The dog barks.

[WIRef]

LDUB - I am in total agreement with you. What I am trying to explain to those who are wanting to count the basket, is that the activity (unless flagrant) after the "bark" is to be ignored. For example, a defensive player holding the offensive player on the so-called "inbounds" would be ignored, due to the dead ball already occuring.

Where does the line get crossed to unsporting? The dog is an old version but I could see lots of variations... flying around like an airplane... or a choreographed dance.

What if the dance is argued that the players are actually giving hand (and feet/hip) signals to call a play?

Seriously though,

I had a situation once, the ball was handed to A1 below their basket. A2 came down the lane and shouted "No wait, wait I'm going to throw it in..." The ball had already been put at A1's disposal and the 5-count commenced. The B team sagged while A2 came to throw it in... only the inbound pass became a wide open uncontested layup.

Would this fall under a similar ruling?

Would a shot fake be considered unsporting? How about running one direction, then changing directions suddenly?

The difference between your play and these, and the OP, is the OP has NOTHING to do with basketball.
