Quiz question for newbies (and others)
 
NF rules. During play, with both feet inbounds beyond the 3 point line, A1 takes a jump shot. The ball goes in the correct basket. He comes down with both feet inbounds still beyond the 3 point line. There is no foul or violation called on any player. Under what circumstance(s) could the official rule only two points should be credited?

Shot touches a teammate who is inside the arc.

Twelve minutes. A new world record. And mbyron was kind enough to answer in plain English so that we all wouldn't have to go and get out our Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition, to translate from mbyron to plain English.

Mark Padgett Sun Feb 22, 2009 04:44pm

Shot didn't touch anyone. There's another answer.

Ball hits the floor, then bounces up and goes in the basket.

BillyMac Sun Feb 22, 2009 05:44pm

This supersedes all previous notices.

Not fair. You can't change the information in the question after you have already gotten a correct answer. mbyron should still get to pick a prize off the top shelf. It would be nice if you also let just another ref select a prize off the bottom shelf, if you're feeling in a generous mood.

This reminds me of a joke, told by my supervisor, so I had to laugh. Joke: If you have five apples and eat two of them, how many oranges do you have? First answer: You can't tell. Reply: Six oranges. Second answer: How could I have figured out six oranges? Second reply: I just told you.

Pretty sure I don't want anything off Padgett's bottom shelf.

The correct answer is:

If scoring three points would have sent the game into overtime. :eek:

That answer was bottom shelf.

In this case, it's a South Park reference.

BillyMac Sun Feb 22, 2009 08:22pm

Thus the title of my post: Not recommended for children.

Yes. You officiate in one of our most beautiful states, according to a colleague of mine who owns a summer home in the Last Frontier State, and you have one of the most beautiful State flags (I'm an amateur astronomer).
