Scoring on the wrong basket

[IREFU2]

Just a quick question:

A1 inbounds the ball in the backcourt of Team B. Then A2 gets confused and scores on Team B's basket. Who gets the points and can I get a rule reference? We are talking NFHS rules and mechanics.

Nobody gets the points.....it's credited to the team in a footnote on the scoresheet.

NFHS rule 5-2-3.

Thanks, I was meaning which team though. But I will look at the rule!

The points are always credited to the team in whose basket they were scored.

My VA homeboy, what are you thinking?

First of all, don't you mean "in Team B's front court?

Second of all, if the ball goes through Team B's basket why would you think that B's gets doesn't get credit for the points? Would you be asking this question if it were an accidental tip-in? Don't overthink the situation, apply the most basic of rules and you have your answer.

Just trying to get some light on the subject. It was a mad house last night and my partner insisted I was wrong, so I was getting some confirmation. Actually I meant Team A's is going from the backcourt to the front court and A scores on B's basket. Make sense now?

Makes sense, but..... as I asked before, how do you believe that is any different that than someone accidentally tipping the ball in the wrong basket?

Did your partner who insisted you were wrong have a rules book reference to back him up?

If they were confused as to which way they were going and went from backcourt to frontcourt (which would actually be their frontcourt to backcourt, I think) and scored in wrong basket then that would be over and back violation before the score. Or am I reading too much into this and don't understand what actually happened. Unless the inbounds pass was into the backcourt (or is that the frontcourt) Ohhh I am soo confused now.

LOL Smokey
