went in, or it didn't. That's helped me in my overall game as well - I try to not call every play as if it's life or death anymore. Yep, that's a travel. Yep, that's a foul. Yep, the basket went in. Also, if you are wide enough on the play, you should be able to see the ball go in along with keeping any eye on the players. If I'm at an angle where I need to stay with the play and players, I will keep my fist in the air and make eye contact with my partner(s) to ask for help on the basket. If they give me an affirmative, then I'll count it as soon as I know.

The one point that I see missing in this discussion: you do sell the call sometimes when you count the basket, you sell the fact that you are giving continuation, when play is close, you want everyone to know right away that you are sure he was in the act of shooting and you are counting the basket, it looks bad if you wait until you get to the table and then count the basket, like it was an afterthought and you are just guessing

There is this one league, that many people claim they don't watch because its not basketball
, where the officials point at the hoop to indicate the player was in the act.irregardless  , communication is the key.

When I first started in the late '80s, the (CCA, I think) mechanic was to not "sweep" it or count it at the point as the lead. The reason was that the trail may have basket interference or goaltending. So, when you were going to report the foul, the trial would move to your position and say, "the basket went in." That then would give you, the lead, the option of counting it at that point if you had it as a shooting foul.
About 2 or 3 years later, they changed it. I'm not sure whether the change was due to the infrequency of BI/GT calls or they wanted the trail to keep focused on the players -- or both. I don't know whether selling the call was part of the change. Sounds reasonable, but in any event, you, as the trail, need to be prepared to tell your partner that the basket went in in case he didn't see it.
