It's a judgement call as to whether it's a tap or a bat.

True, but, if this happens...I'm giving him/her 3. You gotta throw them a bone just for pulling it off.

Tanner, there would be nowayinhell I would ever call that one a "bat". He deserves three.

Rules citation to back that statement up?

Would 6-3-7-c apply?
"ART. 7 . . . Neither jumper shall: ... c. Catch the jump ball."

What he said
But also it is completely the opinion of the official in a situation like this if it is a try - you can call it a shot or try if you want but you will have to beat the tape on it.

Does the tape read minds?

Sometimes I think that the evaluators hire Mis Cleo to look at the tapes.

I see where you are comming from and agree that it would be neat to award the three points - but you set a precident that may haunt you later -

Ex. Same game where off the opening jump ball you awarded a three-point basket for the "TAP"
4th quarter with 2 seconds to go in the game team A down 2 bringing the ball up in the back court, the ball gets away from A2 and with B2 and B3 closing in on the ball A2 swings his/her hand to tap the ball forward and hits it hard enough that it flys down court hits the backboard and goes it the basket.
Does Team A win or do we have overtime?

of course your moment on ESPN is guaranteed for life if your game ever has this.

Nope, if you catch it, you will then turn it into a "thrown ball" anyway as per rule 5-2-1(violation aside, of course). A "thrown ball" is a 3 too.

I was thinking that if the ball was under control, then the player has caught it, so has violated and the basket is neither a 3 nor a 2, but a 0.
