If you're really not sure and one coach wants a 3 while the other wants a 2, just split the difference and call it a 2 1/2. Then everybody's happy.

I was about to suggest that you possessed Solomon-like wisdom, until I realized that Solomon would have solved it by ordering both coaches to be cut in half.

OK, BITS that made me laugh and then I thought cutting coaches in half is not a bad solution to some issues.

The benefit of this ruling is that it dramatically increases the probability of.... no overtime!

The key on this play is if a crew member has definite knowledge whether the the try was a 2 or 3 pt. attempt. If you aren't sure, then you have to go with whatever the calling official has.

I think we all need to help on the last second shot and certainly use the monitor if it is available to you.

If you don't have definite knowledge of a 3 point try, than it's a 2 point bucket.

Replay may only be used during a state/province championship.
