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.

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

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

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.

Thanks anyway........
 

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:

I declare, Shenanigans!

That answer was bottom shelf.

Isn't that the guy who posts from Alaska?

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

Must be 18.
 

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

Billy, do you have a problem with me?

Apply only to affected area.
 

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).

... and a state motto that's in English. :cool:

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.

Then what does "The ball goes in the correct basket" mean?

... and the head of the executive branch has been known to incite creative thoughts in a goodly portion of the population.

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.

Oops.

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.
