You say "takes a jump shot". I say, was it a try? If not, two points for the other team as the jump shot was at the wrong basket.

It doesn't matter if it was a try or not. A thrown ball also counts as three if it goes in the correct basket.

Well, it certainly is beautiful here and a different kind of beauty here in Shishmaref with rolling tundra hills and no trees. Very basketball hungry state and community. The flag interestingly enough was designed by a 13 year old. Very interesting story (http://www.netstate.com/states/symb/flags/ak_flag.htm). Come and visit someday, you won't regret it.
