shot hits support wire

[just another ref]

This rule would apply when the ball hits the wire, the official blows it dead, the ball is awarded out of bounds to team B, but the scorer counts the basket anyway. "Sorry, I was talking to my wife on the cell phone, and didn't realize what the call was. I thought you had called goaltending or something. My bad."

As others have said, counting the score in this case is not the error. The mistake is a failure by the official to call a violation.There is no provision for going back in time to call a missed violation.

That's a book keeping error.

The part you're missing is there was no missed violation in Bob's sitch. The T admitted the ball hit the wire but he didn't realize that made the ball OOB.

He inadvertently set aside a rule leading to the erroneous counting of a score.

Oh? If it wasn't missed, then it musta got called. Right?

Sooooooo.....when did it get called? When did the whistle blow and the wire-hitting violation get called? When it hit the wire? Next Tuesday?

It didn't get called, that's what we're discussing. And it didn't get called because ...(and I'll go slowly...) The. Rule. Was. Inadvertently. Set. Aside.

Yeah, I can tell you're confused.

In other words, he missed the (violation) call.
