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.

Ball hits A-1 in the head and deflects toward A-1's basket. Horn sounds to end the period before the ball enters A-1's basket. Official disallows the goal.

Yes.

Was not a try for goal - therefore no basket. It is a goal in the case without the horn sounding because a live ball went through the basket.

The horn makes the ball dead unless it's a try/tap for goal, in which case the quarter is extended until it is certain that the ball will not go in.

That's my ruling.

Good answer. Now let's change it up a little. Middle of the period, so no horn is involved.

Passed ball hits A-1 in the head and deflects toward A-1's basket. The ball is on the ring when it is touched by B-1. Official calls basket interference, and awards the goal. Is the official correct?

For extra credit:

Passed ball hits A-1 in the head and deflects toward A-1's basket. The ball is on it's downward flight, above the level of the basket, outside the cylinder, has a good chance of going in, and the ball is touched by B-1. Official calls goaltending, and awards the goal. Is the official correct?

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.
