We had an earlier post about a lob pass from behing the 3 point line being tipped in off defender's hand and counting as 2. Suppose A1 shoots high arcing shot and it is short and deflects off A2's head (please don't laugh, I saw this happen) and goes in....is it a basket?

quote: Yes, it is a basket, and would count as 2 points (even if the "high-arcing shot" began behind the 3-point line). NFHS 5.1.1 says that "a goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and remains in or passes through" and the only times it is not scored as a goal is when it is cancelled by a throw-in violation (when an untouched throw-in goes through the basket) or a player-control foul occurs after the goal. |

I seem to remember something in the case book aboout this. I'm going to check my books tonight. Maybe it was A1 PASSED the ball (not shot)inside and ball richochets off one of his players into basket where it doesnt count. Please keep an open mind until I make sure. Thanks for your input.

No goal is scored if an untouched throw-in goes through the basket." So, for points to count, it doesn't matter if it's a try or not. Determining a try or not only affects whether it's two points or three, airborne shooter rule, etc. |
