Score on a bounced ball?

[cmathews]

if the ball goes in before the buzzer goes off it is indeed counted. It would be a 2 point goal because it is no longer a shot after it hits the floor. If the buzzer sounds before the ball goes in the bucket it won't count, again because after it hits the floor it is no longer a shot, so the quarter won't be extended through the end of the try.

I concur with cmathews

This is true, but slightly inaccurate. The thrown ball ceases to be a try as soon as it is clear that it will not be successful. So as soon as the ball is obviously short, or when the ball falls below the level of the rim, it is no longer a try. Technical point, but just a little clarification.
