OT or Game over??

[cmathews]

game over, the period ends while the ball is in the air...however, this is not a try so the ball is dead immediately, and A11 gets to take some good natured ribbing on the way home LOL

is this true for FIBA rules?

In NFHS play a try must be at a team's own basket. Since this was not, it is no different than a pass and the ball becomes dead at the expiration of time. Therefore, no goal can be scored and the game is over.

It is.

16.1.1 A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and remains within or passes through the basket.

The ball in this case is already dead when it enters the basket:

10.4 The ball does not become dead and the goal counts if made when:
• The ball is in flight on a shot for a field goal and [...] the game clock signal sounds for the end of the period.

But throwing the ball towards its own basket does not constitute "a shot for a field goal", according to:

15.1 A shot for a field goal [...] is when the ball is held in a player’s hand(s) and is then thrown through the air towards the opponents' basket.
(note that FIBA defines the basket that is attacked by a team as "the opponents' basket" and the basket which is defended by a team as "the team's own basket", art. 1.2.)

So dead ball - no basket - game over.

And for the rest of the season, too.
