shot not hitting the rim?

I wonder what the FEEBLE rule is on this.

WAIT - no I don't.

Did anybody else see this post and become afraid we were being invaded by Borg? No? Just me? OK then.

Wow, Borg refs? That's an interesting thought...

Borg refs? Is that the kind that beats up on the McEnroe refs?

I didn't think Borg, I thought Engrish.

And I didn't know your Engrish reference, but I do look at Engrish.com every day. Do you?

I live in NY City. Engrish is our second language.

Legal play...

I had this happen last year. A fan (parent) sitting in the front row of a MS boys' game did not like me for not calling the violation. (His son was playing on the other team). The best part... he was wearing a zippered-referee shirt.

I politely leaned over to him during a dead ball and said, "since you're a referee, you should know that play is legal, rule ##-# on page ## of the rule book even says that it is legal." (At this point, I forget the exact rule citation, but I did at the time).

Coincidentally, this "official" has a copy of the NFHS rules book in his coat pocket in addition to his manual for the Friendly House Recreation League. He looked it up in the book, and discovered I was correct, and then did not hear a word from him the rest of the game.

Not a violation under FIBA. Legal play.

Next time, read the entire post, eh?

The shooter can retrieve his or her own airball, if the referee considers it to be a shot attempt. The release ends team control. It is not a violation for that player to start another dribble at that point. When an airborne player keeps control of an attempted shot that is blocked and is unable to release the ball and returns to the floor with it, that player has not traveled; it is a jump ball. If, in this situation, the shooter releases the ball, then this is simply a blocked shot and play continues.
