According to the FIBA rulebook 25.2.2 "If a player accidentally scores a field goal in his team's own basket, the points shall be recorded as scored by the captain of the opposing team." 25.2.3 "If a player deliberately scores a field goal in his teams's own basket, it is a violation and the goal does not count".

I don't like this rule, simply because we then have to judge the intent of the player. As anyone who followed the 2000 election fiasco well knows, this is not an easy task.
