shot not hitting the rim?

[181174]

Just to clarify the ball didn't hit the rim or the backboard, the player shot it over the rim and caught it on the other side without the ball touching anything else. Just wanted to clarify that it didn't hit the backboard either and see if that still makes it a legal play? thanks.

Unless this was an NBA game, the play was legal.

181174...again...Any player on the floor is entitled to a rebound on any shot attempt. It doesn't matter if it hits rim, backboard or both or nothing at all....if you deem it a legal shot attempt, they can rebound.

Straight out of the NFHS case book:

4.44 SITUATION B: A1 attempts a try after ending the dribble. The try does not touch the backboard, the rim or any other player. A1 runs and is able to catch the ball before it strikes the floor. Is this traveling? RULING: No. When A1 recovered his/her own try, A1 could either dribble, pass or try again. There was no team control after the ball was released on a try. (4-12; 4-41)

In a related matter, what happens when a free throw shooter's 1 and 1 attempt misses everything and ball is still in play in key area and doesn't go OOBs? Is this considered a live ball or violation?

If a FT shooter's unsuccessful attempt doesn't hit the rim it is a violation as soon as it is clear it will not contact the rim.

If his/her first attempt of the 1&1 misses everything then it is NOT live, the shooter has committed a violation and the ball is dead...
