Slightly Off Topic, But A Reminder For Rookies ...

A player eighty feet away from the basket throws the ball into the air as high as it can possibly go without hitting the ceiling. The trajectory of the ball is such that the ball reaches the apex of its arc, and then descends in such a manner that it bounces about two inches behind the three point line, bouncing high into the air, after which it enters the basket. Two points, because the try ends when the throw is certain to be unsuccessful, or when the thrown ball touches the floor. Also, if the horn ending the period sounds while the ball is in the middle of its trajectory from the floor to the basket, before it enters the basket, then the ball becomes dead, and the basket will not count.
