A person scoring on their opponent's basket (which is the wrong basket) was likely behind their own 3-point line. However, a 3-point basket can only be scored on a try for goal. Since shooting at the wrong basket is not a try (by definition), there can not be a valid 3-pointer when shot at the wrong basket.

Not completely accurate either. It can be a tap/try or throw as long as it is made in your teams basket. 5-2-1

It used to have to be a try, which caused confusion on alley-oop passes that went in the basket. The officials had to judge whether it was a try or a pass. The rule change took that judgment away.

I know JugRef and Snaq know this rule inside and out and we are all in agreement. It is not possible make a basket at your opponents goal and be awarded 3 points.

Are you saying that I missed the case of a tap for 3 points in your own basket?

NO, I was including a throw. 5.2.1 sit C

5.2.1(C) A1 throws the ball from behind the three-point line. The ball is legally touched by; (c) A2 who is in the three point area;

Ruling: (c) score three points since the legal touch by a teammate occurred behind the three-point line.

A2's touching does not end the try, so I fail to see how your point makes mine inaccurate.

A1 didn't attempt a try, A1 threw the ball. Iow, A1 was perhaps passing to A2 who wasn't looking, the ball bounces off A2's head and goes through the basket. It is still worth 3 points, even though there wasn't a try.

I thought there was some rule that if a shot goes off someones head it doesent count? If on accident yes, but on purpose don't count the basket?

Well, if it's on purpose, it's pretty much going to be a T, I'd think. That would make the ball dead.

steve nash could do it. Maybe a shot for the Horse/Geico competition during All-Star weekend

If you can find that rule, let me know.

Otherwise, use your head and just apply the rules.

I wasn't trying to make your point inaccurate, I was just trying to add a throw (not a tap or try) to your point.

Footnote: M&M gives a description of what I meant.

Hey, Snaqs, that's how you do it!

(Yea, I know...I'll shut up now.)
